Are Danes good with children? Are Danes good watchdogs?
Danes are very good with children. I would caution that you watch Danes and children when they are together just because a Dane is so big that even just licking a child may knock them over (of course some kids think this is great). Danes are also good watchdogs (even if they can’t tell the difference between a doorbell on TV and a real one -grin- ). Of course people think twice before entering a house where the dog is looking back through the peephole at them – grin again-. The Danes I have known also seem to be able to easily distinguish between those you readily accept into the house and those you don’t. And if you have done your job and trained them to leave people alone they are more than happy to lay down somewhere in the room and leave your guests alone AFTER they have said hello! (and provided the person is not a previous wrestling buddy!).
