The great drawback with Great Danes is that they don’t live very long. That’s hard, but otherwise they are a great breed. Personally I’m against any fad buying. Frenchies are the newest fad and unless you go to a very reputable breeder you chance ending up with a dog with lots of medical issues. They are very inbreed. For a while it was Dalmatians, they need lots of space and are very energetic. People see fad dogs and get them without any real knowledge then the shelters in up with all the rejects. But I too don’t personally like chihuahua s either. I like the hearders as a whole but they are not for everyone either.
