ABOUT US – Our History
A specialist club for Great Danes was first formed in the United Kingdom in April 1883 – primarily due to the efforts of Mr Frank Adcock, Mr R Leigh Pemberton and the Rev Gambier Bolton. It was proposed to call it The Great Dane Club and under that name would be included all the various coloured specimens known as – Boar Hounds, Tiger Mastiffs and German Mastiffs.
Update – Vote on Registration of the colour Merle
On behalf of the Great Dane Club Committee I would like to thank all of our members who kindly took the time to vote and to give their thoughts and opinions, it is much appreciated.
I can now confirm that the members have voted by a large majority to support the registration of Merles under the heading Non Breed Standard Colour and the Breed Council has been duly informed.
The Great Dane Club Committee is very grateful of the support and feedback given to what is a very important decision for our breed.
Kind Regards
David Simpson

Great Dane Care Charitable Trust – CORONAVIRUS STATEMENT
“Great Dane Care Charitable Trust would like to say that we are open as long as it is legally possible. Due to the present situation we cannot allow entry to the assessment centre without prior arrangement to protect our vital staff and volunteers. The same consideration is going to be given to our army of home checkers who will not be expected to put themselves or others at risk. Vet checks will be normally be taken up for people wanting to take on a Great Dane and then home checks organised after rehoming until the situation changes.
Donations are very welcome as many of the events normally attended this year for fundraising and breed rescue awareness, have been cancelled, so far this year, your continuing support is needed!! We hope the situation will soon come to an end and you will all keep safe.”
