The Colors of a Great Dane 1: Blue

D Dog Fan | March 17th, 2008

I will spend some time discussing the colors of a Great Dane..those colors that are acceptable according to breed standard. The acceptable colors include: Fawn, Blue, Brindle, Black, Harlequin, Merle.

Today’s color will be

BLUE

This happens to be my favorite Great Dane Color. A Blue Great Dane is so noble and unique with the bluish, steely grey shine of its coat. The color has to be a pure steel blue and white markings on the chest and toes are not desirable. Blue Danes may have lighter eyes; making them even more unique.
