Understanding Great Dane Colors

Beautiful Coats. The Same Great Dane Character.

Great Danes can be found in several recognizable coat colors and patterns. Color describes a dog's appearance, while responsible breeding decisions should also consider health, temperament, structure and pedigree.

At Mainely Danes, our puppies may include Blue, Harlequin, Merle, Fawn, Black, Brindle and Mantle Great Danes depending on current and upcoming litters.

Puppy availability changes, so families interested in a particular color should check our available puppies or contact us about future litters.

Choosing Your Puppy

Color Is Only One Part of Choosing a Great Dane

It is natural to have a favorite Great Dane color, but appearance should not be the only consideration when choosing a puppy.

Temperament, health, energy level, family environment and the responsibilities associated with owning a giant breed are equally important.

We encourage families to learn about each available puppy individually rather than selecting solely by coat color.
