How much do Great Dane puppies cost in the UK?+
Great Dane puppies typically sell for £1,200–£2,500 in the UK. Prices move with health testing, Kennel Club registration, pedigree lines and location. Vaccinations, microchipping, worming and a vet check should all be included in the price.
What should I ask a Great Dane breeder before buying?+
Ask to see the puppy with its mother in the home where it was bred, request health test certificates for both parents, confirm the microchip is registered and the first vaccination is done, and check the breeder holds a council licence if they breed regularly. Never pay a deposit before visiting in person.
Is a Great Dane a good family pet?+
Great Danes suit families who can meet their exercise, training and grooming needs. Match the breed to your home, your daily routine and the age of your children rather than to looks alone.
