It's strange that they act this way, because Great Danes don't usually have this kind of personality, they're known as gentle giants."
This is true of a single dog. However, you get three of more dogs together and you can get a reversion back to pre-domesticated pack mentality. At that point the dogs do not think much differently than wolves. It's too bad that these dogs will probably have to be put down. Once they start hunting in packs there's usually no going back.

I didn't think about that. The "pack mentality" is well-researched and established. Of course, you guys are right. After owning one, and knowing that my ex-GF had two at once (before we got the current one--they don't live for very long..7/8 years is typical), I can say that I don't think one person could take the time necessary to care for 7 of them. They are like 6 year-old children. Lovable, but they need constant attention.
