Pounds. The dark band is where most Great Dane Bulldog Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.

Height runs 21–24 inches at the shoulder, against 28–32 in for the Great Dane and 14–15 in for the English Bulldog. The parents differ a lot in size, so litters vary more than usual. Breeders normally use the larger breed as the mother to keep whelping safe.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding

High

Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.

Energy

High

Plan on long daily walks plus real exercise, such as running, fetch or a sport. A yard alone will not tire this dog out.

Trainability

Moderate

The Great Dane rates moderate and the English Bulldog moderate; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Very low to moderate

A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.

Temperament

The Great Dane is usually described as friendly, patient, dependable. The English Bulldog as friendly, courageous, calm. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
