6. Great Danes are excellent family dogs

People seeking a watchdog that they can also trust around children should consider a Great Dane. Protective, yet not overly aggressive, Great Danes are naturally intimidating due to their loud bark and large size. However, if these dogs feel threatened or feel that their human family is in danger, they will exhibit aggressive behavior towards the threat. Otherwise, they know to be gentler around children. Their high affection levels and sweet, playful nature make them an excellent family dog.
