Dogz
"Bootz, like setters, grow up to be big, strong Dogz. You may have met your match in the tug-o-war game with these Dogz."  - Dogz  The Great Dane breed started off as one of the original five in Dogz. Bootz are characterized by their size; the breed's  file is simply called. Unlike Great Danes, they have flopped ears and no darker mask marking. Their most defining feature is their long legs, which makes their body appear somewhat stubby. They have lighter-colored fur on their legs and muzzles and light speckling on their backs.

Dogz II
"An overly loving and eager breed of Dogz, Great Danes can be quite clumsy and are often unaware of their large size; Dogz of this breed will accident

ally bump into toyz or step on smaller Dogz or sleeping Catz. Great Danes love to wrestle and play with other Dogz and adore playing with the mice and chew toy. If left alone, your Great Dane will probably howl for your attention - and you will be sure to know when your Great Dane is on the chase, this breed's bark is unmistakable. Be sure to feed your Great Dane LOTS of food, these Dogz eat with a gusto!"  - Petz.com   "Great Danes start off small, but grow up to be large, loveable Petz.

Appearance
Great Danes' eyes can be either 2, 6 or heterochromatic with the left eye 2 and the right eye 6, although this will not be inherited; the game's genetics will only recognize and pass on the right eye 6.

1/3 of red Great Danes have a black patch on the top of their snout that is an inheritable marking.

Red Great Danes are the only variety that passes on a link between snout color and eyebrow color. Breeding other colors will cause the eyebrows to inherit the body coat color.
