All of Sasha and Dez's babies have found great homes. We are so thankful to each one of the babies new parents. Although Sasha and Dez produced beautiful and smart pups, they were our first and last litter. We'd also like to thank everyone who have inquired about the puppies.
Daniffs - Great Dane/Bull Mastiff Mix
Daniffs are mixed breed dogs, combinations between Great Danes and Mastiffs. Usually, hybrid dogs are created by breeders in order to get dogs with certain characteristics, but often enough they’re simply the product of accidental breeding between dogs of different breeds. In our case, we purposely bred Sasha and Dez. We purchased Sasha from a breeder in Fayetteville, North Carolina. She was a puppy from a Great Dane Mother and Bull Mastiff father. She was one in a litter of 14. Dez was purchased from a Breeder in Kansas City, Missouri. He was also a puppy from a Great Dane Mother and Bull Mastiff Father. He was one of a litter of 19. Dez has the blue gene as his breeder had three blue puppies. Our litter did not produce any blue puppies. Sasha is 3 years old and Dez is 2 years old.
Being a hybrid, the Daniff will take some characteristics from both the Mastiff and the Great Dane. The result is a bit unpredictable, so a dog might look more like a Mastiff, but might have the temperament or health issues that are characteristic to the Great Dane. The fact that they’re mixed doesn’t make them any less intelligent or lovable, so if you have one of these dogs, enjoy them and give them a good home. While both Sasha and Dez came from a Great Dane Mother and Bull Mastiff father, they look similar but carry different traits. Sasha has more the Great Dane traits while Dez has more of the Bull Mastiff traits. Sasha is very intelligent while Dez is lovable and lazy. Another difference between the two, Sasha weighs 80 lbs while Dez weighs 125 lbs.
Great Dane Mastiff Mix Comparison
Due to the size of these dogs, the average lifespan is not as long as it is for other breeds. While the Mastiff is expected to live a bit over 10 years, the Great Dane usually has a lifespan of less than 10 years. The Great Dane Mastiff mixed dog is a big pet, since both breeds have over 25 inches in height and a weight of over 100 pounds. Both breeds have short coats, they shed an average amount and the grooming process is very easy to do, or almost non-existent.
Temperament wise, daniffs are fairly friendly when it comes to strangers, especially true for the Great Dane, which is a great family dog to have. Daniffs are dependent on people, so there is no independent streak to worry about if it’s something you don’t want. They’re also submissive, so obedience training shouldn’t be difficult. They’re very good family dogs and they do well with kids. As for other pets, as long as they were around while the dog was a puppy, they should be OK.
Training & Exercise of a Daniff
The Daniff’s training process will vary, depending on the side of the gene pool they take after. The Dane is the one that is trainable at a decent pace, but the Mastiff is known for being a bit harder to train. Sasha was house broken in 2 days while it took Dez 5 days. Both breeds need a certain amount of exercise in their life, especially the Great Dane. A big yard is recommended, especially if it takes after the Dane side of the family, but the Mastiff needs some open space as well. It doesn’t mean that they will not do well in apartments though. Both dogs will be OK, as long as their owner makes sure they get their daily exercise.
