Great Dane is the breed, Harlequin ia the coat color.

Answer 2

Actually, no. Harlequin is not a breed of Dane, it's a color.

Great Danes have a chiseled looking head with deep set, dark, medium sized eyes. Their ears are set high and fold forward. They usually have black noses except when they are Blue in which case their nose is blue-black or spotted on the Harlequin. They have thick lips, short dense coat and a long tapering tail.

They come in a variety of colors including brindle, fawn, blue, black, harlequin and mantle.

Brindle Danes have a yellow gold base color with brindle stripes throughout and usually have a black mask.

Fawn Danes also have a yellow gold base with a black mask but the yellow gold color should stand out the most.

Blue Danes look steel blue while the Black Danes look shiny black.

Harlequin Danes need to have a white base with patches of black throughout the dog’s body.

Mantle Danes are black and white with a solid black blanket over the body and a white muzzle.

On average, males are about 120 to 200 pounds and 30-34 inches tall. Females are about 100-130 pounds and 28-32 inches tall.

Answer 3

Harlequin: Base color shall be pure white with black torn patches irregularly and well distributed over the entire body; a pure white neck is preferred. The black patches should never be large enough to give the appearance of a blanket, nor so small as to give a stippled or dappled effect. Eligible, but less desirable, are a few small gray patches, or a white base with single black hairs showing through, which tend to give a salt and pepper or dirty effect.
Mantle: The color shall be black and white with a solid black blanket extending over the body; black skull with white muzzle; white blaze is optional; whole white collar preferred; a white chest; white on part or whole of forelegs and hind legs; white tipped black tail. A small white marking in the black blanket is acceptable, as is a break in the white collar.

Harlequin coat colorOther colors occur occasionally but are not acceptable in the show ring. Because they are not valid for show dogs, they are not pursued by breeders. These colors include white, fawnequin, merle, merlequin, fawn mantle, and others. These are sometimes advertised as "rare" colors to unsuspecting buyers. Any coat that includes "mouse grey" is disqualified from show.

Cropping of the ears is common in the United States and much less common in Europe. Indeed, in some European countries, in parts of Australia, and in New Zealand, the practice is banned, or controlled such that it may only be performed by veterinary surgeons for health reasons
