How to Identify a Labradane

Labradanes are a mixed breed of dog that cross a Labrador Retriever with a Great Dane. [1] Due to the fact that they are mixed breed dogs, identifying one may be a challenge since they essentially have the traits of two different dogs. However, this wikiHow will discuss which traits a Labradane is known to have, and thus help you figure out whether a dog is a Labradane.

Method 1
Method 1 of 3:

Body Structure

  1. Labradanes are usually somewhere between 24 to 30 inches (61 to 76 cm) in height, and they typically weigh anywhere from 100 to 180 pounds (45 to 82 kg). [2]
  2. Labradanes typically have a large skull as well as a flat, broad forehead and a muzzle that is rectangular in shape, defined well and big. Their jowls are usually significantly more droopy than a Labrador Retriever's. [3]

  3. Labradanes generally have pendulous, fairly large ears that face forward. [4]
  4. Labradanes normally have eyes that are set far apart from each other, either blue or brown in color and expressive. [5]
  5. Labradanes tend to have a slim, long tail. The fur found on their tail should be a little longer than the fur on their body. [6]
  6. Overall, Labradanes should appear muscled well and tall. Their limbs should appear noticeably long, and they should appear to have a noble face. [7]

Method 2 of 3:

Coat

  1. Labradanes are most frequently black, white or brown in color. Though you may notice small markings, they are usually just one color throughout. [8]
  2. Labradanes typically have a coat that is short in length. [9]
  3. Labradanes are usually moderate shedders, and thus, they will need to be brushed every few days. [10] They will also need to be bathed at least once per month [11] and have their ears checked often, to make sure they do not have any build up that is waxy or any odor. You'll also want to dry their ears well after baths to lower their infection risk. [12]

Temperament

  1. Labradanes are typically loyal dogs. However, this loyalty also means they can be prone to separation anxiety, so this is something to be aware of. [13]
  2. Labradanes are typically known to be friendly dogs who enjoy being around humans. However, they can sometimes be wary towards complete strangers, so this is something to keep in mind. [14]
  3. Because Labradanes are so large, they usually need a good amount of exercise, through activities such as a brisk walk. [15]
  4. Labradanes are usually smart and eager to please, and therefore, typically easily trained. However, this training will need to occur from early on. [16]
  5. Though they may not always remember their large size (so you should keep this in mind if they are around kids), Labradanes are known to typically be good with kids. [17]
