Great Danebull (Great Dane x American Pitbull Terrier)

Though the Great Danebull is not too popular a designer breed, yet it manages to charm all by its appealing looks and soothing temperament. It is highly protective and would emit a distinct vocalization on sensing any threat near its vicinity. These people-oriented dogs often suffer from separation anxiety when left alone for extended periods.
