I’ve been thinking about getting a large dog breed, but IDK what I’m really getting into tbh. I know they need more space and exercise, but are they really that hard to take care of? Also, how expensive are we talking when it comes to food and training? I’ve been looking at breeds like Great Danes and Bernese Mountain Dogs… they look so chill. Just wondering if anyone here has experience with big dogs and can share what it’s really like day to day?
I’ve had a Great Dane before… super sweet dog, but yeah they eat A LOT lol. Like prepare your wallet

Yep! But now they’re like giant friendly donkeys Tall as one too, around 35 inches average
FYI, Saint Bernards are also a great option if you want a family-friendly big dog. Super loving but BIG personalities (and weight lol)
