LPS Great Dane #817 is dark brown with a cream snout, spot over right eye, inner ears, undercoat, paws, and tail tip. Its eyes are cyan to turquoise. This pet came in two variants, one with a Sassiest eye type and one with a standard eye type. The former had a dark pink LPS label imprinted on its leg, while the latter had a lighter pink label. 
==Production==
Great Dane #817 was first produced in 2009 in a Pet Pairs set with LPS Ostrich #818. The set included four leg warmers that could be placed on the dog’s legs, and a headband for the ostrich.
This pet was produced again in 2010 for the Littlest Pet Shop Friends: 6-pet multipack, a few months after the game had been released. In this set, the eye style was changed to the standard highlight. The other pets included were Beaver #810, Kitten #815, Rabbit #828, Peacock #869, and Penguin #1448. 3 cardboard screenshot images were included as well as a special code that could be used in-game (likely the cheat code that unlocks a new shirt). The package exclaimed,
“Your pets are video game STARS! Play these video games on Nintendo DS and Wii and see your pets ‘come alive!’”
There are 16 pets that have used this mold. Its two designs are referred to as Number Variants.
==Personality Type==
In its original release, it is depicted as a Sassiest Pet.
===Media===
This pet, alongside Peacock #869, is often promoted as a mascot for licensed video games of the franchise after the release of the Littlest Pet Shop “Worlds” games. It is a playable character in all versions of Littlest Pet Shop: Friends, with the pet's number being listed in the game booklet. It also appears as a non-playable character in Littlest Pet Shop: Biggest Stars.

====Personality====
The Great Dane is very energetic, spunky, and adventurous. It also has a huge sweet tooth, as evident by its dialogue mentioning its love for cake and other sweet treats as well as constantly having cookie crumbs on its nose, which its scent often tricks it into thinking it’s something else such as cookie-scented perfume or the location of Bakery Tweets. It and its best friend also share a love for fashion.
