How are great Dane and Pomeranian developed?

Great Danes were developed in Germany as a blend of hunting dogs and mastiff-type breeds, aimed at hunting large game and serving as noble guardians. Pomeranians, on the other hand, descended from larger Spitz-type dogs in the Arctic regions and were bred down in size in the Pomerania region of modern-day Germany and Poland, becoming popular as companion animals. Both breeds reflect their unique historical purposes, with Great Danes being associated with strength and grandeur, while Pomeranians are known for their lively and playful nature.
