Obviously a much loved pet! I'm sure he helps you spot all these mushrooms...Thanks for sharing.

Yes, you're right - that's basicly it. He also has the tail of the Swiss and not that thin one of a Great Dane...and no hanging eye-lids - it's the focussed view of the Swiss again. But he's "only" 82cm in height and 120 lbs in weight...a Great Dane is quite a bit more of a dog ;) Also the fur is from the Swiss - lots of undercoat that protects him superbly from cold...he's a snow-lover :)

What a great cross! He looks to me like he as the body shape of the Sennenhund and the robe of the great dane.

Yes, may I introduce: Apollo, the gentle black giant :)

Redirected here from you last spotting! What a great dog! Does he/she have a name?
