Hey mate welcome
hmmm in all honesty the danes in a pure form can be a tad soft and knock up very quickly due to all the weight they have to carry around with them also they lack in some speed which can be vital at times.
Have you thought about a first cross as they make a great cross and i have alot of time for them and if you are serrious about hunting then i would definately suggest them as a cross
