I get this question a lot and when I had both Duke and Thor this, inquires quadrupled. For those that don't know there is NO difference, both can be in reference to the same breed. Like with anything in different parts of the world they may have a different name but the meaning is the same. So true is it with the GM and GD. Anyone trying to sell you a different breed of either or is full of it.
Just like the names, people have difference preferences, types, and style. For example this is what people think of when they think of Great Dane:
Many people are unfamiliar with this breed below......
BOTH are Great Danes/German Mastiffs, it does not mean either side is right or wrong. So long as they follow their parent club breed of standard, DDC, AKC, etc..
Edit to add I just call mine GM because of good ol doggy politics. Hope this helps
