If I had a large breed dog I would probably go with Eagle Pack LB or Innova LB dog food.

Have you ever seen the great dane lady's website ( Introduction | GREATDANELADY.COM )? I found it to be very informative. She is a Great Dane breeder as well as a canine nutrition consultant.

Nature's Recipe, which I get at Petsmart, has worked well for me. My dogs love the Venison & Rice flavor, and I like how the front of the bag notes how the food has "No Corn."

Royal Canine is not a very good food. Definitely stay to the better, high quality brands like Eagle Pack, Innova, etc.

We are currently raising our Dane pup on Chicken Soup Large breed. I'm not a "dog food snob" in that I don't think that spending more money makes it a better food. Both our breeds are large (one breed is giant) and I've fed food based on it's protein and fat analysis with the two top ingredients being meat sources for years. We currently feed the AmStaffs a food formulated for hunting dogs because the AS's need a higher fat content due to their activity levels. As I tell my puppy buyers, "feed what you want as long as it has good protein and fat sources and keeps the dog in good weight and looking good." I do recommend that they not feed puppy food unless it is formulated for large breeds.

By the way, Eagle Pack was specifically formulated for and tested on Great Danes.

I use Canidae for all life stages. I bought some expensive brand first and it gave the dogs the runs. So far so good with this; my puppy hasn't gotten obese and my older dog is doing just fine.
