    People who think they know your dog better than you!

    I used to get the dalmatian comment with a merle! I've heard Weimeraner, Greyhound, and Catahoula too. I've also heard that it can't be a Dane because they come with ears that stand up. Maverick is a little anxious around people but tends to attract a lot of attention. He gets people...

    Chick Magnet Breeds

    Danes attract a ton of attention, male or female. My husband had (and we still have him) a Staffordshire Bull Terrier when I met him. I'm not a big fan of the bully breeds but I like almost all dogs.

    Fave Breeds VS Breeds That Would Properly Suit You

    Not all pitties are DA. We have a Staffy Bull that gets along great with all dogs. We hear this all the time about Danes. I'd rather have 8-10 years with a Dane than 20 with another breed. The time you spend with a Dane will be the best time of your life. If you've never had a Dane, you...

    What breed was your first dog?

    As a kid the first dog that was "mine" was a Sheltie/Corgi cross. We had dogs before her but she was mine. My mom got her from one of her coworkers who wanted to get rid of her. Little did we know she was already pregnant with 5 puppies (black lab). We found homes for the puppies and had her...

    New addition

    Our newly adopted Maverick. He's a 3 year old fawn Great Dane. He's had some issues in his adoptive homes and has come to live with us because we've dealt with his issues with another dog we had and he had run out of other options. He fits in pretty well here. I hope our foster is adopted...

    What dog foods have you fed

    I've had dogs for a while so I'll just give you the foods our current dogs have been on. Nutro - while our dogs did well on it I wouldn't feed it again because I don't like the ingredients and because of the recalls. Eagle Pack - this had been a popular food with the Dane crowd. Our...

    Why was your dog bred?

    Maia's litter was to produce a show pup. Maia is an unshowable color so she was sold as a pet while her harl sister went on to become a champion. Spencer was bred by a BYB to line her own pockets while producing puppies that don't match the Dane standard at all. I'm sure she advertised him as...

    Shane and the cat

    Our foster dog gets along so well with cats. He has a potential adopter coming to meet him. They have a sphinx. It has to be a good match!

    Dogs who love everybody?

    Our Staffordshire Bull Terrier LOVES everyone. When he goes to the vet he spends most of the visit licking the vet's face. Our Danes are friendly but not all are. Some are very aloof.
