currently he only weighs about 120 lbs, but i expect he'll top 175 by next summer, he's only 11 months old and still has alot of growing to do. His Sire was 200 lbs and his dam was 165 lbs.

Bruiser weighs about 122 lbs and we got him a lifejacket a few weeks ago for when he comes on our boat. We got ours from a website online. In all honesty I couldn't tell you what site it was but we just did a Google.com search for dog lifejackets. It took awhile to find one big enough but we DID find one. Good luck!

Have you tried a hunding and fishing catalog. My step-mother got one for her large breed Boxer, he was almost the same size as my Dane and I would guess your Dane. She said she found it in a hunting and fishing catalog. I sorry but I don't know the name of the catalog.....just remember it started with a C. (i think) sorry.

Yeah I thing that the catalog. If it's not in there call them and ask. She has told me before that some things she couldn't find in the catalog but, when she calls they have it. I know thats how she got a orange vest for her dog for the their walks. (she didn't want any hunters to think he was a deer)

I think he'd fit mine perfectly, we're about the same weight - from one great dane to another! :D Could he teach me to swim. :confused: ... only joking.

Have you checked on ebay?

Here, there are always life jackets at the petshops. Have you looked into a petshop?
