Who here has a Great Dane? Or- what do you think about them?
Just wondering. I love Great Danes, they are my second fav. breed. My favorite colors are Mantel and Blue Merle.
Thanks! :)

I don't have a Great Dane, but a think that they are great dogs!. Plus my brothers name is Dane :)
We are currently fostering a great dane. He is great, very nice and friendly. He loves to play with our puppy Ginger.

I think Great Danes are, well GREAT> I like the black and white (maybe a little more black than the one in the picture above). We recently had a Great Dane come in the shop I work for that was SOOOOOOOOO big, three of us could just barely get it into the tub. But what a gentle giant.
We have 2 Danes...Jazzy is a mantle merle and Daisy is a mantle. Both are rescues...Jazz from Animal Control and Daisy found running an alley eating out of garbage cans.

I can't find Daisy right now.
OK...I gotta get help from Mike to post them...it's not cooperating.
Are you trying to use a picture on your computer? to show it, the picture has to be uploaded to a web site, or you could simply attach the picture from your computerQuote:

Ah ha, my dad's favorite breed (and about the only one he knows exists) of dog. He has little statues of them and stuff.
well its sort of a long story...so i'll give a brief synopsis...
my dear Ms. Puss passed to the Rainbow Bridge on aug. 20th....
so after i felt just a little better i went to the P-o-u-n-d to get a new kitty that delilah and i could love...well, the cat room was under renovation...so they did what????they showed me their newly refurbished dog rooms......
there he was...Joey...an 8 1/2 mo. old BIG DOG.....i could see the dane immediately in him....however when he stood up...there was the other half showing....JOEY is a Danemation......YES a GREAT DANE/DALMATION!!!!!!!!!
Delilah is a Dalmation/hound mix......
so now i have a pair!!!! of BIG SPOTS!!!!!
if he didn't have a name i would have called him Samson!!!! how fitting would that have been?!?!?!?
He is wonderful....now 10 mos.,90lbs...and stands level with my hip....with 6 more months of growing time!!!!
Someday...i hope that i can learn to post pics so i can show off my "BOOKENDS!!!!"
they are a truly wonderful pair!!!!!
What's "mantle"?
"Mantle" is a color for Great Danes...if i am correct..it is the black dane...but must have white bib on chest.....Please correct me Dane lovers if i made a Great Error
Oh Mugsy...i cannot get your photo to come up...i'd love to see the pics of your two Great Beauties!!!!
I have always loved Great Dames, they are so beautiful and have such a kind heart. I like the tan ones, not sure what they are called. I prefer a more solid colour. I have always wanted to get a Great Dane but have heard they only have lif spans of 8 - 10 years and am not sure I could go through losing a dog at what seems like such a young age.
Does anyone know if this is true?

Sadly yes, this is true of Great Danes and most giant breeds (ie...irish wolfhounds and mastiffs). Due to their size they have a short life span.

Mantle is also called Boston, However, the Akc changed it due to the Boston terrier breeders complaining. Here is a description of the other colors
Fawn - is a tan color with a black mask
Mantel- is all black with a white chest
Harliquin- is black and white
Merle - is white and gray
Brindle - is black and brown usually striped
our Daisy is a harliquin and Jasimine is a merleaquin ( part merle and part harliquin).
here are their pictures
Daisy
here is jasmine
Now, with no offense to Daisy, Jasmine is spectacular!!
Daisy is pretty!
Here is a front view of a mantle dane.
MUGSY- I would just like this moment to tell you the following:
a. I hate you
b. Your dogs are GORGEOUS
c. I want your dogs really bad
d. I am jelous
Ha,ha- just kidding. WOW! Your pups are *SOOOOOOOO* cute, pretty, adorable etc. etc. Jasmine is my favorite. Where did ya get them from? :D
I noticed a Beagle pup in the background of Jasmine's pic- who is that?
Jazzy came from the shelter at the age of 3 monts after being shoved into a recepticle at the shelter.
Daisy came to us at approximately 6 months after being found running up and down an alley eating out of garbage cans.
Billy is the one eyed Beagle in the background. He came to us from a neighbor who was going to dump him in the woods after he kept getting out of his yard.
Thanks for the compliments, but you CAN'T have them!! lol
There are all kinds of Great Dane rescues out there with needy Danes.
PS...I hate you too being in Wisconsin. Mike and I are probably going to move to the Hayward or Ashland area in a few years.
Well, I know I'm a little late, but I've got a Dane! She's still a puppy at this point (she'll be 19 weeks Sunday) but she's our big baby! Dakota is a Harlequin Great Dane that went to the vet yesterday and weighed in at 55 1/4. I don't have any pics w/ me (shhh, I'm at work) but the link to our image station photo albums (of which she's the main star) can be found below!
Mugsy- that is so kind of you to rescue those pups! Billy the Beagle- I like that name! Its so cute! The Ashland area is pretty nice. I am in love with the LaCrosse area. Its right on the Mississippi River. It is very "hilly" over in that area, and it is a very pretty place to live around. Plus, you don't get the freezing temps like the Ashland area. Obviously it gets cold in WI- but it is even worse way up north. Glad to hear somebody else likes my state, besides me. I've only seen about 3 WI pals on here :( oh well!
Anyhow back to danes........
Dakota's Mommy- your pup sounds really cute.
oh Mugsy and Dakotahs'mom....i just love your Dane Kids!!!! i went to imagestation and checked out your puppy pics...they are fabulous....you have to share the wall unit one!!!!!
and Dear Mugsy....all your Rescue of 15 are beautiful...i didn't realize that 2 were danes...they are both GORGEOUS!!!!!!
love the unclipped ears also!!!!
if John let me loose i don't know if i would stop at 15...i also envy you guys!!!! and respect all you do for Rescue animals and organizations!!!!;) :)
i wish that i could get a pic of joey and deli up...i'll keep trying...
Oops...i meant to ask...how old is Dakotah now?????How big????
:)
We are at 17 now!!! lol
WOW!!! Mugsy!!! I didn't realize that you got two more...where are you living????in a tent?????
You guys are wonderful....
just kidding about the tent!!!!!
Hugs and Treats for all!!!!
Trust me...sometimes I think a tent would be preferable!! lol j/k.
Thanks everyone for the compliments...we like them too!
Dakota turned 19 weeks on Sunday and when we had her at the vet last Wednesday, she weighed in at 55 1/2 pounds. I'm not sure if Image Station is letting you guys switch from one of my albums to the others, so here is a link to one of the other albums that are more recent pics of her in the Main Part of Our House!
