    White great dane (pic)

    I've been meaning to post this for a week now. Last weekend I took the dogs out for a little hike and while we were there I saw a completely white great dane which I have not seen before in person. She was beautiful, I do not know if she was deaf or not. I did snap a picture though.

    She is a beauty. I'm glad you got a pic of her. I don't think I have ever seen an all while one either. Very cool looking.

    Oh my, she is beautiful! I love Great Danes, they are my favorite breed. I wonder if she was deaf....either way, she is really pretty. Thank you for sharing the picture of her with us.

    She's quite pretty, I've never seen a white Great Dane before, either.

    Lovely! Thanks for stopping to take a photo. So unusual, bet her mom gets lots of questions as she walks her dogs.

    With no pigment in her nose I too wonder if she's a lethal merle?

    She's beautiful no matter!

    I did some looking around after I saw her and from what I could find, a white can be the result of a harlequin and mantle merle crossing. All that I could find were deaf or had eye problems though and I think would be considered a lethal white.


    ETA: I found this that explains more http://www.gdca.org/health/deafness.htm

    Yes.. if he is the result of a merle x merle breeding he could be a double dilute (double merle or lethal white).... those can have hearing and vision problems but not all lethal whites/double dilutes/double merles (whatever you wanna call them) have these problems.... I know with Collies (shelties, aussies any breeds with merles really), some double dilutes can even be born without eyes...
    If you're gonna breed Collies, don't you forget to breed in the brains and common sense. Without that you won't have a Collie, you'll have just another dog.

    Very stunning Dane. But I have to wonder also if it could be deaf or blind? Danes don't usually come all white do they, this is the first one I've seen. Hope the nose doesn't get sunburned...

    Thanks for posting this picture, Jess. She is just incredible. I've never seen a dog that comes close to looking like her.

    She is stunning! I am partial to pure white animals, considering I have two.
    I know she isn't albino, but can dogs be albino? I am sure it is very rare.
