    !!Great Danes!!

    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 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.

    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 computer

    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!!!!!

    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 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

    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
