Thread: We're Buying from a Breeder

    CCL,

    One of the longest lived dogs my family had was a Dane-mix. (She was also the silliest, clumsiest fool we've ever had, but that's another thread) She lived to be 14 1/2 years old, so age with a dane mix isn't always an issue. Gracie also really didn't eat us out of house and home, she ate a little more than a smaller dog, but not by much.

    I have tried explaining to him that a full grown male lab eats as much, or more, than a Dane or Dane mix. Some male labs can get to be 100+ pounds, so I dont get why he is so against having a dane. I know more about the Dane that any other breed, I have met mixed breed Danes and Purebreds and find them all to be gentle giants. They have been my dream dog since I was very young. Some danes live 6 years and some love 10+, it really just depends on how healthy to dog is. I will show him a bunch of breeds tonight, and run him through petfinder and let you know what catches his eye. Pssst... I wont tell him the breed until after he says yes or no.

    Men.......... (no offence to any men here, just mine in particular!) Cant live with them, cant live without them.

    Tasha, I am in tears. I am so glad you've changed your mind on this.

    I was looking through different shelters in BC.. Look at this sweetheart. It doesn't say anything about how he is with kids, but everything else sounds perfect for your situation. He's also a Lab mix! He especially melts my heart as he reminds me of Nala.

    He looks like a sweety! We will go have a look, maybe this Saturday! If he is what we want - pray that the SPCA doesnt turn us down.
