i've never heard of a dog looking different just because he was neutered. having your dog neutered at a young age prevents all kinds of health problems. i suggest getting him neutered before 18 months.

these toys are some of the toys i bought for Jake.
hol-ee roller ball
big paw american ball
booda solo tug
talking fleece toys
the fleece gorilla is all my dogs favorite toy. i bet we've been through 5 of those things since i first got Gracie.

i think the length of the leash is a personaly preferance. i prefer 6 foot leads, but it's really up to you.

i wouldn't use a prong collar on a young puppy! it could do some damage to their air pipe. if you train your puppy well enough at a young age you don't need a prong collar.


i know this was intented for .sarah, but i couldn't help but reply.
Lute, thank you! Of course you can reply, you know alot about Danes too!

About being neutered @ 18 months...

From a very experienced and well known breeder: (www.greatdanelady.com)

"When males are neutered too young, before their hormones are full tilt, they do not gain the muscle that an adult male should have and look like a gangly puppy their whole life. I do not recommend neutering a male until at least 12 months of age."
