Great Danes

[Danegirl2208]

A friend of mine has a Dane - I just love him! For some reason, he doesn't jump all over any one of her friends but me. She always feels bad that he tries to jump on me and get me to pet him, but I take it as a compliment. Do any of you Dane owners have this happen? Just curious.......

a dane should never be allowed to jump,they are far to big for that.. i dont think anyone would apprectiate 180lbs of dog jumping on them (ive had it happen, its not a bit fun )

Yes, a jumping dane is not safe. They could easily knock you down . Our dane was never allowed to jump, ever. His one bad habbit was backing up to the couch and having a seat. He'd never get all the way on the couch, just sit there with his butt on the couch and his front feet on the floor. He was funny.

That's the wierd thing - he's never jumped on anyone else but me, and they've had him for over 10 years.

Yup, It's certain. Bailey's set the bar high. Y'all gotta try and get ones with " fancy" colouring.

Oddly enough, though.... I'm not as fond of his parents than the bailey himself. Probably because they are black and white, with no gray. Were as Baileys got the gray. ( not meaning that you are old, Of course )

Yes, sometimes Jen jumps on People ( it's sometimes funny, because she's so big, people think she would be heavy, they brace for it, than she's only, say, 30 lbs )


But, it definetly WOULDN"T be fun with a dane. Especially if the dane is heavier than the human.

The resue I volunteer at had two great dane puppies when I started, they were so sweet. They were adopted fast! I would love to have a dane but my house isn't big enough for one with all the kids that are here all the time! Maybe someday, I love big dogs!

Met a new dane last night..Moose is his name..and boy is he ever a MOOSE! He is a 5 year old harlequin.. He is definatly one of the biggest danes ive seen around here..and ive seen quite a few.. he had to be around 40-41" tall and probably around 190lbs (though he could stand to lose a few lbs)..he was just GORGEOUS! I swear, he was seriously tall enough to look straight into my face, he made 130lb malakai look like a puppy..heres a pic of the monster moose

I just joined here, and a couple of you may know me from other dane forums.

Great danes ARE the best dogs in the world. I could never imagine not sharing my home and heart with one. They are a very unique breed, I know I could never be this obsessed with any other breed.
