!!Great Danes!!

[mugsy]

I have always wanted to get a Great Dane but have heard they only have lif spans of 8 - 10 years?

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
