Ah good luck.

Thank you!

O my glob! !

She's a beauty!
♡♡

You need to spam us with pictures of her growing c:

Thank you!

I may just have to do that!

Oh man, she's gorgeous! I'm super jelly of your horse dog. ; v ; I love Great Danes. Aaaaaa! <3

Thank you! I've always admired and loved the breed. I'm super happy to finally have my own. We've had giant breeds before, but not a dane. Excitement!

I would LOVE to have one. But where I live now is definitely not suited for larger dogs. Our fence is all tattered and has cut a previous dog after she got too excited to see us. So I sit here, plotting. Honestly if I could though, I'd have one of every type of dog. All the dogs. Forever. * v *

That's a sweet notion, though. There are a lot of dogs in rescues, that's why we decided against a breeder.

Yeah, 6-foot fences are must with this agency, for the times your dogs is outside for play or potty time. If our girl really wanted to, even then, I'm sure her front paws could easily reach the top of our fence.

D'aww, thanks.

blaaarrrggghhh I love Great Danes ;w;
I always wanted a Great Dane/Mastiff mix until I learned how long they lived. I don't think I could handle it :c
Really wonderful that you went through a rescue, though! Congratulations, she's purty! She looks exactly like the male GD that comes into the clinic I work at. Planning on getting her stomach tacked or anything? I knew the stomach turning was an issue with large-chested dogs, but I didn't realize they did preventative surgeries like that.
WELL HEY I'm rambling idk I like talkin' pooch. :P

A mixed breed will have better odds with longevity than a pure bred, typically. Giant breeds in general have shorter life spans.

We wanted to go through a rescue and not a breeder. I'm glad we have her, though the process was very trying. In the end it worked out, though.
We're not going to do anything with her stomach, no. Giant breeds are susceptible to bloat, but we manage it with smaller, more frequent meals (instead of two large ones) and not letting her get too riled up before/after eating. She has a pretty high raised feeder, too.

The surgery she had was for Wobblers and not anything with her stomach or bloat prevention. Wobblers affects the spine and can be very painful and detrimental if left untreated. So, in essence, she had spinal surgery and it was successful. It may not be permanent, just due to the disease, but at least she'll have a good life, pain-free for a long while. We both share spinal surgery recovery.

So happy to hear a Dane with Wobbler's getting a good home <3

Thank you! When she was a little younger she was almost lame in her back legs and they thought it may have been Wobblers with meningitis (or something similar). Because of this, she was in a bit of discomfort and stopped eating then drinking. They were going to euthanize her. Thankfully, she turned out to be a surgical candidate and they got her some surgery. Now she's a normal, giant puppy again who just wants to play and love people.

We want to adopt a dane too but its difficult to find places in WA for large breeds.

Of all the giant breeds, Danes are really the only ones capable of living in an apartment comfortably. They're such snuggly couch potatoes that it makes small living easier.

Aww so sweet! I also have a merle Great Dane. They're the sweetest animals. I'm glad she has a new great family.

Wonderful! What merle coloration, if I may ask?

There was a Dane that had Boston merle coloration, but turned out not to be a good fit with what we were looking for (wasn't good with dogs, cats, or kids).

That's too bad. Next time I get one I'd like to rescue. I wasn't able to get one that way this time because our yard isn't fenced.
I have a few pictures of her on my page is you'd like to see. She's a mantle merle. Today is actually her birthday. ^^

I checked out her adorable pictures! They're such sweethearts, ohmygosh.

Thank you. ^^ They really are. I call mine my velcro dane, because she's always following me.

She's beautiful!

Thank you!

aahhhhh, my dream dog! <3 Good luck with her, hoping she will be with you for as long time as possible <3!

She was likewise my dream dog. I'd wanted a big dane all to my husband and I, and here we are. I feel lucky to have her. Big, goofy puppy.

i hope i'll be there once too! And bravo again, as it is a rescue dog <3! this is a great gesture by you two! (well, my reescue dog come to be a beagle/labrador mix, i'm far from the great dane, but that would have not been reasonable at my level, at the moment so... )

Oh wow, she's so beautiful! Congratulations on your new family member! :D

Thank you so much, hun! She's definitely proving to be quite a handful, still in puppy phase and all. On the bright side, it's kind of forcing me to move around more and is actually helping my recovery.

Aww she is so beautiful she has the same coloration as my baby boy Thor http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14625677/

Cutie! I love the blue merle coloration. She's gray/black, a bit darker than blue merle. Sweet looking boy.

Thank you and ahh well she is still gorgeous and he is very sweet right now he is enjoying his favorite snack , A big frozen carrot that was dipped in apple juice

Congrats! That's the same rescue organization where my good friend and his family got two mastiff-mixes. They're both amazing dogs. Much happiness to you and your new family member!

Thank you, hun! It was quite the frustrating process, but in the end it all worked out. It can get tiresome for something to take over a month with caveats here and there.

Such a gorgeous puppy!!! Love Danes <33 Grats Riri :D

Thank you, Bluuee! She's such a loveboat, we adore her.
