My name is Alicia and I am owned by an almost 3 year old black female Great Dane. Her name is Macy Lou.

She measures in at 39″ tall and weighs in at 160lbs. She is very large for a female.

Macy Lou is a registered licensed therapy dog. She enjoys visiting nursing homes, hospitals, hospice centers, libraries, and schools. When she’s not “working,” she loves to spend time at the local dog park.

Wow, Jude, that’s terrible. I can’t imagine.

My son had a Dane when he was 10 and he was the sweetest dog. I had reluctantly let him have it from his Uncle because I was the only one working and trying to feed 3 down south on waitress tips was a feat since my son dearly loved to eat, but I managed to feed him also. Unfortunately the same uncle while I was at work somehow caught his chain on the bumper of his car and drug him for a mile before anyone beeped a horn to let him know, now how in the world couldn’t you feel something? At any rate it was a very tragic and traumatic experience for us.

Thanks for your visit and comments at my blog.

Awe what can I say…Chels is my first Dane and I love her personality… she is gentle, also a one-person dog, inquisitive… but double the cost for most things, food, collars, vets….can be timid if not socialised from young…My cousins slobbers, though Chels doesnt yet…

they are also indoor dogs (a must)… I looked at the shorter life span, but realistically we dont know how long our dogs are going to live no matter what breed, we just love them while they are with us….

And your right, walking Chels can be difficult cause everyone wants to stop you and yak…lol

As always, your posts are so great and informative! I didn’t know these huge dogs were gentle–what a nice surprise. It’s sad, though, that they have such a short life-span. What a pity.

I just LOVE these big beautiful dogs. There are a couple in agility class and watching them move is such a delight. The only reason I wouldn’t get one is because their life span is so short. Though one of the moms of an Agility Dane is 8 or 9 years old and going strong.

They’re such beauties. I definitely think Ace has some Dane in him. And don’t you dare ever say again that he doesn’t isn’t worth anything. I’d steal him!!! *giggle*

I am a huge fan of Danes, especially Harlequins! I haven’t been around them that much (only when I was working in a vet hospital), but the ones I have knows are quite sweet.

I’ve never had a big dog, but if I do, I’d consider a Dane. The short life span is a deterrant for me – so few years!

Looks to me like Ace might just have some Dane in his background too!

We had a friend with a Dane and she was the best dog! I was only a kid and her sweet demeanor let me climb on her like she was a horse!

After seeing your last post (the picture) I was shocked.. I thought to myself I didnt know Ace was a dane. There absolutely is quite a lot of dane in that boy’s woodpile!
