Any links on this web site are provided for general information purposes only. They are not intended to replace your regular veterinarian's advice, diagnosis or treatment. We are not responsible for the opinions or content presented by linked web sites.

Also, just because I have a topic listed on this page does not necessarily mean we have experienced it.  I just decided to list topics that can be or are common in Danes as well as other breeds of dogs as well as topics of general interest.

 


 

Have questions "swirling" around in your mind?  Well, below are links to pages that I hope will be helpful to you.  Each link opens a "new window" so just click the "close" button when finished reading.  You can also click here to see if you should get a Dane.

If you're considering getting a Dane, please make sure of your commitment.  They aren't called gentle GIANTS for nothing.  It's like living with another human being... only better because a Dane will forgive you a lot quicker when you scold them for doing something wrong.  This breed of dog is so loving and willing to please, you'll rarely find a Dane owner with just one so beware,  they are addicting!
