ALL DOGS should be CRATED when left alone. It is frankly irresponsible to leave a Dane or any dog unattended, loose in a house for any length of time. Any number of things can happen, even to a trustworthy and well trained dog. The best crate size for a male Dane is 28 inches wide by 36 inches tall by 48 inches long.

They DO require a place to "let loose" and run a couple times a day, and should be hand walked at least 4 times a day. Again, living in a condo, we have no fenced in area for loose running. We make do by going to a local baseball field and blocking off the exits, then letting them yee-haw around the field, and play frisbee with them. PLEASE be a responsible dog owner and bring plastic bags for poop clean-up. I know that little-leagers hate to step in dog poop while catching a pop fly!

Great Danes should be kept indoors. This is both because of their short coat and their disposition. They are FAMILY dogs and need lots of human companionship. A Dane kept primarily out of doors will eventually die of loneliness or illness. They will become, destructive, aggressive and depressed if denied "household" status. Also, many experimental laboratories like to buy dogs from "neighborhood crawlers".

The AKC Standard for Danes states: "The male shall not be less than 30 inches at the shoulders, but it is preferable that he be 32 inches or more, providing he is well proportioned to his height. The female shall not be less than 28 inches at the shoulders, but it is preferable that she be 30 inches or more, providing she is well proportioned to her height.

Danes are INSIDE dogs!! This is because their coat is not designed to withstand the summer heat and the cold chill. All of my dogs remain in a temperature-controlled environment and are exercised several times a day outside (supervised).  When your Dane shows signs of stress (heavy panting, dark red tongue, shivering, constant whining, cold ear tips), he should be brought inside!  "Hey, but they're dogs, right... they used to live in the wild.

Great Danes are susceptible to a large number of diseases and illnesses suspected to be genetic in origin. In fact, just as there are no perfect humans, there are no perfect Great Danes. ALL Danes carry defective genes. This is true of any dog, be it a purebred dog, a mixed breed dog, or a wild dog.

No, at least not in Persians. PKD positives have been found in virtually all major lines of Persians. However, it is at least possible that a few lines with very small gene pools, particularly if they are not descended from the hand-full of pre-potent cats upon which many of today's Persians owe their lineage, may not have PKD in those lines. However, it is also important to note that virtually all major lines of Persians have PKD negative cats too.

A. People with fever and cough will be strongly encouraged to stay at home. A phone triage system will be established to evaluate whether a patient needs more advanced care. Forced isolation could be used in the case of a contagious individual who purposefully put others at risk, but it will truly be in everyone's best interest to minimize their own exposure, and once sick to avoid spreading the illness to friends, co-workers, neighbors, and other islanders.

Physical Therapy may get you out of bed on day of surgery, depending on your physician and the time of day you return to your room. Early the next morning, you will be up and dressed to start the day’s activity. Usually, patients are up and walking with a walker or crutches in the morning.

Tempest offers a complete line of confined space and street-side utility blowers in the Sentry Series line. More information on these can be found by clicking on the “Blowers” link on the main page of our web site.

Hardly! Being at sea gives you a feeling of total freedom that no land-based resort can offer. There's plenty of room. And it will probably take you two or three days just to discover everything that's on board. Plus, you get the added adventure of exploring many exciting ports of call. Cruise ships are floating resorts with all the choices fine resorts have to offer.

A chain link fence with black or green vinyl fabric and a black frame is generally considered the best solution that will least obstruct your view. BACK TO TOP

Again it will depend upon the cruise ship you choose but there's usually plenty of space. And with the vastness of the sea around you, it's hard to imagine feeling closed in. Plus, there will be days spent off the ship when in port. Do remember that cruise ship cabins are on the small side and if you suffer from claustrophobia, make sure to book an outside cabin, or — even better — one with a balcony. It is important to choose the right accommodation.

MPTN-VR can provide guidance, advocacy and planning related to setting up an "In Home" business plan.

It is recommended that all Blue Flag beaches have disabled facilities, granting them access to the beach, surrounding buildings, and the toilets. At least one beach in every authority must have such facilities. Access to the beach should be facilitated by access ramps adapted to users with various disabilities. If possible, access to the water is recommended. Toilet facilities should be designed for wheelchair and other disabled users.

Yes...BUT... Great Danes don't really know how big they are, even when they've reached maturity. One of their endearing traits is to sit on their family's lap. For a small child, this can be scary or painful.  Additionally, because they are so tall, the smaller eye-level children may get whacked in the face by the Dane's exhuberant tail.  These "whips" commonly leave bruises on adults, so great care must be taken when raising children and Danes together.

Rather than shedding constantly, Great Danes "blow their coat" a few times a year, usually when there is a change in weather. They still have loose hairs falling from their bodies throughout the year, but typically you won't have a handful of hair sticking to your palms when you pet them. When they blow their coat, it's helpful to purchase a ZOOM GROOM and massage their bodies until their coat is a beautiful "honey" fawn again.

It is important to remember that ALL dogs have genetic problems. Purebred dogs, mixed-breed dogs, wild dogs; none are immune from genetic disorders. The same is true for humans and of all complex living organisms. Dog breeds that appear to be free of genetic problems are probably either not numerous enough for a pattern to have emerged, or they are not being screened for genetic problems in the first place.

It is a military punishment (see above). It is a lot more than just being allowed to swan around the barracks doing nothing. On the hour, every hour from 0600 (6am) until 2200 (10pm) you have to report to the RSM in full kit. Usually he will use you to help train young NCOs or junior Officers on parade ground drill. By that I mean the soldier/s on CB will be the squad given orders by the trainee. It is hot, tiring and boring. It is to be avoided if at all possible.
