quot;The Great Dane's personality is the quality that most find so appealing. The Dane is a "people dog" - a sensitive and affectionate companion. They can be elegant and dignified one moment, and then playful and silly the next." (Georgia Alyse Thomas) Danes are "leaners" and "blockers". This means that if there's a free lap, or an available foot, you'll usually find the resident Dane upon it.

Puppy Acne (what he's got) is usually related to what, how or where he eats. Feed ONLY in metal or porcelain dishes. CLEAN the dishes thoroughly with soap and water, and rinse well, EVERY time he eats (no free feeding). WASH his face with warm water EVERY time AFTER he eats, then DRY with a CLEAN terry towel/facecloth. PAT on a palmful of Gold Bond powder. Also put about a Tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in his bowl of water every time you fill the dish.

The Great Dane was developed to hunt the wild boar of Europe (and hence the cropped ears typically seen on Danes in the US). The Germans are generally credited with developing the Dane as it exists today. It is generally accepted that the Great Dane is descended from some type of mastiff and wolfhound. The Great Dane breed is at least 400 years old but there are drawings of a dog which resemble the Great Dane on Egyptian monuments of 3000 B.C.

Great Danes are easy to train. REALLY! Obedience and control should never be an issue as long as you are willing to attend obedience training classes for at LEAST the first year of your dogs life (this goes for ALL breeds). Obedience classes are GREAT for socializing your dog, and for teaching YOU the way his mind works. This is a MUST with Danes, who though very sweet and compliant dogs, at times can be very pushy and dominant.

Spaying a female (removing the ovaries and uterus) or neutering a male (removing the testicles) are veterinary procedures performed with the same general anesthesia used in human medicine.

Top 'o the morning to ya! Today's Saint Patty's day which means its time for getting drunk, getting in fights, and breaking ceasefire agreements with the British. Now, I'm half Irish myself, and, as such, am quite a jovial, dangerous fellow. Others around you may be Irish, too. So what do you do if you encounter an Irishman? Well, I sent my crack research staff to find out all they can about the Irish. Ireland was founded in 6,000 B.C.

Place spoon in glass. Heat glass by pouring in warm water. When glass is warm, pour out the water. Leave spoon in glass.

Be careful not to stir after the cream has been added. The cream should form a foamy layer about 1 cm (or half an inch) thick on top of the black coffee.

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".

Use the Feeding Guidelines on the back of the bag for correct amounts of pet food mix, meat and water to use. Measurements are based on one meal per day.

And remember, the amounts and instructions are guidelines only. Every animal is different so you may need to adjust for individual needs.
