brlesq1 Posted January 1, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I have a Great Dane. She's nowhere near as big as Freddy, but hey, she's still a Dane. They are some of the best dogs on the planet. Sure, they eat a lot, but what they give you in return is priceless. Not to mention scaring the h*** out of anyone who might be thinking of robbing your house... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive always been an American Bulldog guy but as my current male ages I don't know if I can bring myself to go through two years of puppyhood again. Hes the best dog ive ever met but those two years are just hell. Are danes the same way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was pretty smart, so she caught on really fast that she was 1) supposed to go outside, and 2) to let me know. She wasn't a chewer, so my house remained intact. But I didn't want to go through puppyhood again, so I rescued a Dane. My current one, Daisy, I got when she was three, just out of puppyhood. So I didn't have to go through all that. If you're really into American Bulldogs, check on the web to see if they have a rescue organization. I'm sure they do.

Having young kids ive always gone the puerbred puppy route but now that theyre grown the rescue thing is a really good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are always so many that need forever homes. Most organizations aren't just "give 'im a dog," either. To get Daisy, I had to have a thorough phone interview. Then I had a home inspection (with another interview). Then they sent me a list of dogs, and I had to pick six. I did so, and five they eliminated because they felt the temperament wasn't right for me (based on my interviews and my initial application). Finally, with Daisy the only dog left on the list, I had to drive up to her foster mom's and have a third interview, and to see how Daisy would react to me. All went well, and I signed the contract (I can't sell Daisy or give her away, etc.) and then I paid the adoption fee, which was far, far less than what I would have paid for a puppy, or even a grown dog. All of this is to say definitely check out the rescue route. I don't think you'll be sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
