Well I stumbled upon this board and am so glad...I've been trying to find a place where people have big dogs and I could find answers to things pertaining to them.
Perdi is a 'rescue' of sorts....the owners didn't want to deal with her issues due to a lot of changes in her life from their doing so they gave her away....I am glad to have her and we are working through these things as I find them out..why can't people be honest as I asked them to be..... ???
Oh well. She was not well socialized, she is scared to go potty outside if it is raining (even if it's sprinkling), she likes to chew the trim on the door if we leave her too long...we are working on crate training, but it is slow going...she's scared of it too. She wasn't leash trained properly, but atleast doesn't pull me around....we have a personal trainer coming and she's also attending socialization classes each Saturday....

Welcome to BPO! My name is Ang and I have Sanity, a Dane I've had since he was 12 weeks old and he was neglected and abused. Even now we have issues with his shyness and I never think that he will be an over the top friendly Dane that's so typical with the breed. If you have any questions or need to vent frustrations feel free to click on my name at the top and send me a personal message!

Welcome! My name is Marsi and I have Ranger, the Saint Bernard mix in my avatar and Gwen, a German Shepherd mix.
Perdi is a pretty name - is it short for anything? Perdita, maybe?
-
Yep...Perdita is her full name, but we just call her Perdi. When I adopt dogs (which all of mine have been, unless they were found as strays), I like to change their names...give them a completely new start. I think it really helps to disassociate their past life completely with their new one...I'm not sure why the pic on my original post isn't showing...she's a very pretty darker mearle...

Welcome aboard! Perdi is very pretty! I love her color! I'm April and I have an 8 month old great pyrenees named Kiah (pronounced ki-ya).

Welcome and congratulation s on your beautiful dane!

Hello and welcome!!
My name is Chris, and I have a husky/shep mix Keiko, and a great dane Gunther.
Gunther does not like to go out in the rain either, and he's been that way since I got him at 11 wks. In fact, even if the ground has dew, he refuses to go out unless I leash him. And even then it takes him forever to finish.
Good luck with your new addition. She is very pretty.

See? Here it is!

Hi and welcome to BPO! I'm Stacy, and I'm new as well. Perdi is very pretty. Everyone here is very nice and very helpful, they've already helped me out a few times. Maggie is our first Dane, and so of course we have a lot of questions. Good luck, and enjoy. :)
