-

My youngest daughter tells us Zeus is shrinking, or "why is he going back to a puppy" She thinks Zeus is small and tells my husband to just pick him up LOL It would be a miracle if I could get all 3 in a picture like that. Diesel would be too busy trying to eat them to pose for the camera ::) Mr. Grey will be 8 mos in a few days [Time surely flies]

lol...... I know that feeling, Jennifer who has grown up around big dogs, or should I say giant dogs, always asks people " can I pet the puppy" they say it is not a puppy and she is like okay just small, they look strange because having a lab. or german shepherd or whatnot they think they have a big dog and a little girl should think so too hehe
Mr. has really grown tall, have you checked his weight and how tall he is lately, he is going to be such a big boy :D

I got a new "family" picture just for you LOL This is the best that I can do without all 3 going bonkers wanting to play. Mr. Grey is 34 in but I have no clue on his weight. Maybe I should have a guessing game on his weight LOL
-
awwwwwww you are sooooo sweet :D there are the three boys, and look what a little mojo....... My daughter Malin is bugging me and want a little dog, and she has mentioned chi. more than once. I keep telling her I would be afraid that my big puppies would break 14 bones in its body just by looking at it lol..... How is it going in your house, how heavy is the chi. and do you ever have to be worried about him?
And Mr. Greys weight, hmmmm a wild guess about 90 or maybe 100 lbs. If you have a PetSmart close, they usually have their scales so you can use them, I sometimes bring my dogs up on them just to see how much they are. Especially when you are done with the puppy shots and dont go to the vet. as often anymore
thanks for the pic, and I will make sure Malin wont see it hehe, she will totally tell me how wrong I am when I say it is hard to have giants and minis together ;D

You have a great looking trio there. I have just one question... How is it that Diesel is not flat as a pancake with your other 2 big guys around?.........lol
-
Diesel hides when the big dogs start to play rough LOL Both Zeus and Grey were raised with Diesel around, so they are really good with him. When I go to let them inside, after we are done playing, I open the door and Zeus and Grey are running, full speed, at the door. But when they get closer and see Diesel there, they will stop and let Diesel in first. I think they all learn how to coexist with each other LOL Zeus is really calm with him and lays on the ground to play with him. But Grey still being a puppy, a very big puppy, I have to keep a close eye on him. He hasnt hurt him yet and is usually very good with him. But I am not taking any chances. The sad thing is Diesel gets most of his injuries from me :-[ I always seem to step on the poor little guy.
-
Great pictures! Mr. Grey sure is getting to be one handsome full grown feller! I love the way the first pic is too cuz it looks like he is standing over Zeus. :)
-
I'm going to take a guess and say that Mr. Grey weighs about 120. He's taller than Gunther, even though he's younger, so he should weigh more, right?
-
Great pics..Willow could be the female version of Mr Grey....I can't get my 3 guys in one pic. Last night I was so excited because Irie (my female pom) actually went over and laid next to Willow... Usually the poms are just growling and snapping at poor Willow...And she just wants to play...

Not nessecarily. Depending on the type of Dane, they grow differently. Sanity is now 140, but only 32 inches and still growing. He has a lot of Euro Dane in him. He doesn't have an ounce of fat (In fact I can still see all his ribs :-\) but is covered in muscle. He never got the gangly all legs look like Grey has. Even his buddy Tenchi, who's almost a foot taller than him weighs the same as him or slightly less. The American dogs are more racy, tall and lean as opposed to the stockier Euro dogs.

Willow has some Euro dane as well..the sire is from poland..very muscular... I like them like that
-
Oh, I know that height doesn't always make a difference. I was just being silly.
At a dog show I went to there was a 6 mo old dane that was VERY stocky and built. He already weighed more than Gunther and was younger by 2 months.
I guessed 120 b/c Gunther is 113 now and I figured they always weigh more than you think when they're skinny.
-
I don't think Willow weighs as much as she should..but she looks good..not to skinny and not to fat... She goes to the vet this week.. so we will know then how much.... She was about 25lbs at 12 weeks old.
-
Tis better for a Dane pup to be skinny than fat. There were times I wouldn't take Sanity out because he looked so anorexic.
-
my mom told me I wasn't feeding her enough cause she looked so skinny...cours e her dogs are huge and love to eat mcdonalds
-
Every single one of my dogs is fit. But we've had people call animal control on us because they say we're neglecting them and not feeding them. Of course all these people have obese dogs. That's the thing. Just like people, so many of of today's pets are overweight. People are so used to seeing fat dogs that they think fit ones are too skinny, that fat dogs are fit and that morbidly obese dogs are just a little chunky.
Plus, I don't know what kind of dogs your mom has, but different dogs have different body typs and so they look more thin/fat than they're supposed to when compared the breed you're used to. Like Araby and Sanity are both deep chested dogs, with tiny little waists. When compared to Hobo, who's a working barrel chested dog, he looks fat. In fact we call him Chunks, even though he's really not. Put a muscular Rottie next to a muscular natural eared Dobie and 80% of the population would say that one is fat and one is thin.

my mom has a lab, standard poodle, a golden, and 2 very fiesty small terriers... I would say that the lab and the golden are fat. way too many big macs I guess...
-
Mr. Grey is very thin, I still gets look when I take him in public. I guess he is at the ugly stage of his growth cause he is nothing but legs. But he has just recently started looking better, not that starved look anymore. If I go back 3 generations in his pedigree he has a lot of euro bloodlines. I really need to get him weighed cause I am very curious of his weight, amybe next weekend Ill taake him to petsmart to be weighed.
