I am just amazed with Cyprus' colors. I noticed that all of you are really good at figuring out what colors the danes are considered. Can anyone help with Moose's color? I will try to post some of the better pictures showing his colors.
-
I'm gonna try to get some better pictures.
-
His spots are brindle right? I know is he is a merle LOL Maybe a brindle merle ??? All I know is he is adorable :)
-
He looks fawn merle to me, but I'll hold off until you get a better pic. He is just so stinkin' cute!!!!
-
Here are some better pictures.I hope. He always wants to be right on top of me so its hard for me to take the pictures. He is 16 weeks old. And is definately a mamma's boy.
-
His mom was a merle and his dad was a fawniquin. When we got him I was told he was a silver merle, but as he gets older there is a LOT of brown coming out in him. I love him to death no matter what color he is. Just curious as to a name for the color.
-
OK, I'm changing my vote to Blue Brindle. It looks like the fawn on his sides is a bit 'stripy'?
Can I have your permission to post his pic on another board and ask their opinions?

Without a few generations pedigree it would be almost impossible to decipher this one, WOW!
-
Yes he has a lot of stripy fawn on his sides. but his base coat is definately a blue color.
Yes you may post his picture on another board to get more opinions. Thanks :)

I'm clueless on the colors of Danes but I can say that it is a really cool mixture! He's adorable! I love his striped look.
-
Wow, was that an accidental breeding or did someone do it on purpose? A fawnequin is a mismark and shouldn't be bred... so it seems you have a second generation mismark!
I'm not saying he isn't gorgeous! I have a fawnequin myself who I consider to be the most beautiful Great Dane on the planet. ;) ::)
Your dog is very unique and special and I bet there is not a description of colour anywhere that could describe him. He's a motley!!! :D ;D
-
He's very handsome, no matter what "color" he is considered to be.
-
I am not sure if this is correct, but shouldn't merles not be bred either?
Yeah, merles aren't supposed to be bred, the merle gene carries some weird problems sometimes. Here's a quote I found about breeding merles:
"Expect small litters and don't be surprised by a variety of problems if you choose to use this sort of breeding-including others feeling uncomfortable and wondering about your standards and intentions. Many breeders with stud dogs refuse to service merles."
(edited for spelling)

Princessnmi please don't think I am trying to insult you or your dog!
Moose is wonderful! He's beautiful no matter what! :-*
-
Oh my goodness, he is a little cutie!
have no clue on the coloring. Maybe more color will come in as he gets older and you will be able to tell?.....since you said he's gotten more fawn marks than he did originally.
-
Moose is a Hodge-Podge! He is beautiful and I can't wait to see what he looks like as he gets bigger. :-*
-
I'd call him gorgeous.... ;D but if you want technical then he is a blue brindle merle. Very cute and I'd love to see more pix of him!!

Thanks guys, he was from an accidental breeding, but I had been wanting a male merle great dane and my husband found him for me and I got him for my birthday back in Feb. He has the BEST personality and is so calm and laid back. He is GREAT with kids. I raised him for 5 weeks in my mom's daycare. He is very gentle with them. I gave them all baths today so I'll have to try and get some new pictures. Our backyard is ALL dirt thanks to Arizona desert. So instead of dogs I often have dust bunnies ::) Well Moose goes to the vet today. SO i'll let you guys know his weight and stuff when I get home

I can't wait to hear Moose's stats!
