Well I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one! Thanks also for sharing!

God...I watched the whole thing and it made me cry. The puppies were probably the worst...they were so trusting. I'm going to show some people. Just awful....

Great Dane rescue came and picked her up. Hopefully, she will find her forever home soon!

I don't mean to sound strange to you all but I really need to get this story off my chest. I just hope, as dog lovers, you will be open minded to the story I am about to tell you.

When I was in second grade,  my family’s rescued great dane appeared to me. I was sitting in class, when I saw my great dane leap through the classroom window, breaking the glass. She and the flying glass were blurry and transparent(I could see the perfectly unharmed window through them.) While she was leaping I heard her (in the weirdest way,through my head I guess...) say “I will die so treat me well” and she was gone...just like that. She didn't seem sad... and the light was bright around her which actually gave a rather joyful feeling. What she said was very simple...the message clear. By her jumping through the window...it almost made me happy...becaus e she seemed in good health. (She usually had a limp that the vet said was 'old age'...she wouldn't normally be jumping anywhere.) When I got home, I ran straight away to my mom and asked if 'Baby' was alive (I expected her to already be dead) but my mom said she was fine. I told my mom what I saw but she didn’t believe me. She actually kind of laughed at what I said she said. A few weeks later, we found out she had bone cancer in her leg (the one the vet said was nothing) and it was incurable.  Like she had asked, we treated her as best as we possibly could before having her humanly put to sleep. I will always remember her and what she had said to me that day; even though I was young I understood the deeper meaning of it all. I can't say I'm a really spiritual person but I have no doubt that it was her spirit that came to me. I don't mean to make people think I am weird but my mom was the only person I ever told and she hardly listened so...I needed to share. Am I the only one with such an experience?

Great Dane Discussions / Re: Can you trust your danes off leash??

I live in the country and across our dirt road is the National Forest. So, I let Tara off the leash and she is very good. However, if we were in the city, she would ALWAYS be on the leash. She listens well but it isn't worth the chance of an accident. In comparison to other breeds I have owned, Great Danes are among the best at behaving well.

At my work, a female merle great dane was brought in as a stray. The owner was finally found and he picked her up, only to return her within a couple of days. So, she's been in the kennel for at least a month and REALLY needs to find a new home. She weighs 120 lbs (she is skinny right now...she needs some tlc) with natural ears. She isn't spayed and will be 2 years old in November.Turns out she's Tara's sister!  However, as much as I would like to, I can't have her. No one seems to have room for such a big dog! She is really smart and listens very well. I don't have any pictures of her but  Tara is her sister and they look very much alike so you can look at her for comparison. If you have anymore questions, please ask. We are located in Arizona.

LOL No, this picture isn't real...sadly. It was done on adobe photoshop...I saw it on another website by the creator. Pretty cool though! I couldn't find the site that had it but here are some other examples to show how real that stuff can really look! (Sorry if I put up too many!)

He looks really sweet...and happy!

Aw! How could someone just leave those two adorable dogs!? I'm glad you're helping the dane but what is happening to the pekingnese? Poor babies...

55
LOL. I sent the 'breeder' a link to this conversation. This is what they said:


"Thanks for letting me know what some people think of my puppies. I know not all people agree with what I am doing but some do. We really need both kinds. If you have any more stuff like that you may send it direct to me at pup3090@aol.com. :-)
Wallace"

Does he think I'm on HIS side?! Hm...well I'm not!

56
That's very, very caring of him to do such a thing with his money. I'm so glad that there are people like that!

Hi! I'm in the Phoenix area too and I got my dobie at the shelter. If you get a puppy, meeting both parents is a MUST! I made the mistake of not seeing the parents twice and I will NEVER do it again. My first I bought just carelessly and when she turned a year,despite constant socialization, she became fearful and dangerouse. Our second, I got because the 'breeder' was going to put her down.(She had parvo) At a year, despite all our best efforts, she turned EXTREAMLY aggresive and attacked everyone in the house. These are the only dogs I have had to EVER have any behavioral problems in my whole life. (And that is ALOT of dogs...) My neighbor had one that, at a year, attacked his wife for no apparent reason. I don't mean to tell you these stories to scare you out of dobies, I'm doing it so you PLEASE won't buy a pup without meeting (and LOVING) both parents. Just be careful when you choose them out. My doberman now was a rescue and is EVERYTHING I could ever ask for. He is soooo sweet and just a goof sometimes but also fearless, extreamly smart and devoted. I love dobermans, they are my favorite breed. I just can't emphasize how important is to get a 'good' one. A good dobie is a GREAT dog! I'm sure you could go out and get a puppy from just some backyard breeder and it would grow up to be fine BUT it isn't worth the risk...ESPECIA LLY when there are some really great rescue dogs out there! You sound like great dog owners and I'm sure you'll get a wonderful dog! Good Luck and welcome to the wonderful world of dobies! Keep us posted.

Here are some rescues in AZ (incase you haven't already checked them out)
