General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Marmaduke Movie - Help Stop a Great Dane Disaster
« on: June 09, 2010, 01:07:27 pm »
Hi everyone,

I read this blog post http://www.pups-seeking-homes.com/blog/home/entry/appeal_great_dane_marmaduke and wanted to share it with you guys. It is written by someone who knows Danes and wants to stop (or at least educate) people before they rush out and buy a Great Dane puppy after watching the new film Marmaduke.

I thought I would post the blog link here so other Big Dog owners could promote or digg or facebook it. If it gets enough attention maybe it'll help what happened after the movie Beethoven...

I know the animal shelters are overflowing already and I'd hate for more Danes to end up having to be rehomed because of people not doing the proper research before buyign a puppy

Great Dane Discussions / Re: How cuddly are Great Danes? Do they like to sleep with you in bed?

Everyone,

This has just been awesome stuff.  We very much appreciate the volume of responses(and welcome many more!), it has been very informative and helpful.

We haven't made a final decision yet as to breed, but we definitely like the idea of the rescue route first and having them 'fit' my wife's affectionate requirement :)  We really appreciate that suggestion; before this post we hadn't even considered that route.

Thanks again for everything; we definitely miss our little KC Spaniel, and are very much looking forward to welcoming a new member to our family who will again add that extra warmth to our home

Bob :)

Bulldog Discussion & Pictures / How cuddly are Bulldogs? Do they like to sleep with you in bed?
« on: November 29, 2006, 08:26:08 pm »
Hi,

We were thinking of getting an English Bulldog, but before we do, we were hoping to find out how much they love to cuddle?  I know, unusual question but my wife is looking for a dog that loves to cuddle; that wants to take naps with her / us and wants to sleep in our bed at night.  My wife's preference is that if the dog can choose one place to rest, sit or lie down it would be on top of her / as close as possible and always seeks you out.

We had a King Charles Spaniel(which sadly has recently passed) that was supposed to be 'cuddly' like she wanted, but sadly it was not.  When my wife would cuddle with it on the couch while watching tv, it would start panting very very loudly to let her know that it preferred to sleep elsewhere.  It would then happily trod off to the guest bedroom for a quiet undisturbed nap and not reappear til dinner :)

Anyways, we meaning she :) didn't want that same kind of personality, so we were just wondering how cuddly you think the bulldog is, and whether they like to take naps and sleep in bed with you, and cuddle w/t you on the couch while watching the tube.

I posted this originally to the Newfoundland board, but after finding out that Newfoundlands aren't the most cuddly(they get too hot) and prefer to sleep at the foot of your bed rather than in it, her new favorite is now potentially Great Danes or a Bulldog! :) Thanks for your help, Bob
