Big Paws Only Dog Forums

Been reading threads, but just wanted some general info from owners about this breed. Any kind of info would be great. Also wondering about food- is there certain types or protein/fat levels recommended? I know a bit , but love to learn from those who have experienced the breed.
Thanks

I can understand a letter from vet or friend reference, but a letter from your boss? maybe she wants to see if you can afford the dog- wierd. Has she given you any references- of course she may only give you the good ones, but at least you can talk to others before you decide. Do you have to commit to anything before she shows you the ofa papers? Does she show her dogs? Not all breeders are good that are AKC or CKC(canadian).

Thanks for the great info- I will do some searching and who knows eventually end up with a rescue or a puupy. you never know! I will keep reading and learn what I can. I currently have a dane so I can do the drool

I am going to look into some more training- Not sure what the next step will be though since where I live the only training within reasonable driving distance is probably not going to be able to address this situation.
My friend has known Jake since he was a baby, so I am not sure how he is going to react. We are just going to have to watch this and address it when she gets here.
Weirdo neighbor had me really irritated, so I totally undersand that vibe. Incident 3 weeks ago totally took me by surprise, but he was not at home and so maybe he was nervous or anxious.
I also think that I under estimated his size and power until recently and I now know to watch him closer when anyone comes to the gate.
Jake is the 1st Dane and he is a learning experience. I do know that he will bite with out thinking twice and that scares me. I also know that he has a tendancy to put himself between me and other people, so I am working on that as well when someone comes over.
I am sure that he thinks that he is doing the right thing. I just want to be able to work with him on when the right time for the protectiveness is necessary.

I know exactly how you feel. My dane George is being like that too. Except he is being more aggressive towards kids and certain adults that come over to the house. He lunges and growls, very disturbing.I have 2 kids and he is fine with them, but since this has happened I don't leave them alone in the same room. We  had test done, havn't found anything so I am going to get the vet to do a thyroid test cause she didn't with the initial test. So here I am hoping this can be helped. He also has to be put away when kids and certain people come over.we were looking to add another dog to the family, but will keep looking till we can figure this out.

Hi new here, was wondering if anyone had any good info on rescues . I live in Regina,Saskatchewan Canada. I have had Danes in the past, currently have 1 black male. and we have been thinking about the Newfs.    I think we may be interested in starting with a rescue.
if anyone has any info on rescues and the breed- that would be great!
