New to BPO
« on: February 22, 2006, 01:57:45 pm »
Hello all,
I have been reading all your posts for a couple months and, as my family and I get closer to purchasing our first dane I thought I would join BPO. What a great group you seem to have!

I am not too computer savvy so please bear with me :-\ as I go.

Anyways, we are looking for a dane starting in the fall of this year. We are in love with the merles and harlequins! Can anyone recommend a breeder in New England or even steer me away from any less-desirables in the area?

I would greatly appreciate ANY advice as this is a big and VERY exciting decision and I want to go about it the right way.

In the meantime, I will continue to drool over all the beautiful fur babies here!!!!!

Thanks so much!

Welcome!!!
I'm sure our New England members will be glad to help you find your way to a beautiful Great Dane! ;D
I am Rebekah and I have 6 mutts and one Dane.
Too bad you are not closer to TN because I have been fostering a real sweet merle dane for a local rescue group.  :)

Here's my girl Leeloo!

Hi Rebekah!
Thank you for the post. Leeloo is too beautiful, as are your other babies. I have been reading your posts about Nigel recently, I truly hope it all works out for you.

Rescue is certainly something we will consider, I do want to wait until after the summer to get my Dane as we have a couple trips planned that would not be pet-friendly and cannot be changed. I have requested an application from the Great Dane rescue in our area, regardless.

And, we are going to fence in the yard in the meantime. Thanks again!
Cara :)
