Newest Member of the Family!!
This is Dante. He is the newest member of the KenyanSandBoa family (as well as the Cigar Asylum family through the transitive property).
Dante is a 10 week old Great Dane puppy. We have had him for 2 weeks now and he has already put on 7 pounds, with an expected adult weight of 170-180 pounds!! To say he is a handful would be a HUGE understatement. My wife and I are focusing the majority of our time training him, because anyone who knows the Mastiff breed knows that an untrained one is a bad one. I'm planning on updating this thread to track his growth until adulthood. Dante is planned to be bred with a Blue and Harlequin Dane a couple of years from now...so I'm sure there will be more puppies in our future. The first two pics are from when we got Dante at just about 8 weeks. The last two pics are from last week at 9 weeks. Look at that growth!!

Re: Newest Member of the Family!!
Great Danes are wonderful dogs, they're 150+ lb lapdogs. I still miss my old Dane. He'd walk up to you when you were on the couch and bump you with his head then step back and look at you. Then he'd do it again. Then take about two steps backwards and to the side, jump, bounce off the wall, slide right down between you and the back cushions on the couch, effectively ejecting you into the middle of the living room floor, then he'd just look at you with his eyes saying "What? I just asked you twice to move..."
I remember having to childproof all the cabinets. And that not even stopping him. He's bust right through the little plastic press-down lock things to get into a cabinet full of cans. I guess he thought he could figure out a way to open them. lol. And the big sloppy doggie kisses they try and slap you with... Best thing I ever did for my guy was get him on the diet program from Burt Ward (yes, that Burt Ward, "Robin" from the Batman TV series). Who has sunk a ton of funding into research on scientific diets and what exercise programs for Danes are best and his dogs are getting almost double the expected lifespans, my buddy made it to about 16, which was great for a dog his size (170 something). |
