I kept a friend’s Mali while he and his family went on vacation. When he was socializing Bowzer her bonded to me like a second Papa so I’m about the only non-family member that keeps him happy ... he won’t eat if boarded along with other depressive ways. When he arrived he and my Labs (5 and 7 years old) went wild running and playing ... they were puppies again. By the 3rd day the Labs had dropped a couple pounds but couldn’t get their regular hourly naps in because Bowzer would not allow it ... they had to play. No joke ... they’d go hide from him so they could rest and he’d go around looking for them and whining and if he didn’t find them he’d come to me an yap until I “entertained” him. We loved having him but by the end of the week it was nice to see Jake pull in to get Bowzer. When they got ready to leave I swear my 2 Labs (even more lighter now) said bye and then they looked at each other and went into the den to rest ... until dinner and then I had to call them and even then they were slow coming in. I also was kinda glad to see Bowzer’s visit end ... he was a high maintenance guest but welcome back anytime for shorter visits.I know, I am excited. She is learning really well. I have one of the best trainers around and he started working with her today too.
I almost bought a Mali, but the Dutch was my first choice due to the coat.

Dutch Shepherds are suppose to be just slightly chiller than Malis so buckle up cause your gonna be active.

Good on ya! Looks like maybe a Rosco?? He will tell you his name in due time. I had two so far that had to tell me their names. Our current old fella came with his name, but he is the only one so far.I picked up a new boy last week. I was checking out animal control and he didn't start jumping around and yapping like most dogs there do. He didn't even get up until I addressed him and it seemed that he had about given up on being rescued after 2 months there.
He still hasn't told me his name though.
He's a big un.

Have you had Danes before? They can have literal growing pains that you shouldn't get too alarmed by. They grow so fast that their bones can hurt for a while so a sudden limp can happen but that's to be expected.View attachment 170086
Introducing Peter Lee Benjamin. 9 weeks and 30 1/2lbs.
Yes, I have had one, and I fell in love with the gentle giant personality .And I do know of this.Have you had Danes before? They can have literal growing pains that you shouldn't get too alarmed by. They grow so fast that their bones can hurt for a while so a sudden limp can happen but that's to be expected.
What’s his call sign going to be? Benny ... Petey ... Dammit?
And Dammit ... for those who have never stepped in a Dane “landmine” just think about the warm smelly idea.
She is a beauty!!!We picked up Elsa(my daughter named her). She is a 13 week old Dutch Shepherd.
