The biggest Dalmation EVER!

[mstplumeria]

This is too cute not to share! We were driving to the pet store a few weeks ago, and the kids and my husband spotted a big dog in the back of a pickup truck. My hubby says look kids at the big "fire dog" (Dalmation in adult language.) I played along, oh wow, that is at least twice the size of any Dalmation I have ever seen! I got that camera out and took a couple of pictures. I let my hubby go on and on about how big this Dalmation is and that he wouldn't mind having one that size sometime. After he gets real close, I told him it was a harlequin GREAT DANE!!!! The kids laughed at him the rest of the way to the store!

Too cute!

I was at an auction at a farm many years ago where someone had a harlequin great dane running loose. The first time it came trotting through the crowd someone yelled "there's a calf loose!" It was the joke of the day.

Aren't they beautiful?

They used to be popular here in NYC, but people began to get some common sense. Can you imagine trying to have a Great Dane in an apartment? I haven't seen one in a long time. Thanks for the pictures.

They are beautiful and so regal.

Beautiful dog!!!! But I think I'll stick to Yorkies!! ;) I had trouble controlling a lab, I can't imagine a great dane. They must be incredibly strong.

My hubby wants a great dane more than anything! I can't wait until I can surprise him with one some day. :) Thanks for sharing the pictures Missy.

Haha, funny story. Those are beautiful dogs but they eat SO much! After having a yorkie, that takes a long time to go thru a bag a food it would be quite a shoker to have to feed a dog massive amounts!

I had a Great Dane who lived to be 12 years old. She was a beautiful dog, and without a doubt the smartest dog I have ever owned.
I also had a Great Dane / Lab mix who looked all Great Dane.

This breed is wonderful! My all time favorite breed is the Dane. Very loyal, intelligent, great judge of character. My dogs are house companions, so at one time I did have my Dane in an apartment!

You would be surprised at the amount of food they eat. Not much really when you look at their size. I have a small Lab now who eats as much as the Dane did.

They think they are lap dogs. Alana used to back up and sit on my lap. Front feet on the floor, sitting there like a person! Or sat on the couch same way.. I really miss her. Great dog.

You can't go wrong having a Dane. I recommend the breed highly.

We have a 150 lb Mastiff too, so we are used to going through 20 lbs or more of dog food a week!

That's my dream dog, I wanna have one of those one day!!

SO CUTE!!!!!!!! The breeder I got my yorkies from also breeds Great Danes. I tell people that my yorkies were born next to Great Danes so they think they are big like them. They really do!

LOL! How funny! :) Marty was born in a house with one Great Dane so I guess I could say the same thing about him. hehe
