This is London we are like 90% sure she’s a Great Dane but she’s a rescue so we can’t be for sure unless we DNA test her. This was when we first got her at the beginning of August.  These are more recent pictures. She’s 5 1/2 months old and about 65 lbs lol  first day of puppy school First long car trip to big bear.  Enjoying the cabin in big bear  Waiting for mom to come back with a coffee during our walk.

mattfl posted:100% Dane. Enjoy your new horse lol. Watson went from 51 pounds at 4 months to 80 pounds at 6 months so you’re probably right in the middle of her growth spurt, expect her to be closer to 100 pounds in a few months! lol amazing! She’s been pretty amazing so far but drat can she be stubborn sometimes.

Thanks! She’s been kinda a lot of work trying to get her to leave the cats alone because she always wants to play with them and she’s so big we don’t want her to hurt them. She’s pretty good about it now but she still boops them every so often. They mostly don’t care about her though so that’s good.

mattfl posted:Is this your first Dane? We've had 3 so far so if you have any questions specific to the breed please ask! You are also in the age where she's going to be a complete pain in the rear end most of the time lol She'll mellow out at about 2 years old Yeah it’s our first one and…. We’ve heard the same thing about the 2 year mark lol. That is a long ways away…. Honestly she’s not that bad it’s just that she’s so drat big when she gets the zoomies it’s like a freight train running around lol. Do you have any recommendations for good edible chew toys? I got some chicken ones from costo but she blows through one in like 20 min lol.

Thanks! We have her on Royal Canin large breed puppy food as that’s what the vet suggested it’s kinda expensive but

mattfl posted:Ya that's a good food. We went through a few foods before we settled on Costco's Kirkland brand for both pups. Watson eats twice a day, 3-4 cups per time, we go through food pretty fast lol Yeah we had her on that when we first got her because that’s what the rescue was feeding her. The vet recommended a switch because of something about her tendons or something I dunno lol Honestly it’s more expensive but it’s not that much more. I’m getting a big bag of the Royal canin for $70 and it’s lasting her a month right now at 3 cups 2x a day. I think my wife spends more money on the cats food and treats though lol.

mattfl posted:Ya the way Great Danes grow is a little different than how a regular sized dog grows. They grow at a much faster pace than say your standard lab or retriever, so they need higher quality nutrients and more of them. Generally high-quality large breed puppy food is fine, just keep an eye on her feet, look up great dane knuckling and you'll see what can happen when they aren't getting the proper nutrients in their diet. Ok yeah that is what he said might have been starting with one of her paws which is why we made the switch. quote:Start getting her accustomed to nail trimming now if she's not, they grow super fast lol. We use a dremel and it does a great job but it took him a few times doing it to get used to having it done, we still have to use peanut butter to distract him lol Are you using a specific dremel? We haven’t been too good about that and I know that’s something we should be doing. She’s actually in puppy school a few days a week (it’s fuckin expensive) and they said they work on the dogs when it comes to paws and teeth so they’ve been doing it at least.

Yeah she's generally ok with the baths so far tbh. She doesn't really smell but what smells though is her fuckin spit on everything! I've washed her blankets and they still smell lol If I sniff her though she has like no smell at all.

Writer Cath posted:I asked the vet for a product and the one they gave me works great. I don't have any experience with the store bought stuff, but your vet might have something. Yeah she’s going in tomorrow morning so I’m sure they will give something. I just feel bad that her ears are giving her problems. Everything on the internet was saying only let the vet clean them and stuff. So I don’t know if we did something wrong.

My Dane is 1.7 years old. When the gently caress do they get lazy? This girl never wants to stop! I love her but when I get home at midnight that’s not play time! It’s also not playtime at 7am!

I feel like I was lied to with this big dog thing. I love her so much but I’m going to tell everyone the big lazy dog thing is a myth. It’s all lies
