Good for you for trying to help this puppy. I owned a great dane and while they are wonderful gentle dogs, their size makes people think they are strong/sturdy dogs when actually they do have a lot of health issues which can be expensive. The way they eat, drink and play can cause their stomachs to flip (bloat)(which can be deadly) and being kept outside no one would know it's habits. There is also bone and joint disorders. As with yorkies - they are not a breed for someone on a tight budget. You are certainly to be commended for doing something that will probably make you pretty unpopular with your family. Good luck to you!!! |
