Lady
is a female Dane whose owner was killed. The family tried to take her
in and care for her, but their dog did not get along with Lady. She is
trained but needs work, she is used to not having to follow commands
now. We have vet records on her and her pedigree. Lady is very small
for a Dane. We have two 6 month old pups who are both bigger than she
is. In fact the only dogs smaller than her are the two 10 week old
pups. Even our Greyhound is bigger than Lady. But she makes up
for her lack of stature with personality and a zest for life. Despite
her being very confused right now, and her whole world being turned
upside down, she is still at heart a happy loving, joyous dog.
We will be doing temperament evaluations on Lady and will also start
working on her training. We will post regular updates here. As of now
we do know that she is very affectionate and loves to get hugs and
kisses, that she does not respect kiddy gates or any obstructions (she
has even been known to get over a 5 foot fence), and that she sees
nothing wrong with getting on the furniture, in fact she like to get on
the furniture when she plays with the other dogs so she doesn't have
such a height deficit. She is also a counter surfer extrodinaire.
Update 12/07/03 -
Lady is such an amazingly sweet dog. She is very high energy, but she
immediately calms down as soon as you touch her or pet her. She just
adores physical contact and loves to be kissed and fussed over. She
will take as much of that as you can stand to give, even kisses on the
face. She is great around the house, doesn't get into stuff or destroy
stuff, and is housebroken. She is also crate trained, though she
prefers to be out with her people. As we said earlier, she does not
respect barriers so the only way to keep her in or out of a room is
with a closed door. However she is not a problem if given run of the
house. She really deserves and would do best with someone who can
give her lots of love and attention, and she does love to run and play.
However she could adapt well to a less active life if she was getting
the love and attention she deserves. Her size makes her a good
candidate for an apartment or a small house and she would do very well
with kids. But she really will need a place to run and play. So if
placed in an apartment she would need daily visits to an enclosed park,
or long walks. She'd make a great running/hiking/walking companion.
She'd also do great in such sports as flyball, Frisbee, or agility
competition. While she gets along well with other dogs, and loves to
have a playmante, she would also do well as an only dog as long as she
was kept stimulated and got plenty of attention. She is very
interactive and will require attention, she is not a set and forget dog
as some Danes can be. However she will more than payback the time spent
on her. While not your typical Dane, Lady is a great dog. Someone will
be very lucky to get to share their life with her.

The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool
of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make
a fool out of himself too. Samuel Butler
