Temperament - Mostly Titus seems to be one of those quiet slow moving male Danes we all love so much. He's still young so he does have his wild playful moments, but even at this age they aren't all that common. He has separation issues and worries about being abandoned, so he'll whine if locked away from you, but it's really pretty mild and he is learning to get over it

Comments

Titus was surrendered by his owners because their older dog did not get along well with Titus. The problem wasn't with Titus, he gets along fine with other dogs. But Titus was the "new" dog and so Titus had to go. Titus is house broken, likes to lay within eyesight of his people, and really enjoys being around others. Titus is very loving and will make someone a great dog. Titus obviously loved his family because it took him several days here to calm down and stop looking for them to come back for him. And it took him several more days to commit to being here with us and start engaging my wife and I. When he first got here he didn't like people touching his ears or petting him around the ears, but he's over that now, and loves to have his ears rubbed. He was also slow to engage the other dogs. He mostly tried to stay out of their way and ignore them. Now he loves running and playing with the gang. He does have some separation issues, nothing big, he just whines when locked away from his people. He isn't destructive, and doesn't have to be touching you or anything, he is just scared you're going to disappear on him. Which isn't really that big a surprise, all things considered. He is a big sweet ol' boy who just wants to have a family to take care of.

Update 7/10 -Titus was adopted by former DDRI adopters, Shawn & Kathy S. last year, who also adopted Chance from us in 04. Chance is now 9 and has been Kathy's service dog for a number of years. The plan was to train Titus to take over Chance's service dog duties when he was no longer able to perform them. Sadly Titus just wasn't working out as a service dog and they had to bring him back. So Titus is up for adoption again. He is good with kids, cats, other dogs, whatever. And he is a very sweet boy.
