My Weimaraners aren't exactly petite, but I'd need a third one to match the total canine poundage.

Denes have a real problem, their feet being so far from their heads. Little dogs can get in and nip their feet very easily.
That has to be the best feeling.......
I have that problem too.

Double bump to bookmark
Every Great Dane I have ever known thinks he's a lap dog; where does that come from?
My husband always has trouble remembering how to pronounce Weimeraner, so he stoppped trying and, without fail, just calls them Ramalamadingdongs. It’s one of the little things I first loved about him lol.
Giant George is Beautiful! But nearly as spoiled rotten as my Linda! At least SHE only tips the scales at 60lbs!
LOL
When she was a pup she was held like a baby and given PLENTY of lap time.
Its funny now when my 83 year old mother is sleeping in the recliner, Molly climbs up to sleep in her lap or across her legs.
Of course, I don't think my mom would think it was funny if Molly was a 245# Great Dane, wanting lap time.
I've noticed that the pronunciation confounds a lot of folks, even though it's only four syllables. But there is a difference in pronunciation in different countries.
In Germany, where the breed originated (named for the city of Weimar, of course), and in the rest of Europe generally, it's VIE-mah-rah-ner. In the U.S. and Canada, it's usually pronounced WHY-mah-rah-ner.
A friend of mine has a GD and a new born baby ........all Ross has to do is say to the GD watch the baby he stares at the baby and every time the baby fusses the dog licks him till he stops.......
One day, Siggy was alone in the house and a burglar came calling. The burglar stepped up the back stairs to the kitchen door and punched out a glass panel to get at the door knob. Siggy heard the glass break and came bounding out of the living room to hit the door jamb with his front paws. The would be burglar was now staring eyeball to eyeball with a 150 pound Great Dane. He did the fastest 180 degree turn on the planet — cutting his arm on the broken glass — and lit out for parts unknown. When my buddy's wife returned home about a half hour after the incident, she found Siggy cowering behind the sofa. He thought he'd done something wrong. In reality he saved the house from a burglary.
great story.....
question — don’t Great Dane’s live very short lives? 7 or 8 years?
chihuahuas are mean dogs. Can’t stand them. Yorkies are passable but most small dogs are badly disciplined. I prefer a mid-sized dog myself
pampering when they are puppies.
Unfortunately, from all I’ve heard, that’s true. My dog’s grandpa, however, made it to 12, so I have some hope.
Let’s hope so too and that your big guy gives your family a lot of love for a long time..
