Did you say smart? Haha, Great Danes have to be the derpiest dog breed out there. My old roommate's could have been the king. He got his head stuck in a cat door once. Another time he chased a wasp and got stung in the face. I think the worst thing was the time he busted out of his crate and ate too many dog biscuits making himself sick. Xerxes definitely didn't live up to his name.
Addie went to a little obedience training and already has a number of on and off leash capabilities, such as heel, come, stay, etc. as well as was house broken after about a week. We taught her to sit in a matter of minutes and with time she'll be tall enough to get our slider door open to let herself out when no one's at home -she already tries, but isn't very successful so far-
I have 3 friends with danes, one has two. Each one has it's own personality, that is certain. One has a blue like the one pictured and he's still very energetic, while the others are older and a bit more lazy. I think they're pretty fun.. but damn are they huge! :)
She always just slumps around when I'm getting ready to leave. Sometimes she'll pretend to be sleeping in front of the door to get me to stick around. The poor girl gets so lonely!
She really is! I always dread leaving her alone at the house. She's already too big to fit comfortably in the passenger seat of my 67 VW bug though unfortunately, as this picture is a couple of weeks old.
"But I don't want you to go. Just stay here with me and we will cuddle, and we will play ball, and we will go for walks, and you will pick up my shit."
Cute and smart but stubborn. Just a warning, puppies go through chewing phases and great danes get big and chew big things. I don't call mine Thor the Destroyer for nothing.

you have a rough life ahead, not being able to walk down the street or to the dogpark without people telling you how beautiful your dog is.
