What breed of dog do you likeWould you get a dog from a rescue center

The last dog i had was a great dane from a rescue center and he was no trouble

I love Great Danes. I bought two puppies when my daughters were children. Husband #1 ran over one in the driveway after we separated. He let the second one run away and he never tried to find him. (He had gotten the house when we split and I left the pups with him and the kids.)

Since I got rid of that husband, I've had several more Great Danes (husbands, too, come to think of it!). Sir Duke of Mozart (AKC registered, Boston marked) was a 2 year old that I got from Colorado Great Dane Rescue. He was the most wonderful dog I had ever seen. Loyal, sympathetic, loving, gentle, great with kids and everything one would want in a dog. I had him for five years.

The next one I called Cowboy, (harlequin) I got from the Waco animal shelter. Didn't work well for us. He, apparently, hated horses. We (my husband of 17 years and I) had 30 of them on our ranch and he barked every time he saw or heard one. We returned him to the shelter after about a week of non-stop barking.

Then came Baron Von Bowser, another AKC registered Dane; a 2 year old & our first merle. We called him Duke. We got him at the Animal shelter, too. Another fantastic adoption. He passed on at 6 years.

After him, Lady Lilly Dee Giant and Malachi, both from the same seller. Lady is AKC registered harlequin. Malachi was supposed to be registered, but never was. He was the meanest, nastiest, most vicious Great Dane I have ever seen. He bit me after I got him. I sent him to a trainer and he bit the trainer, too. He threatened my husband and grown son and had to be put down when my 3 year old grandson came to live with us.
