Dallas is a mild-mannered, medium sized dog. Well, medium sized for a Great Dane, that is. She is practically petite at 90 pounds, don't you know!!! She's got these really long legs and a super strong tail that you'd better keep an eye on when she's happy, 'cause that baby's a waggin' and Lord help you if you're in it's path!!! She and Shiloh, a Doberman, were rescued from an abandoned home by Judy. Dallas listens well and does not overstep her bounds ~ petty darn important in a dog of her petite size! :) Sadly but not unexpectantly, she has tested positive for heartworms and will begin treatment soon. The fastest road to recovery is in a loving home. Do you have one?

*** According to dogbreedinfo.com, the history of Great Danes go way back. Incised on some Greek money dating back to 36 B.C. is the image of a dog very similar to the Great Dane of today. The Great Dane is known as the "Apollo of all dogs." In 407 A.D. German Gaul and part of Italy and Spain were invaded by an Asiatic people (the Alans) who brought with them powerful mastiff-like dogs. In Germany especially, where these magnificent animals capable of overcoming bears and wild boars were much admired, a process of selective breeding was begun. The dogs were crossed with Irish Greyhounds, and the issue was the beautiful, large, thin, agile dog known today as the Great Dane. Despite the fact that they are called Danes in English, these dogs have nothing to do with Denmark. The Great Dane is a gentle giant. Dignified, kind, sweet and affectionate, it is playful and patient with children. It loves everyone and needs to be around people. The Great Dane does not bark much and only becomes aggressive when the circumstances require it. A steady dog, responsible and dependable. Brave and loyal, it is a good watchdog. They need plenty of exercise - at least a good walk a day. The expected life-span is about 10 years, although some live 12-13.
