The Hunting Great Dane.
Nowadays, the Great Dane is often called the gentle giant, because the absolute majority of dogs are really gentle. But you should know, the race was not always like that, the Great Dane was a hunting dog for large animals, with emphasis on wild boars. Hence the original name Boarhound (wild boar dog). As you can see, the Dogs were bred with a high functional ability to suit this task, not ascetics.

The two returned friends have settled in rather well and are beginning to show their personalities more each day.

Maggie is a sweet cuddler who has really enjoyed having other dogs to play Bitey-Face with. She's a very reserved girl. She needs more work being mindful on leash. She walks well but then will bolt to the end to sniff something which hurts and gives some insight into the danger her previous family was in trying to walk this strong girl. They did awesome with her. She takes treats very soft, knows her basics, had traveled by car from Utah to Missouri/Milwaukee (I can't remember which was said now that I'm trying) and back to visit family.

We kennel at night for everyone's safety which has been a tough learning experience for Maggie, but she's getting more comfortable. Pluto was used to being kenneled.

Pluto walks well on the leash, takes treats really soft, and has his basics down. A few in the house accidents the first 36 hours with Pluto, but that's something we anticipated adding two previously single dogs into the home. Maggie hasn't had any accidents. No resource guarding. Overall a rather smooth transition going from 3 to 5 adult Danes in just 12 hours.

It's been a WILD day here at SMGD. Today we welcomed back not one, but two of our Tree Litter puppies. We meant it when we said they're always welcome to return and we will do our best to find them their perfect fit.

Pluto, formerly Elm, is a big soft boy who was returned because his families living situation took an unexpected turn.

Maggie, formerly Ash, came back to us because her family is facing medical hardships along with older age which has just made a rambunctious 100 pound dog a bit on the dangerous side.

Maggie has been spayed, is UTD on vaccines, and will be looking for her home soon.
Pluto will be getting neutered before finding his new family so he will be here a bit longer.

If you know of anyone looking for their next best friend, share these sweet dogs.

Took Echo for her first off leash walk through Tanner Park today. Luckily her dad is great with other dogs and showed her there's nothing to worry about when they run around and come to sniff.

Today was a Scotch outing day. We went to FastCAT and he had a blast! Definitely found his new hobby. Then we visited family where he got to run around with his son, now named Pluto. After that we stopped in at a weathered old tree and got some pretty pics.

Scotch joined us for the Food Truck event. He enjoyed all the attention and was a good boy
