Let me know how it goes and send me a video. Michael.coburn7@yahoo.com all are welcome to write me.

I have to say, I wasn't prepared for the slobber. My last dog was 50% Great Dane, with a Great Dane personality, and she left a permanent crust of slobber outside the window of every vehicle in which she traveled. The puppy though, the purebred Great Dane, holy smokes! My work clothes are all black, and I go to work looking like I have been attacked by a mob of angry snails. Sticky slobber trails everywhere, all the time. She is only five months old. I have a feeling I should just convince my company to let me switch to a snot-colored uniform, because that's where we're heading anyway.

KOKOA KEI same with a Doberman their all over rough and tumble don’t know what is to much

Grandpa Bill they’re beautiful and they know it though! Lol I’ve had some min pins and they know that they’re bad ass ha!

KOKOA KEI my min pins run the house or so they think

Grandpa Bill I love it lol

dab 8430 it’s clearly a joke. Every Great Dane owner jokes about having a mini horse or just a horse.

thats what had me crying laughing LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes they have a horse like appearance

I mean they ARE like horses

My best friend has a Great Dane with brindles just like yours. Your babies are truly beautiful 😍. Did you have their beds custom made. Have you seen the stands for the bowls? It’s supposed to be easier on the digestive system.

@@barste08 A little late in my reply, but the beds came from Kuranda (link in description) and also from Dogbeds4less out of California. As to raising the bowls, I did this for my first two Danes and they both ultimately bloated. The science is mixed so I say people do what they want. But I appreciate how nicely you brought it up.

My heeler just climbs into bed to be cuddled till I get up!

my heeler is a mix between blue and red, and he cuddles with me at night if i let him, and he gets up when i get up, we go outside, he eats and drinks a little, then lays down where he can still see me

I have a Texas heeler which is a blue heeler mixed with Australian shepherd

@@zoeycaratti9023 so could you all him a.. PURPLE HEELER! I'm sorry that was a reall bad joke 😆

I have 3 pitbulls and despite day of the week have to support the routine - walks and feeding. Of course, have a nice sized backyard is a big plus!!!

Imma leave a trace allll the way😂😂😂

Practice- seems like the only thing I did right if you read the comments. I know I let the water run - my bad.

Das wha happens when ya don't feed your dogs "r-e-a-l" food (spelled R-a-w!!)

@@mcclary6 you are 100% correct -carb garbage 😂

About the cat... not really, mine barely defends herself all she does is run if something is wrong lol

So true

Phillip Lopez cats lion 😂

Thats the dumbest thing Ive heard this morning

True but, my cat protects me as well. She hates when someone goes in my room. Especially if I’m asleep she stays up and watch the door. Cats are sweet if you give them a chance. Also, you can train cats on how to be gentle with babies, I did that with my cat. Basically my mom and I trained her.

Sugerlump 36 I have 2 18lbs dogs and they make mess out of water. lol.

My malinois puppy also spills the water all over the place, I think she likes to play with it 😂

I know same! I have a giant schnauzer and everything e she drinks she gets water all over!

Man I have both a shepherd and a Dane and neither of them know how to swallow water 😂

With my corgi, There is always more water on the ground than in the water bowl

Nathan ... you must be talking to someone else. I made a very knowledgeable and inform comment that is backed by a degree. So thank you for chiming in. Seemingly my comment has received many likes as many people are just as well informed, who don’t have a degree. So unless you are the owner of theses dogs, my guess is you just want attention. Sorry that you are so unhappy in life you spread you negativity to others. My comment was very kind, polite and only for the benefit of all involved. -stay indoors, you obviously caught foot in mouth disease

Nathan Lentine... also, did you by chance read the other Vet’s response to why raise feeders are more beneficial ...? Seems like 3 of us have commented on such. Maybe furiously look at google and try and find some contrary evidence that will support the unwarranted tongue lashing you tried to give me. Guess you bark up the wrong trees often. Come to my office and we will prescribe you a pill for that. You’re not the first, nor the last who will bark bark bark at me. By animals at work , and humans here. It’s always fun

Caplan916 lololol😂😂. I like the comeback, not being a smart ass.

Man, your the life of the party everyone comes to see. Geez man these are animals at the end of the day. If they didn't have humans guess what, they would eat however way they can.

ohshyt its me They are domesticated not wild animals. And as a great dane owner myself it is basic knowledge to have their bowls raised. It could cause digestive problems and sometimes even twisted stomach. Which is deadly if not treated immediately.

❤❤❤❤❤

Umm why not?

Glad you enjoyed it- you know the subtleties.

@@MichaelCoburn Are they aggressive??

Not typically aggressive but that is why you breed for temperament!

My Zeus ALWAYS wants more! Love seeing three routine

Actually really great and now they sleep in there with the doors open. But not all guests want a Great Dane in their face so we put them away when we have company not comfortable with dogs.

Thanks for watching. It is a conscious decision based on experience, evidence and breeder/vet feedback. No evidence to indicate that raised feeders reduce the incidence of bloat or GDV. Stomach tacking, which I have done on each of my 3 Great Danes since my first two bloated with raised feeders is a much more effective tactic to reduce the impact of GDV. Here is a link to a peer reviewed article on the topic. Please let me know what evidence you are basing your comments on for your suggestion. Abstract There are only two studies that study the effect of raised feeders on the risk of Gastric Dilatation Volvulus (GDV) and their findings conflict. Only one study found a significant effect of feeder height, with large and giant breeds fed from a raised feeder being at an increased risk of GDV floor fed dogs. However, these authors found that, where the feeder was raised, the height of the feeder that increased the GDV risk was affected by the size of the dog. Large breed dogs were more likely to develop a GDV if fed from a bowl ≤ 1 foot tall, whereas giant breed dogs were more likely to develop a GDV if fed from a bowl > 1 foot tall. No studies found that feeding from a raised feeder reduced the risk of GDV relative to feeding from the floor. Therefore, the safest option in the absence of further evidence is to advise that owners of ‘at risk’ dogs feed from a feeder on the floor. This may not reduce the risk of GDV, but there is no evidence to suggest that it will increase the risk. www.veterinaryevidence.org/index.php/ve/article/download/57/126?inline=1

Danm he came prepared!!!!

dennely zarazua lmao

He whipped out dem facts and he do be right 😳

@@lettucetomato4401 yes he does I was just concerned about it but I'm glad I was set straight respectfully and I'm ok with that other people wouldn't of I love learning knew things

I disagree

How so?

Queen Chrelle Lmao stfu.

You're spot on. We had higher feeding/water bowls for out Dane.

I’m not sure if this applies to Great Danes , but I have a standard poodle and it is recommended that you keep their bowls flat on the ground to prevent bloating . Broad chested dogs without gastropexys can bloat which is serious and can cause death .

Michael Licavoli I mean whatever it takes lol

I used to feed my bulldog from a fork. Only way she'd eat. It seemed like some work at the time, but now that she's gone I'm so glad I never made her change.

You are so right

Thanks for sharing!

DON'T BE FREAKED OUT. YOUR DOG'S SPIRIT IS WITH YOU....BE HAPPY FOR THIS!!!!!

Same thing happened to me after I lost my girl to cancer ❤️❤️

Nothing sounds more empty than a house after losing a dog 💔

Sorry for your loss

What reasons?

Dakota&Blessing ServiceTeam cosmetic only, serves no purpose, other than pain, discomfort, risk of infection when done......etc. etc.

@@woohunter1 aren't they on pain meds? What if a cropped dog is fine? No pain, no infection,... just wondering. A lot of things humans di to/with there dogs is cosmetic so I don't think just because something is purley cosmetic it should be wrong. Don't they crop working dogs as well or something like that?

Dakota&Blessing ServiceTeam it’s controversial, some like it, some don’t. I don’t.

@@woohunter1 ah ok. I get it.

Needing Less 5” wide hickory by Mohawk

@@MichaelCoburn - Beautiful! Thank you for responding.

Yes, I have been to Switzerland 7+ times. Bought this in Gruyere. Thanks for noticing.

They are originally proper to have them cropped because a long time ago they cropped their ears so they could fight boars... I think it has become a more preferred look to the Dane and it is completely pain free since they are under anesthesia and on medication for a week. Lots of people disagree but if it's that painful it would be considered abuse and be banned in all states and countries...I suggest that you take a look at the pros of ear cropping.

What I'm trying to say is no need to feel sorry for the dog

@@twxstedarii450 there are no “pros” to cropping it’s purely aesthetic look there is just absolutely no need even dogs that are prone to ear infections shouldn’t get their ears cropped

@@breekennedy3945 I disagree I have some danes and some that have cropped ears and the ones with natural ears are more prone to hematomas. If you look at more than half of the akc registered danes out there most have cropped ears and yes there are pros look it up there are many helpful videos and websites your welcome

Fun fact, most great dane owners don't crop the ears themselves, they get them like that as puppies from other breeders. Unless your breed the dogs yourself.

Angie McIntyre no check your facts it is proven to increase chances of bloat

CORRECT.

@dab 8430 how do you know what is more comfortable for his pups. They seem completely fine with eating from a feeder on the floor. And he has done his research and seen what is best for HIS DOG and gave a reasonable answer. More than reasonable. If you are unsatisfied I suggest you take it somewhere else instead criticising how someone feeds their dog 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

@dab 8430 common sense tells me that dogs naturally dogs would eat of the groung not of a raised surface

@dab 8430 This guy, as in you? You should probably reply to who you are talking too. Also your comments make you sound like an unstable total goof and if you do not believe me the evidence is here just scroll up and re read at your convenience and reading level. Take care

practice

Awwwwwwww

Many who can’t get a Great Dane watch vicariously

Magic starts and Finn sometimes joins in

CUTE!!

Cato9 or you could just not tell them what to do :) you dont know if they clipped them or not & you really dont know anything about them :)

@@entertainmyfa1th please shut the fuck up :)

Jordan Thompson LMAO

I agree getting stools

Raised feeders are not necessary. You clearly don't have great dane knowledge or you would know that the other dog won't be getting it's ears cropped because that's only done as a puppy! And Magic? Maybe they didn't get him as a puppy and his ears were already cropped.

I don’t feed on a raised platform because the evidence and science would say it doesn’t help in some cases could actually hurt.

In the wild dogs eat off the ground with their heads down.

@@mollys1439 wild dogs are probably no more than 18 in tall, giant breeds 30 + inches. even Lions lay down when they eat, Nature's Way. Giant breeds are bred by humans, so we make accommodations.

Feeding elevated is proven to increase chances of bloat
