We're on our second Dane and they've both been exceptional.
Very good watch dogs, exceptional nose and hunting instincts.
But most importantly, the most compassionate, sensitive, and loving friends you could ask for.
True, but they can be a bit aggressive, no? Have an old friend that has three (King, standard and short; male, female, male respectively), and watched one day (while calculating dope for a match at the kitchen table) as the three went ape shit over attention competition, which led to an all out fight with teeth and blood flying. Long story short, when my friend and husband stepped in to break it up, they were so caught up in the melee, that she had one of them bite her leg by accident. Accident or not, she ended up with several deep puncture wounds to her Achilles's heel, and two of the dogs with torn ears and puncture marks on bellies and legs (the female is not to be trifled with; when she gets going, she literally goes berserk).
They are known to have problems with other dogs. That’s the Bully in them. They enjoy the fight for a lack of a better way to put it. In my experience, the females are the ones that tend to cause more problems. Training is a key as it is with any dog. It also all depends on the dog. I currently have 2 English bulldogs. One is lazy, stubborn, kinda fat, and doesn’t want anything but food and belly rubs. The other, she is high strung, lean, aggressive, territorial, neurotic, hates her belly rubbed but likes a head scratch. You just don’t know till you have the dog what they’ll turn out to be.
Beagles are awesome!! If you can get over the baying... ?
my 85lb german shepherd(zeus) cuddles with my kids male cat (Sammy) it's also very much in how they are raised and introduced, same dog produces police/military dogs. I've had females that don't like any gender cat, so? it can be done if done correclty
