Her breeder, MJ Kohen, is in PA and shows/breeds all the colors of Danes. He's amazing in his knowledge, showmanship, quality of care, and I would highly recommend someone interested in owning a Dane see him first.
Katie was a dream come true after 12 years researching if having a Great Dane in the family would be a positive experience. I can tell you it has been wonderful! She never jumps on people, is deeply offended if scolded (which is why it's never done), doesn't realize her size or that she's not human, and she's so gentle with our children that we have decided never to own a labrador again.

The Last Forum I Posted In: Mom painted my toenails! I've Been On Dogster Since:
Where have I been, you might be wondering. Still here in Long Valley, busy with family/friends, and enjoying all the attention I can get everyday! Presently I'm watching Big Cat Diaries on Mom's bed waiting for her to 'start her day' by making me breakfast. The family's gone off to school/work and it's a Happy Valentine's Day because I know Mommy loves me.
It's MAY and I can't believe Mom hasn't up dated my diary in so long! Shame on her, but we have been very busy.
1. I'm hot pink to celebrate Grace's 13th birthday, Mom's 40th, and the Doggie Daze festival. I'm sure to win most creative costume.
2. Last night Mom and Grace adopted a new pup member to our family, Blondie. She's a 4 1/2 year old, yellow lab, F/S, and was living with 14 other dogs in a 'labrador rescue' that was overwhelmed to the point of neglecting pups. Since Stella's passed Grace's been very sad without a pup of her own, so you can imagine she's over joyed right now to have Blondie.
3. This weekend is DOGGIE DAZE, a festival to support The Long Valley Dog Park and all things dog. If you're in NJ you can't miss it!
OK lunch is calling. Time for hard boiled eggs and kibble.
It's March already? Where has the time gone? We have ladybugs EVERYWHERE in the house and it's snowing AGAIN today! I love the snow, but the other day Mom was out in it with me and fell into a 3 foot drift over mud. She was totally stuck laughing on licking level when Dad yelled to get the camera and wow, did she move fast rolling to get out of her mess. I guess it was funny cause everyone was laughing, but I wish Mom was stuck again. She was in the perfect place to lick all over!
Mia Hamm's doing well, Crash and Puckett are having boy issues peeing everywhere to mark their territory, I'm a bit bored cause I'm not going as many places with Mom since she's staying home more and only going out to work, and my zits came back on my chin again. Puckett has them too so Mom's thinking it's probably cause we're inside chewing toys more than playing outside so the extra drool might be irritating our chins.
At the end of the month the family might be taking a trip and I'm going to stay at my friend's house to play while a human friend stays at our house with everyone else. Mom thought I might like the time away from home and this would make one less pup in the house for her to handle. I'll let you know how it goes.
