eSJayDee Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Anyone have any experience/opinions w/ "hand raised" puppies, ie when the B word dies from birthing? Looking for a puppy & I'm actually wondering if that might not be a good thing. I've encountered a couple of litters like this during my inquiries. I wanna get a Great Dane BTW. TIA.
BuffaloBud Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Just FYI - life expectancy of a Great Dane is about 7 years.
eSJayDee Posted May 8, 2014 Author Posted May 8, 2014 BufBud. Yes, I know their stated life expectancy is 7-8 yrs. The dog in my avatar lived to be 10.5, which, barring typical "unexpected circumstances", I believe is more typical. (That an ability/tolerance for accommodating incontinence &/or limited mobility.)
Just Jack Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Maybe try local shelters first, see if they have any up for adoption? Or a Great Dane rescue organization? http://www.greatdanerescueinc.com/
