Here we go...the very first pic of what I hope will be my faithful companion for many thousands of miles across the country. I will not meet her for another six weeks or so, and have to pick her up in Provo, Utah. As she grows and changes...which she assuredly will, I will post a progression. Her breeder sent me this pic. Hard to believe that this will be a Great Dane............

Many indeed...I have to drive her nine hours back from Provo Utah to Scottsdale AZ in December...I will have to put plastic everywhere in the Jeep and stop often. Danes do grow quickly though, apart from the brain part, so will be fun to see the progresssmile

Admittedly, very fierce-looking at this stage.....

Hmm, Great Dane + road-trips, makes me wonder; do you drive around the country in a multi-coloured van, with a group of friends, solving mysteries?

Cute puppy by the way.

Growth continues...this was weaning week.. The adult dog is not the parent . Pick up Dec 22, by which time she will possibly have doubled again....the ears will NOT be cropped...
