A dog so large she needs a saddle 

Idk

25? 😅

😂😂😂

10?.

This time of the year? Small pittance for such excellent content!

Imao I know this game VERY well! 😂 A good friend of mine has a Newfoundland named Kitty. He's about 120 lbs of adorable 1 year old puppy craziness and the sweetest little-big derp. Lol 🤣🥰💜

that’s the cutest thing ever lol!

Those people knew exactly what they were doing when they named their dog Kitty

Well…. I have a Doxie named Tiger 😆

Its would be better if the had kitty called "Doggy" 😁

What?

@@erinmoore6463 Scooby Doo

and the great Dane is widely known for being a FUCKING COWARD

Rot, rearry?

ruh-roh

I think she technically made you cry

@@Thenoobestgirl nope... nilufer did it al by herself. (and yes, it is sad)

Maggie mae in Florida is the oldest Dane I know about, she's 16. None of them get enough years. Even if they live to 22. It's just not enough.

Don't be sad, many of them that are fed a high quality food throughout life make it to 10-12. I've even heard of a few make it to 14

If they're well-cared for, they can make it to 10 - 12 years old. Good diet & exercise are key.

🤣 I love this

My Great Dane loves chewing my ears.

I think it’s because if they were in the wild, smaller dogs would have to show that they aren’t easy food to scare off predators, while big dogs scare them with just the size. ?

compact files of cosmic hatred? LOL

You have never owned a small dog....

They always are. They're SOOOO chill, despite being huge. They think they're lap dogs

@@ncommerce any dog to me is a lap dog, can't give them enough love, hugs, & kisses!!🐾🐕🥰

At least she seems to have relaxed by the end. :)

@@ncommerce they are very quick to give up and accept their fate

Fun fact: if a dog is scared they will not misbehave thinking they will be beat up, or they will bite you if there terrified of you

Ain't that the truth. That seems to be a trend: the bigger the breed the greater their tendency towards acting like giant lapdogs. Our GSD/Black Lab mix (100 lbs of muscle) acted that way.

@@ironhead2008 the smaller they are the more ferocious they act 😂

@@ironhead2008 Mhm, definitely true. We have a bigger dog (not that big) breed and she likes jumping on us and using us as her personal dog beds

Oh absolutely! I used to have a Great Dane with what we affectionately called “sharp bum bones” - you’d be left with big ol’ indents in your legs after he decided to sit on you lap lol

stop acting like youre 5 years old and thinking its cute weirdo

My favourite line!

What was missing here is that in this Famine that China suffered, ALL Western countries left China alone. China received NO HELP from anyone. In other famines such as in India, in Africa, in Ireland or even the one suffered by Haiti, the wester nations contributed. In Bangladesh they contributed. In Bengal, the wester nations contributed. In Biafra, they contributed. Who does not remember the "Africa LIVE AID" of 1985, to help Somalia and Ethiopia? I still remember the song: "We are the World". And for China... NOTHING. This country, China, faced disaster alone and came out stronger than ever in its history. Alone. Without invading any sovereign country. Without stealing anyone's resources. Without attacking and without intervening in the affairs of other nations. Alone. Working hard to become the second world economic power. 40 years ago China was starving. Today, China has its own Space Station and is already on Mars. Today, the Chinese are proud to be Chinese. Three decades ago, the Chinese felt humiliated. Well not anymore. Never more! And finally. It's True: There was a terrible Famine. And yes, it is true. The Famine was Mao's fault... But, the Famine was also because China suffered 37 years of WAR! China was at uninterrupted war for 37 years! (Just between 1913-1949 have: --Xinhai Revolution: Failed New Empire Coup. --Second Xinhai Revolution. --National Protection War. --Warlord Infighting Across China. --First United Front: Northern Expedition. --First Chinese Civil War. --Second United Front: Protection against Japan in the WWII. --Second Chinese Civil War). U see? China was at war! This is why the Famine happened and not just Mao. China suffered more than two years of Hungry (1959-1961), and although Famines have been present throughout the history of mankind, they have never been as cruel as in China and its almost 5 million deaths. (The Propaganda says it was 10 million... or more).

As an equestrian, i can confirm that Great Danes are much nicer than most horses, especially miniature horses, which are basically the horse version of huskies but instead they are small (for a horse lol, the max they can be is 36" at the shoulders)

@@bungus6707 wh... what does this have this have to do with great danes?

@@bungus6707Wow. Chinese propaganda in the comments. Interesting

Dogs are wonderful. They truly give everything they have when they love you.

We were blessed with a gift from God too. Sadly hes gone now and I will always miss him. Look after your gift til the last day :)

Give that pup some big lovins, sounds like She deserves it big time

Same they are such good dogs but have a short life its so say inhabe two newfounlands and dont know what id do without them

However long we have with them is never long enough. I had an Eskie from 9 weeks old, thinking she’d live like my shelties- mid to late teens. Instead at 9 months old we found out she had terminal kidney disease due to a birth defect condition. She was pampered and babied and lived until she was almost 4. I treasure every minute I had with her and I’m grateful that she was spared any pain until the last couple weeks but my heart still breaks when I think of her. ❤️💔Dymynd💔❤️

Awh congrats, happy birthday to her! And I wish her many more :)

Happy Birthday Hannah

Please post sorter videos your video is too long and I would like to see your doggy. Make a few shorts for the world

Hahah!! I have a 2yo GD too and constantly have to wipe long dripping slobber off the walls and doors every day… I wouldn’t trade my big boy for any other dog though 😇 Hopefully mine lives as long as your fur baby, happy late bday to her 🎉

Happy B-day to your girl! I've had two girls and I guess I've been lucky because the drooling has been minimal for me. Mostly right after drinking water or right before I give a treat. Never had any ceiling slobber though lol.

She’s a such cute big baby 🥰

Gorgeous dog, I wanna give her a big hug! 🤗

I agree and have raised large breeds for years. Warning they become your BFF and don't live long, and second warning: they all seem to think they are mini lapdogs! Yes, you sit down to watch a movie snuggled with a sweetie as the blood pressure in your legs is cut off! LOL! Just love them!

Right!!! Isn't she cuteeeee?!

I wish they lived longer 😭

Did he get eye level with you when he stood up? 😂

@ danielleking262 Oh for sure. That’s big ole sweety was actually a little taller than I was when he stood on his hind legs.

@@inthejcurve7968 that must have been a shock for you, as you probably have to bend your neck down all the time! 😆

Might as well attach a horn and make it a unicorn xD

Yall are wholesome 💖

I have a niece who has one of these "lap dogs" as shown in many selfies!

@@1Slamalama1 imo all dogs are lap dogs if you try hard enough lol

A lot of bigger dogs seem to be unaware of their size. I saw an Irish Wolfhound sitting with her bum on her person's lap but all her feet were still on the floor at the vet waiting room. She was spooked by the terrier that walked a bit too near her :/ My Lab was scared of my guinea pigs and my friend's blue tongue lizard. Big dogs are big softies!

@@1Slamalama1 mine too, and he's around 36'' in shoulders and around 197lbs

God decided it would be funny to switch the attitudes of the chihuahua and great dane. So the smallest breed of dog thinks it can take on the world, and one of the biggest breeds is a teddy bear.

I always come for the jokes about the dogs and cats ! Its hilarious

Jennifer sorry about your loss, it's hard. My best to you.❤️🌺❤️

I still desperately miss my Maltese who died 4 years ago. It’s so hard. Wishing you the best!

Bless you in your grief, lost our 2 older Dobies this past year. Never gets easier but glad to have had them... ❤️

Same with my husky mix, he’s an absolute nightmare to groom especially when it comes to nail trimming. Sweet dog otherwise tho.

Yep grooming is most definitely hard work for not enough pay most times. I can attest it is a very physically demanding, mentally draining career. I love it though, it’s the only job I’ve ever woken up not dreading going to. It’s highly rewarding working with animals but also exhausting because not all animals hold this still or are well behaved for grooming 😂

Same with a lot of things

Get a soap sprayer like this groomer has. They're on Amazon and work AMAZING

Whoa....Minnie the Great Dane lived longer than the average lifespan for her breed. Kudos to your friend for taking such good care of that big doggo.

That's some genetics on that dog! That's nuts

15 years for such a large breed are kind of a miracle! it takes really good genes and a really good owner (a competent vet also can make the difference) 👍 your friend has been blessed ❤️

Thats a lucky dog, your friend must have taken good care of her ❤️

A friend of mine also had a Great Dane who lived up to 13. Her name was also Minnie! 😃

You can find great dogs at the pound. Go today.

I loved my Dane, I feel your pain

@@jimalldredge8691 just cause they once had a Great Dane doesn’t mean they’re in a situation to have a dog right now don’t be a dick😂

They leave a Great Dane-shaped hole in your heart. I could not cope, so now I have another big playful imbecile thrashing my house. Love it!

Wtf thats insane

Did you have a saddle for it?

@@user-dg9pu4pe9d the neighborhood kids, when young, would ride on ours (210 lbs I think) like a horse after school. Lol.

That’s A LOT of dog at 170 let alone 200+

@@Jen39x he was a big dog. Not fat, by any means. Just tall and beefy. Lol. The GD we had was able to put his front legs on my (6'0") dad's (5'9") shoulders and look straight down at him. The GD we had I think topped out at about 210.

That had to be one of the worst researched articles of all time!

This is accurate. Danes just want a soft place to rest ideally as close to you as possible. They’re huge, but don’t need much room. (Unless you count your whole heart which is obviously required)

Our dane would hate that. She loves to sprint laps around the yard outside

@@sinisterthoughts2896 If you can dedicate specific times to exercising them, and the dog is an adult (or especially a senior!) I can't say that I'd disagree with that article. My girl spends about 85% of her time curled up next to me, either sleeping, cuddling, or both.

We had a Rottweiler when my 3 children were little. They LOVED riding the dog as much as the Rottie loved having her people on her back and making them giggle uncontrollably. Good times. All children should ride a dog at least once in their lives, of course I mean big dog with little children and as much safety as you can for the 30 second ride. Hexie, the Rottie always ran so fast that it was over in no time. In their mid-30s now, all 3 children remember riding the dog with lasting joy and laughter. and l

I don't think a baby crib mattress is at all big enough for this kind of big dog ;-)

It took me years to figure that one out on my own. I was spending way too much money on expensive beds that my Great Dane would flatten like a tortilla in a matter of months. The key is to not buy the coiled crib mattresses. They are not made to handle that much weight so I bought a foam crib mattress on Amazon a few years back for $45 and it was the best investment for my dog. She loves her bed and changing the sheets is way easier than dealing with dog bed covers with zippers.

I got a small loveseat off Facebook Market place for my dane. Has removable covers, cost me $20 and the beast loves to rest his head on the arm supports. I highly recommend for any big dog owners!

@@c.goldstr great idea!!

@@jessdatip4152 took me a long time, as well. It only occurred to me when my grandson went from crib to a bed and I realized the crib mattress was perfect size for my Akita😊

pound? what is that in kilograms? as i understand it, US pounds differ from kilogram based pounds

1 kilogram is about 2.2 pounds, so the OP's dog weighs a little over 60 kilograms

Giant babies

They absolutely live up to the gentle giant moniker. Such sweethearts.

@@skyofthelivingdead My girl Tiny is super protective, feel sorry for anyone who tries to sneak up behind me. She can be very intimidating. But she is very sweet as long as you don't try to touch me.

Same here. Mine keeps threatening to get one. For now she's settled with being the grandma to my American Akita.

@@hibikimills9566 One day I was out in the pasture feeding the cows, I bent down to move the food container when one of the girls hit me in the back of the head with her horn. Man did that hurt, about a week later my husband asked if we should get another puppy a great dane. I said that sounded like a great idea!!! So we went and got Tiny from a friend with a litter. Then he took me to the hospital because we already had two aussies at the time and he suspected I was a bit boggled. So now we have our sweet girl cause of my head injury, she is totally worth the headaches. Way more of a cuddly lap hugger than I could ever hope for.

no she certainly does not, she thinks her entire body will fit in your lap and will get very upset when it doesnt. After failing to lay down in your lap for 10 minutes they will give up and push their face into yours and whine for an indeterminate period of time until you get on the floor with them and hold them Source: my Great dane Shelby literally does this constantly

@@DrPinkieDie my Charlotte did that too 💕💜🖤🥺 they really are the one of the absolute best breeds. You will never find a more steadfast friend than in a Dane. She wasn't lying about the heartbreak though.. I hope Shelby lives a long happy life and never has a short supply of love and cuddles! 🖤🖤

I’ve noticed that the bigger the dog ACTUALLY is, the smaller they believe they are 😂🥰

@@skyofthelivingdead The opposite is true of small dogs. My chihuahuas both think they’re huge. 😂😂

They all do! It's hilarious!

My friend’s GD is like that. He’s not aware of his own weight, and just wants to lay in your lap or on your body - no organ is safe!

Every great dane I've ever seen thinks they are a lapdog and it's the best thing ever. Until it's your lap, of course.

Right down to thinking they can sit in your lap.

How is that controversial

@@Jess-he9fc it’s a pretty invasive surgery, as well as expensive, and if done in properly can cause even more problems. I do agree that if the dog is a breed known for bloat, or has a family history of bloat it should be done though.

Interesting! I didn't know that was a thing

Your doggo will be magical. =)

@@Taistelukalkkuna thanks!

He didn't see himself as a lapdog - he was a lapdog! All Great Danes are lapdogs!

My neighbors growing up always had 2, and they really were a heart-break breed for sure. He would lose one due to age, and the other would pass shortly after every time :(

They may not always be around as long but that gives you good reason to adopt! The shorter your pets lifespan the more dogs you can adopt over time saving more from the adoption centers and such, it's incredibly sad but at the same time you get to know so many good pups.

My dog does this when she wants me to rub her belly while standing up 😅😅😅

These are beautiful thoughts that have touched me. Merry Christmas 🎄

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas Janice! I hope you can have another dog to spend your years with

we love you, janice! i hope you're well :)

Best of luck, and I wish you happiness in life (:

Hahah!! When my big boy leans on me, he pushes all his weight on me… all 140 lbs of him 😂

@@Emily-fy6ej oh gosh! My big dog went to the vet today for an ear infection, and I just found out he weighs 90 pounds. ONLY 90. And he fell right on top of me while he was sleeping, which feels like 2x the weight. But he's huge, I don't get how he's so skinny, he's real old though. But our dachshund if very heavy. She's really lazy to. She's picky as heck. She NEVER stops staring at me when I eat. I have to shove a pillow in her face untill she decides to move. She hogs everything. But she's cute as fluff.

I can confirm that. My mom had mini doxie (she was small for a mini actually, weighed all of 8.5 lbs) and that dog would push me out of a California king sized bed whenever I babysat her. She passed away a few years ago at the age of 14 from a genetic blood disease, but I will always remember waking up with like maybe 6 inches of bed to myself and this little dachshund somehow taking up the entire rest of that bed.

@@DragynGirl Aw I'm sorry for your loss, she sounds so sweet though. I'm so confused how my mini dachshund hoggs the whole bed, most of the time I'm sleeping on the floor. Somehow she stretches out another 2 feet. I'm always asking myself, "Is she 60% butt and 40% Head? Or 40% Butt and 60% head....."

Would plexiglass be better??? With a hard wood layer.

I had a black and blazed Dane named Charlotte. She lived to be about 4½. She was the best friend anyone could ever ask for.

My Great Dane just had bloat a few days ago, and while we haven’t seen the final total because he isn’t out of the hospital, it’s been $7000 so far. I also didn’t know what bloat was until it happened and it really is terrifying. Given how dangerous it is, I really wish it was talked about more. Had I known about bloat I would have had gastroplex done on my dog before hand to prevent it.

This is why I believe you should always look up common health problems for the breed you get so you can treat them for said issues early to make it easier if they do get them even if hey don't! So with big dogs looking up common health issues like bloating can help a tin as it teaches you to heavily space out their food. For certain breeds that often have hip or joint issues you can feed them things to help with said issues early which make it less likely they'll get them and if they do it tends to not be as bad! I which this was more common ESPECIALLY the knowledge about bloating!! Bloating is horrible, expensive, and extremely scary especially when unprepared..I wouldn't wish it on anyone..

yep sounds like a Dane....they think they are all lapdogs, bless their hearts

It's a great cross. My nephew had one, Abe was heartier than a pure GD and lived longer. Both are caring breeds and he was a huge big puppy. The full body of a Lab and not far from the height of a GD. Black, of course. That's a scary look for a bad guy to come across.

Kinda strange, isn't it? The general trend in nature is the bigger the animal, the longer its lifespan. And yet breeding dogs to be smaller, even if it gives them horrible deformities, still massively increases their life expectancy. It makes no sense for a pug to live twice as long as a wolf, and yet that is the case
