Tibi is a, in a word, gorgeous fawn Great Dane. He is 2 yo, neutered, HW neg. and on preventatives, UTD and micro chipped. Tibi is a hefty 181 lbs and could stand to lose about 15 to 20 lbs.  At 160 or 165 he would be quite svelte and truly stunning.  Tibi gets along well with other dogs, walks well on leash and loves his humans.  He also likes his crate and LOVES his teddy bears.

Tibi got bit pretty bad by another dog living in the house and had to have stitches in his front leg so well not be ready to go to his new home right away. However, he is young and should heal quickly.  His family is devastated at having to give him up.  They have had him since a puppy, however, their other dog  that bit him so bad is much older and not nearly as adoptable and they were afraid he may never find a home.  I was a tough decision but the right one as they knew that they could not keep both in the same house.

 

 

*** According to dogbreedinfo.com, the history of Great Danes go way back. Incised on some Greek money dating back to 36 B.C. is the image of a dog very similar to the Great Dane of today. The Great Dane is known as the "Apollo of all dogs." In 407 A.D. German Gaul and part of Italy and Spain were invaded by an Asiatic people (the Alans) who brought with them powerful mastiff-like dogs. In Germany especially, where these magnificent animals capable of overcoming bears and wild boars were much admired, a process of selective breeding was begun. The dogs were crossed with Irish Greyhounds, and the issue was the beautiful, large, thin, agile dog known today as the Great Dane. Despite the fact that they are called Danes in English, these dogs have nothing to do with Denmark. The Great Dane is a gentle giant. Dignified, kind, sweet and affectionate, it is playful and patient with children. It loves everyone and needs to be around people. The Great Dane does not bark much and only becomes aggressive when the circumstances require it. A steady dog, responsible and dependable. Brave and loyal, it is a good watchdog. They need plenty of exercise - at least a good walk a day. The expected life-span is about 10 years, although some live 12-13.
