Harley is a beautiful young 120 pound black purebred Great Dane!  He will most likely get up to 130 when he fills out.  He has a wonderful personality, is housebroken, up to date on shots, neutered, LOVES to play with his toys and other dogs, is crate trained, will go right in when asked, and is very affectionate.  Harley tries very hard to please and responds well to touch and gentle words.  He gets along well with kids, other dogs and most likely cats, however, I haven't tested him yet.  Harley is very special and if I didn't already have three Danes I would adopt him myself!  Every so often a really special one comes along and he's one of them.  He will require a 4 to 6' fence (no invisible fencing).  He pulls on leash but would respond fairly quickly to leash training I'm sure.  He does best in a yard that he can run in and get good exercise.  We would like to see him go to someone that is home some during the day so that he has companionship.  He loves to be near his humans.  Harley will require a home visit before being adopted.

*** 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.
