5 week pics!

Shelby turned 5 weeks old yesterday and Ann (the breeder) posted her updated pics! You have to go look at her siblings - http://www.nightmagicpride.com/09julylitter.htm - they are all absolutely precious!

This breed is an American/European cross. European danes have larger heads and are generally more muscular with a thicker coat. Americans have a more slender face and their build leans more toward the greyhound rather than the mastiff. They have a shorter coat and a tighter head/face.

Shelby has a beautiful head and gorgeous blue eyes. The newest items we have bought for her include a (very) large food tray, nail clippers & file, a brush, and training treats. We will definitely be picking her up on Friday, Sept. 11th, and although it is quite a haul (4-5 hours one way!), we cannot wait to see her and bring her back to her forever home.

Can't decide if she looks innocent or guilty :)

Our precious baby!


Sweet girl
People think we are crazy getting a large dog when I am just starting back to work and we are always traveling to see our families, but we beg to differ! We have always wanted (ok, not always, but for a long time!) a great dane and have always talked about it. There is never a perfect time to do anything (have kids, for example) and when I found this breeder in South Georgia, I knew that we had to have one of her puppies asap. What are we going to do when we have to travel? Make it work! What are we going to do when we are at work? Make it work! My schedule has me working some weekends which is good because I will be at home with her on some weekdays and Chan will be loving on her all weekend. We will continue to live our wonderful lives, but we will have Shelby to tag along on our adventures!
