Charlie is so cute!

First of all, that picture of Charlie could NOT be cuter! He is a doll! I love Great Danes - they're so regal. To see so many in one place would definitely be cool.

Charlie is still the best looking one in the crowd

WOW! That's a whole lot of DOG in one place! ;-)

My little guy Oliver came with me to my parents' house in December and met their Great Dane Lucy for the first time. I'm not convinced he knew what kind of animal she was! There were unfortunately not many "puppy kindergarten" classes near my home in France when Oliver was a tiny pup, and following the advice of those warning against the dangers of parvo and other disease, I kept Oliver inside for several weeks after he came home. While I would of course recommend you exercise caution and good judgement, I would never repeat what I did. Even once I let him outside finally, I wouldn't let him interact with neighborhood dogs much. Of course, this means that he was incredibly hesitant to embrace big ol' Lucy! He must have barked for 40 minutes straight! Fortunately, he was only about 6 months old and still able to learn that other dogs weren't a threat :-)

Now Oliver and Lucy are the best of friends! We'll have to let Charlie know the gentle giants are fun to play with ;-)

Awww Chawlie da big dawgs are mo fun ta pway wit I hab a girl fwiend who libs behind ma howse and she is a grand dame and her name is Maggie I lubs her so much we pway at da fence awl da time I dow eben come up to her knee cabs. Aussi

Poor Aussi has looked for her everyday the past few weeks her people just had twin so she is at the farm for a few weeks until life gets back to normal for them he misses her sooo much he looks so sad when he runs to the back to find her and sees that she isn't there.

I love Scruffy dogs which is good cause Aussi is almost always in need of a good groom Charlie is always a very handsome guy I Charlie

What fun! Charlie I bet those big dogs would have loved playing with you... they probably would have thought you were a Great Dane puppy... just with more hair!

Gorgeous photos !!! What a cutie pie

Great pics, specially the one of Charlie of course! Lottie loves big hairy dogs, she hasn't met a Dane yet, but she loves the Beardies and Bernese at ringcraft, to the extent that I have to watch her while practising triangles because she makes a sudden dive towards them!

Charlie I can vouch from experience that Great Dane's make wonderful playmates for cockers! My uncle used to breed Great Danes and at the time he had a buff cocker named Annie. She used to love to play with them all, but they all knew she was the boss.
