UPDATED BREED COAT COLOR GENETICS ARTICLE

CHARM is featured in the AKC Gazette!

THE TIDE HAS TURNED (by Paddy Magnuson)

"A couple of years ago I wrote the column "Apollo of Dogdom Comes Out of the Closet." In the column, I indicated that Great Dane breeders had entered a new phase: They were pursuing the "Apollo" analogy beyond the perfection of youth and beautyy--their Danes also had to live up to the many other virtues of the god Apollo, including his vitality, athleticism, mentality, and intelligence--and boy have they succeeded! The many AKC companion events now available have encouraged our Daneites to reach even greater achievements than they imagined possible. Whether in obedience, tracking, agility, rally, or therapy certification, a great number of our breed now have these multiple titles, and many are reaching even further into nontraditional activities such as weight pulling, flyball, and even dock diving.

"A young mantle Dane, Chroma Three Times Charmed, TD, RN, recently beat her own world record--jumping 18 feet in dock diving! This versatile Dane is also a Canine Good Citizen and is Therapy Dog...certified. She is owned by the very talented trainer Terri Mathias. Terri should be congratulated for such great achievements, and for showing the world that our breed has exceptional abilities and needs only to be given the opportunity to reach its potential. Indeed, I think the interest in the AKC companion events now being indulged in by many breeders, producing many multi-titled animals, is a positive trend and may aid in the betterment of all breeds....." CLICK HERE TO SEE CHARM!

OUT of a sterling field of five outstanding Danes nominated by the GDCA, PIRATE has been chosen by the OFA as the first ever Great Dane awarded the "CHAMPIONS OF HEALTH" certification! Click here for details.

Fare thee well & safe journey my Tia...

So there's your saddle...

How many times do we we Dane owners get asked<G>that? Well thanks to Rocking S Pony Express out of Lubbock TX, the answer is "right here" as they had a saddle that fit Pirate just fine. They did say they had ponies smaller than Pirate...

We spent Sunday afternoon at Stanton's "Old Sorehead Days"--a weekend 3X a year where this wonderful small town in West Texas has an old-style country fair & trade days festival with great food, great folks, lots of wonderful music & things to see, do & buy.
