This is my new baby. She is a harlequin great dane. I got her from a breeder @ 6weeks. Here's some pix of her now and when she was itsty bitsy.

She's adorable! I can't believe she's sixty pounds at four months! Wow!

She is so cute. I never knew that great danes changed their spots as they grew.

That's one fine looking puppy, she's going to be a beauty queen when she grows up!

erl1391: I cant believe it either! shes huge!
all-creatures-great-and-small: Im not 100% thats her as a baby, thats what her breeder sent me of her.
angeeleeta: Im glad you like her! Isnt she a beautie? yes

Gorgeous! I am curious about the changing spots...I know spots can show up over time (ie in Dalmations), but it seems odd they disappear or merge. Is this exclusive to Danes?

gspmom_ginger wrote in the previous post that he/she wasn't sure if the baby pictures were actually the same dog as the juvinile pictures. I actully had a similar question, and I think it would be interesting to learn how haliquins develop their spots as they grow.

Wow! My baby girl(a 15-week golden retriever) is only 24 pounds at alomost 4 months. What a pretty baby girl!

I was so close to getting 2 Great Dane puppies, I had them in my arms in the car, but the dude couldn't take checks. we siad we'd call them later, but we never did and then ended up with 2 Bouviers

I love your dog she is sooo cute!!!!! whats her name?

I LOVE YOUR DOG!! Keep up the good nutrition, and she'll be that sleek foreva!! Beautiful doggie!!!

Beautiful dane! Amazing that it was ever that tiny!

Beautiful Danes. I have three of my own and co-own a fourth. I have a Harlequin, a Mantle Merle, and two Black.

HARLEQUIN SPOTS- Generally, Harlequins spots do not change that much from when they're pups. Sometimes, they get a few more or some get slightly larger, but that's what tends to be the trend. The same goes with Merle Danes.

Beauitiful Dog! I've always wanted to get a Great Dane* The only reason I don't have one now is because I want a dog that lives a long time. It's hard for me when pets die. I love big dogs! I've never seen a Dane quite like that one* Gorgeous!

Oh, just in case I wasn't clear.

The little baby pup is definately not your dog. Spots don't disappear like that. Maybe your breeder can look for her pictures?

(My Harley boy is very heavily marked, but he's been like that since he was a pup. His name is Chaucer and he's just over a year old.)

If you ever need any Dane info, please feel free to ask.
