Shouldn't be too tough to find can't be that many danes around. Maybe local vets may have some info on dane owners in the area.

Can't imagine parting with the boys that way

You'd be surprised at how many danes are at sandy beach / river park daily, that's where I take cody for his walks. Must be 30+ that I see regularly (and you just can't miss them).

For those of us who are ignorant - just what color is blue?

That is terrible! That dog owner should be prosecuted - and to leave is just not understandable. I can think of a few things that should probably happen to her but won't mention them - use your own imagination.

Andy it's a steely grey http://www.usfreeads.com/360330-cls.html

The vets won't release info but the breeder looking after this is well known in the dog community for many years and will be talking to the Great Dane Club in Calgary.

I suppose its highly doubtful she'll go back there for a while, so she may be walking him elsewhere.

By the way, the one chomp complete took in the Ridgebacks entire hindquarters, from top of tail to scrotum. Pretty scary when you think of a smaller dog.

As a future Great Dane owner, (sometime within the next 40 years, hopefully), I am concerned to hear that a Dane would have done this.
They are normally quite docile aren't they?
This is unusual for a Great Dane, right?

Good luck in your investigation.

It is unfortunate dog owners don't take responsibility for their pets actions these days. I hope the owner of the Great Dane doesn't get away with this.

Normaly docile, but I have seen a few that where the opposite.

I can also say that I myself have never seen an incredibly obedient Great Dane either. (None that seemed low maintanance for handling.)

This is not a fact, but just my own observation.
