Someone on the Dane forum is now responsible for a 5 month old Dane pup,
formerly owned by her sister. At 8 weeks old, when she got the pup, it was
skittish and nervous and snappy. At 5 months old, he weighs 65 pounds,
still skittish and nervous and snappy, and bit the 22 year old son who went
to pet the dog. He's now going to be living in a house with a 7 year old in
residence, and the owner seems to be under the impression that this is
something that a little TLC and training won't cure. Me, I'm not sure at
all. At least now she knows what she could be getting herself into.

I think she's an irresponsible parent, but hey, that's just me.
Undertaking a dog with issues is not for the weak of conviction. I am
also of the opinion that an 8 week old puppy with issues is more
problematic than an adult dog who has developed issues. Hardwiring and
all of that.

Still, the nastiest dog in the world, if kept in the right conditions,
will not be a threat to the public. What idiots do in their own home is
their own stupidity.
