I love how many similarities Gus and my own Dane, Koda, share! Koda was also born in December 2015, she’s never been a chewer but she’ll go to town nibbling on her toys and bull sticks. She’s obsessed with her tennis balls and does the same batting motions Gus does 😂 she’ll put pressure on top of the ball with her ball to flip it up (like a soccer player) and catch it, then kick the ball around the yard to chase it.
She’s also afraid of plastic bags and empty plastic water bottles, and if we ever put a folded cardboard box up in a doorway to keep her out of somewhere, she won’t go near it even though she could easily blow right past it.
I love the gentle, goofy personalities of Great Danes, and I can’t wait to get another one 🥰
They're the best! :)
yep great danes rock
Most of the great Danes I have known have a favorite toy or blanket they hold in their mouth to self soothe, it's the sweetest thing to watch! Mine also "makes biscuits" with her paws like a cat! The contentment just melts my heart ❤️❤️❤️ It's definitely a "Dane thing"
Great Danes are such amazing dogs. Like Gus, my Apollo is 4 years old this year, and he is my protector. He loves most people but if my husband isn't with me and a guy tries to approach me, then Apollo will place himself between me and the guy. He doesn't growl most of the time but he will make sure they know he's got my back.
She's so beautiful!💕💕💕
Gus says thanks Daisy ☺️
I just love how chilled she is. Sound like like she is a lot like our two. They are great dogs.
Yeah cause the name is *GREAT* Dane haha
A friend of my oldest son just got a Merle puppy and named him Jupiter...haha, so like that because my baby girl Merle was Saturn.
I Soooo ❤️ your videos with Gus! We recently got a new addition to our family! Our Dane Daisy. It's always amazing how much they have the same similarities! She is only 14 wks old and seems like she's grown so much. Thank you for all of your information you put out there. You were in my research before she came to us and still currently. It's amazing to see how much Great Dane community is out there! I purchased your book as well. You both are amazing! Thank you for all your incredible information! Keep up the great work!
I love Gus 😭💞 mine isn’t much of a chewer either, which took me by surprise because he’s only 13 weeks !
You’re in luck then! 😁
I used to have a Great Dane named Gus! He was a sweetheart but he had kidney problems so he died at almost 2 years old. He was an angel! Your dog is beautiful btw!! 🤍
I have had 3 Danes and all 3 had a behavior similar to Gus's in that each them would be given a large stuffed animal and each of them would gather as much of the animal into their mouths and simply suckle on it. Each of the Danes came from different histories with 2 coming from a breeder and 1 was rescued. the stuffed animals would not be chewed or destroyed but eventually would need to be replaced because of the gobs of dried saliva on the stuffed toys. At any rate, perhaps its an innate Dane trait for calmness and feeling content. All the best for Gus and your family! Thanks for letting me share! :-)
Gus is just the most beautiful Dane!
Our great Dane Bella has her own blanket too! Lol she even brings under the covers at night.
Great Vid...My Bentley is petrified of brooms and mops, he also does not like empty plastic water bottles. It's really comical to watch him respond to a water bottle being thrown on the floor. Again, great vid, and please keep them comings! Jeff and Bentley in Utah.
Thanks Jeff, will do :)
Gus is so sweet my dream is to have a Great Dane someday. Thank you for all the Great Dane info
You’re welcome and I hope that dream comes true for you!
Gus is always so sleepy in your vids 😂
I found you on YT tonight, I subbed and spent several hours with you and Gus. Hope you're all well.
I'm on my 5th dane. He loves he's blanket also. My first loved her Barney, she loved that thing she packed it around with her for 15 years.
It’s impressive how long certain things can last while others are only around for minutes 😂
My third Dane, 2 year old Murphy, soothes himself with a blanket too. Just holds a bunch of it in his mouth, never saw anything like it before! If he’s whiney we can drape one of the three fuzzy blankets that float around the house, over him and he usually settles down.
@@amandamorrisey271 H, Amanda, my first Dane I got her from a rescue she was the only one that survived from a puppy mill and had parvo when they took the dogs out. I thought maybe it was cause she had no mother around when they took them. She was also the only one that lived out of her litter After I lost her I was so brokenhearted I said no more Danes even though she lived till she was 15 teen, the vet we always seen her said sometimes the parvo can damage there heart but see was 15 and never had any kind of health problems till then. 11 years later I lost my boxer and my husband surprised me with a male Dane puppy that looked just like my Samantha I named him Sammee he was almost 16 weeks old and was his mother and 2 sisters. And he really doesn't care for stuffed animals but loves his blankets! I just got him a super soft one a Walmart and we still cover him every night and he loves he's new blanket!! I thought about cutting it in half but I think I'll just grab a back up. Yes he is spoiled rotten along with my husband's English bulldog. But they are my fur babies. And he bunches his blankets in between he's front paws and holds them in his mouth kinda or alot like cats do and he is 6. Gotta love that big 170 lbs baby!
We have two, Hamlet is 6 and Ophelia is 3. When Hamlet was a puppy he was afraid of the dark. Both are rescues. The boss of the house is our cat Abby who trained them. We also have two other cats which the dogs are very good with .
Awwww! I have 2 danes, a two year old and three year old. Both of them suck on their blankets 💗
Tomorrow I am getting a 16 month old Blue Great Dane. I am trying to learn as much as I can about them. Daunting after having had a Basset Hound! I am looking forward to having a walking buddy though. She looks kinda like Gus with that white blaze. Poor girl is going to have to get used to a new family, I hope she adjusts well.....
Ours is horrified of the vacuum cleaner...vrmm vrmm and off she goes...💕
Gus tries to chase ours, it really doesn’t help with cleaning! Haha
@@GreatDaneCare 😂🤷♀️🤦♀️💕
Omg I want one love your videos
Glad that you're enjoying them Trysten!
I'd love to see more footage of Gus in action! I've got a Dane too, my Duke, and it would be interesting to see what mannerisms they both share. We almost named him Gus!
One of my Dane (Matilda) favorite toys is a sock. Not a sock toy, just a sock. Mine will also play with a tennis ball, bat it around, mouth throwing and kicking it.
Free toy = best toy ;)
My 3 year old rescue Dane loves to hold a tiny lil plush blanket in his mouth too!!!
It was so fun to hear about Gus, my boy Hunter does a lot of the things she does! I think one of my faves is getting other dogs to chase them at the dog park, Hunter does that all the time xD
Love the shirt!
Thought some people would get a kick out of it! :)
Could you do a video on training frustration for humans, my 4 mounth old is good but sometimes her stubbornness can be very frustrating!
My Great Dane does the same thing with his blanket!! Every since he was a puppy and he’s 6 years and 8 months now!!
You have a great story telling voice. You sound just like one of the guys on VinWIKI..
Thanks!
Sweet Gus ^^ oh boy I can't wait till I hopefully get a great dane puppy this year, hopefully the breeder phones me to pick up a puppy this summer :D But untill I do - Gus and you guys make for a great substitute :)
My 5 month old Dane does the same thing at the dog park he usually ends up being the one getting chased, well for 5 minutes until he lays down for a bit of rest haha!
The energy is short lived, especially when it’s hot!
My dane does a similar thing with a ball, except he tosses it to himself and kicks it around. It's funny to watch
It’s great to have a dog that wears themselves out 😉
Really like your videos with Gus. How do you manage to have her remain so docile during a lot of the videos?
She’s pretty chill most of the time, so nothing special that I do to film the videos
I too responded Gus to the poll 😂
It was you! Haha
Hi Zach and Gus!
Your puppy book really helped me in my research.
I was hoping for some feedback. I recently after 3 plus years I'd talking and deciding I was ready for a dog, life got in the way and a home emergency happened right before the week I was to get my girl.
I made the choice to pause adding a Dane to my family. I am struggling with the choice I made. I know it was right, but I still feel bad.
My question, how did you know Gus was the dog/Dane you wanted. I'm going after a year of a reset I can finally finally be ready. Even though one can never really be ready. Lol.
Thanks for all the content helping me learn and understand!
Samantha
She looks like our 10 month old
Funny how the can bark and try to be protective and then are scared to death of a vacuum or something like that
every time I see gus she is tired af and is resting her paws on yo lap. its adorable :) I may be getting a dane-GSD mix puppy this weekend. Not sure what that will be like lol. Im hoping for more of a dane personality. Cant afford a purebred puppy but really want a dog.
Not tired as much as she just likes to snuggle up and sleep on the couch 😉 Good luck with the pup if you do get one!
@@GreatDaneCare its so sweet :)
Hey guys hope you are well. I'd really like to know your opinion on elevated bowls vs bowls on the ground.
We use elevated, but more details on that here - greatdanecare.com/raised-dog-bowl/
My dog had a plush toy, after about a year the flashing came out and we had to throw it away. I think he stayed by the garbage for a week
Awww poor pup must have loved that toy!
What breeder is she from?! I love her so much!
So my Dane barks whenever he hears a new different sound. Usually once or twice..I've tried everything for him to stop, but he keeps doing it. Is that normal?
I miss my blue dane.
What color is Miss Gus ? She is absolutely gorgeous !!!!
Her paw is literally the size of my head
Definitely NOT small paws!
My Great Dane does the same thing
Which thing?
He’s such a leaner 😫😫🥰🥰🥰 but the other thing I was speaking of is Bentley takes my blanket and just stuffs it in his mouth and sleeps that way 🤷🏾♀️
Oh, I’m following now! Haha
How much does Gus Weigh?
Gus is ~145 pounds right now
Great Dane Care wow. It’s like a human
In more ways than one! 😂
Au..gus...ta
Have you ever had any issues with “happy tail?”
Yes, and it's a rough one to deal with...I've got another video on the channel talking about it, or you can also see the more in-depth article here -> greatdanecare.com/treat-happy-tail-syndrome/
Happy tail is also a weapon to our bodies, lol, and wipes out everything on a coffee table. That's the breaks when you get a big dog and don't crop ears and tail, terrible things to do.
She used to sleep with a blanket, that might mean that she was weaned too early.
Hey I just happen to come across this video because I like watching dog videos I’m pretty sure my kids and my dog Sam and Gus used to play together at Steve Carli Park. Sam is a chocolate.
We used to live near that park and remember Sam so it sounds like the one! 😁
What are your thoughts about the Great Dane George in Milwaukee that the court has ordered be euthanized or removed from the count because he's "a prohibited dangerous animal."?
Fluffing*
My puppy does the same thing with his blanket, he wont carry it yet but he sure chews on it
How old is the pup?
He is 14 weeks old now
Cant believe it but hes already 45 lbs, 🐖🐖 but hes still very slim when did gus fill out?
P.s. ima snag a merch shirt man I like the slogan.
She started noticeably filling in around ~12-18 months, but it was really around 2 years that the adult level of definition came through. It just takes longer than you think, and no need to rush it. They’ll get there when their body’s are ready for it 👍
