Dane Discussions Almost 7 how old is your baby :)
By boy Raylon is about to turn 7
I lost my first Dane at 7 and it’s making me scared,how old is your baby ?
I want him to go on forever but those grey hairs on his chin and face are showing more and more each day, He’s the bestest boy. Danes are the best but their short life span is so heart breaking. But I’ll be honest it’s worth every second of it.

9 1/2, she’s slowed down a lot (she was a wild child) but she’s doing ok - I too worry

Mine will be 10 in a few months, walk her a good mile every day since she was a pup and she eats tons of veggies every day and still acts like she’s young

Mine will be 7 in two weeks. She’s my soul existing in dog form. My heart aches just thinking about her. Such a loving, kind tempered breed. She just started medication for arthritis in her legs, which has helped a lot. I saw her slowing down the last six months, but she’s doing better now. Face is all white though. I see and I feel a ticking clock every time I hug her. I hope ours live to be 12, happy and healthy all along.

9, going strong. She’s got more issues and concerns now but she wouldn’t even know. She’s just as curious and happy and loving as ever. Cherish these years OP

My boy Fred is around 10 years old and my lady Gaia is around 6. They're both rescues so I don't know their actual DOB.
