Meet Walker! We're trying it again. After we re-homed Apollo (which I never posted about because I was sad and felt like a bad person for a little while) I have been feeling like our family is missing someone(a pet, not a person). For any of you who didn't know we re-homed Apollo, we did back in September. It was best for all of us, he wasn't a good match for our family and he wasn't great with the boys. Anyway, we've found ourselves on the internet almost daily looking at dogs. We've looked at all kinds, sizes, ages, etc. We kept going back to Danes. We wanted one a little older than "puppy puppy" but young enough that it wasn't a senior! So I randomly emailed a local breeder - her site said she sometimes had older pups and young adult Danes, but they may not be posted. So I contacted her. She called me back the next day- we made an appointment to meet who she had. When we showed up he was on the screened in porch and we were expecting a much smaller dog, Adam was shocked when she said "this is him!" Walker is currently 9 months, a little over 100lbs, and stands 32 inches at his shoulder. He is so sweet and I just LOVE him. He was a pup from one of the breeder's litters last year; a family purchased him but the mom ran her company out of her home so she really worked full time I think- they asked if she could find him a new home and hated to see him go. We absolutely fell in love with handsome face and after spending about an hour with him decided we'd take him!More pictures to come :)

Woah! or I should say Neigh!! That dog is the size of a horse! He sure is handsome. But maybe 3 times will be a charm for you guys. One day I hope we get a dog too. He sure looks like fun and I bet the boys are loving having a dog. Love you guys! Can't wait to meet your new family member in May.
Have to say I was a little speechless when I first heard but like Anna, 3rd time might be the charm. He is a fine looking dog and I hope he works out. Like you might remember I'va always liked the thought (just the thought) of a Dane so it will be fun to meet him. Good luck. Love always.
I like the looks of this dog. The other one just didn't look good to me but then it wasn't mine so I didn't say. Walker just looks like a good dog. How do the boys like him? He has such a pleasing look in his eyes. Good luck with this one.
Lots of love,
Gram
mom tried the "missing someone thing too" thats how we ended up with Buffy. But not too longer later the "missing" became known as ANNA. :) He's a cutie though! Can't wait to meet him!
What a big baby! I love his coloring. He looks like he will be a "little" lover. Congratualtions on your new addition, we wish you the best of luck with him. Love You All, Uncle Mike and Aunt Donna
Our entire family has lost their minds encouraging you like this. Oh well, if you can't beat em join em. At least he didn't pounce on me when I met him. The boys seem to like this one too. So maybe it was just a matter of perseveering and finding the right match. Hope this is the case with Walker, or is it Walter? Haha
