I was told by the breeder where I got him from that too!
It's like you say Mike, they're so big they really do either hurt (as in another dog) or get on your nerves.
He's not so bad with me now as I've been telling him 'no' and only petting him when all four paws are on the ground.
Just got back from the vets and she said that 'mother nature' is doing a good job at the moment in sealing it up but if it tears open again he''ll need a couple of stitches in it and she's put him on a 5 day course of antibiotics just to be on the safe side. I've got a nice little bill for the dogs owner -£37.00 or $64.89 to you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Lisa, Just when I start talking about paws and dominance... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />This morning I asked Caleb if he was supposed to be on my bed (which he knows he is definitely NOT) as I sat down to put on my socks. I looked at him to tell him "off" and what do I get? One big paw right in the face. Now I have a nasty scratch running down the whole length of my face. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> So, don't think I was being critical in my attempted assessment of the situation. Even if it IS dominance, you're not alone! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Just thought I'd share that with you, since you were kind of beating yourself up about the situation...

My lab paws quite a bit. When you are scratching her chest she likes to hook a paw around your arm and sit up on her hind legs. No idea why she does it. She doesn't have a very dominant personality. Maybe it is something bigger dogs share. Those paws have to go somewhere. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Jenni, and I'm sorry for your face <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
Another classic he's got me with a couple of times is if I've bent down for something and he comes underneath me and then decides to get back up - 'WHAM'- RIGHT UNDER THE JAW -so your teeth clash together!!
Remember Ed saying on his DVD that his front teeth aren't his own due to something similar... I'd better watch out <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Luckily Caleb isn't tall enough to get me with that trick. He also never jumped on anyone <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. But, I've been knocked on my butt a few times for wearing stilettos on a tile floor because he felt the need to pass me!

I see my friends kids get knocked over on a regular basis by their great dane, the hors.. i mean, dog, gallops around the front yard, those big dogs dont have very good brakes, kid doesn't watch out n steps in the line of fire n BAM down for the count! n those great dane wagging tales are kids face height. They're the sweetest dogs n great with kids from an aggression standpoint, but man those horses, I mean ponies.. I mean, dogs can flatten a 3 year old <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

ha ha very funny <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
When I was looking into what breed would best suit my family and the Gt.Dane kept coming up I said to my hubby but what happens if an aggressive dog approaches us as I can't pick it up like I do with my Westies (use to)?
His reply was 'saddle it up and ride away!

I used to have a couple of Great Danes. In my experience, most aggressive dogs running lose either steered clear, or ran towards us and changed their mind before they got close enough to bite. Great Danes are intimidating dogs. Luckily for most Great Dane owners though, they don't tend to be aggressive. My male couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag unless he was really defending his own life.

My friend has a female brindle dane that's scared of pumpkins, scared of the big blue ladder, scared of flashing LED's, won't go outside to "do her business" until the construction workers leave that are working on their house, scared of the big yellow beach ball etc etc etc. Unfortunately some pet owners find it more amusing to chase their dog around with something "the big dog" is scared of, than they are interested in getting the dog to accept and neutralize to the object in question.

Who's that aimed at? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
By the way I got 'jumped and humped' earlier but he was more shocked than I was with my reaction <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
