I have had 3 Danes now, my last went at 9. I rescued this Dane at 7mos. I talked to The great dane rescue I got her from this morning and she has some that go to 13 and 14. It is usually a short lifespan. I am hoping I have one of those this time.

It’s you call; I’m just telling you how I would make the call.
I love my dogs. I am still getting over a dog I lost a couple years ago. I still grieve for my first dog. But I personally would not put an old dog though that much trauma.
