I once worked with a woman who bred Great Danes. She told me that they make great apartment pets cause they are nothing but couch potatoes.

There's a lady in our agility club who runs a Harlequin Great Dane. The dog does seem to be quiet and sedate (at least compared to my crazy bouncing Lab) but consider the quantity of food -- and what goes in must come out . . .

I just don't see it. I want my dog to be small enough for me to pick her up and put her on the vet's examining table or in the back of the truck (although she's perfectly capable of jumping up onto either one).

Great Danes and greyhounds both make better apartment pets than one would think.

Maybe it's the opposite of what we thought. I have had little dogs, and they love to roam fields and woods (always on a leash and with a waste bag) - the wilder the better.
