Comments

We got Martin and his brother Lewis from Southern CA. The woman that sent them to us has two deaf dogs herself, both from the same breeder. She has helped us save 3 dogs over the last year, Martin & Lewis, plus McKenzie. Lewis can see and hear, but he has a deformed ear leather, that is only about half normal size. Lewis is the active, adventurous, outgoing brother. But he is also very affectionate and sweet.

Update 3/17/10 - Lewis has been on hold because he has been slow to potty train, and he has been undersized, so we wanted to wait to neuter him until he was a bit older. Both he and his brother Martin are atypical Danes. They are on the small side and built very thin, more like a Greyhound than a Dane. Most of the dogs from this particular breeder tend to be like this, we've found. They also tend to be higher energy, and Lewis is staying true to form. He is not your typical couch potato Dane. He is your basic circus dog. He whirls and twirls at meal time, and is so quick to respond to commands that it just doesn't feel like working with your average Dane. He is very, very sweet, wants so much too please, and learns very fast. He is another prime candidate for an agility Dane, or for some sort of competition activities. He is not the sort of Dane you leave alone loose in the house all day. He needs structure and a job of some sort or he will get antsy and likely start getting into trouble. OTOH he will gladly do (or at least try his best to do) whatever you ask of him, and he simply hums with excitement and affection when he sees you. He is not for everyone, but he is a wonderful dog who will be the perfect companion for someone. And that someone will wonder how they ever lived without him. Are you that someone?

We will post additional photos of Lewis as time goes by, so check back often.
