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. Martin is deaf and his long distance eyesight is not perfect, but he sees just fine otherwise. He is the calmer of the two brothers and the more cuddly, but he is also the boss of the two.

Update 3/17/10 - Martin has been on hold because 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 Martin is staying true to form, though perhaps not quite as much so as Lewis. He is not your typical couch potato Dane. He is very, very sweet, wants so much too please. Once he learns something, it is there forever. 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. 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  Martin as time goes by, so check back often.
