<p>It might actually be fun and entertaining, BassDad. Our middle-aged Bichon is ferocious whenever his “cousin,” a very large 1 year old German Shepherd shows up for a visit with the inlaws. Yaps him all over the house, totally intimidates him. My dog could literally stand up underneath his cousin without touching his underside, but the seniority system is clearly understood and respected! They actually get along pretty well now, except the Shep sneaks up and empties my dog’s food and water bowls with one gulp, all day long.</p>
<p>Our Pom actually held her own when we visited my brother and his 4-year old, 90+ pound Weimaraner. I’m more concerned for the reasons concerneddad points out - a Dane pup is uncoordinated enough to constitute a safety hazard to most things, let alone something a quarter of its size.</p>
<p>Melancholy Dane or, Me-law-ncholy Dane ;-0</p>
<p>Keeping in mind that your kennel name will be followed by the dog’s (or *****'s) name, you don’t want to put “Danes” in the legal name, IMHO. For example, if your kennel is Wycliffe (to choose a name from eminent poodle heritage), it goes well with pretty much any dog name—regardless of who named the dog (and of course Wycliffe appears in the pedigree of just about every standard poodle out there).</p>
<p>The two (human) Danes that spring to mind are Hans Christian Andersson and Macbeth. Of the two, I’d go with Andersson. How about pulling a name from one of HCA’s stories?</p>
<p>dmd77: actually in the Dane world the word Dane is commonly used as a kennel name, some of my friends kennels inclue Danelind, Daynakin, DunnDane. I hear what you are saying, but in Danes it is the norm.</p>
<p>I am still liking DaneLaw</p>
