Hello everybody, After a long absence, I thought I should intro myself a bit. If you can remember I was referred to as Napolean and flintstone but that is another story... I am finally fufilling my childhood dream of owning a Great Dane. I shall be collecting him tomorrow from a breeder in Johor. Although I had intended to get a female, I changed my mind after discussing the merits of each with the breeder. It has taken me 1 long year of searching for the right Dane with the standards and yet possess the courage that apparently had been bred out of the breed. I saw these qualities in the sire;a majestic black Dane. Although the dame is also black, my pup is fawn. I had purchased him ~2 months ago but left him with the breeder to get the ears cropped. Was told that his ears are standing now. To cater for his eventual size I am having his kennel built albeit late due to labour shortage. It will be another week or so B4 completion. So meanwhile I will crate train him which brings me to reactivate myself on this site. There will be plenty of Questions from me for which I hope will receive your kind replies. The last time I kept a dog was 11 yrs ago. So I guess you can call me a beginner. I had just visited the pet store and was startled by cost of basic like leash, clippers etc.. My other hobby is koi keeping and I am an active forum participant at Koi.com.my. Like here, at koicom, we also get together for pond visits to discuss our hobby. I happen to be smitten by dogs too like our Webmaster Khoo. I ll difinitely be joining the trainning seesions at Padang merbok as soon as I figure out the logistics and some of the informal training I have been reading about. And Arthur, I have been watching you, and must say you and Sharon amaze me with your dedication to your 3 kids and the prizes!!! Congrats Sorry you cudnt come to my place with Sharon. B4 I kill you with curiosity, I am your former neighbour! My kids are waiting for your 1st litter. An open invitation to our consultant Mr Derrick Kok: This forum has flourished tremendously in terms of participants and activity since and I think it is in need of your wisdom once again. Mr Kok, this forum misses your expertise, advice, mentoring on all matters relating to canine. I observe that you have been visiting the forum but have chosen to observe only. What say you ?Let the past be and come on back. I know I have no standing here but what the heck, I extend you my hand of friendship anyway and pls come back
