  • GD clubs in Houston??

    Well im from Houston TX (east houston). I only know one person that has a dane and hes an aggressive dog so Emma cant play with him. Just wanted to see if there are more people from Houston on this site that would like to get together one day.... If there are any, can you guide me in the right direction.

    Thanks.

    I don't know if there are any other ppl on DOL from Houston, but I do know of a lot of Dane owners in the Houston area. I am from the Austin area...

        This is timely.

        I live in Houston (inside the loop), and we will be welcoming our first dane in the spring.

        The GDC Houston doesn't seem to have a website right now, so I emailed the contact on the GDCA website. I'll let you know if she gets back to me.

        I would love to meet some fellow dane owners in the area. Hopefully we'll get some bites = )

            Vixman, there is a Great Dane meetup group in Deerpark and in Pasadena that meets every 2 weeks!

            It would be neat to get them together. I am in Northeast Houtson

                      Just got an email from the GDC Houston secretary. She said the new website should be up by January and that she would email me some additional info when she gets home after this weekend.

                      I'll keep you posted.

                      And I would love to join a meetup in the area once our pup is old enough for a romp with the big guys = )

                          Emmy and I would also be interested in a meeting. We have one other dog that we rescued and she came with some social issue that i'm worried emmy may have picked up on. I have one friend in Baytown that has a great dane and they are best buddies. But I think she'd like to play with people her own "size." I've taken her to dog parks in my area but the majority of the dogs around here are small in comparison, so their owners try to keep their dogs away from her. So to avoid hurting her feelings we've stopped going to dog parks and we go on long walks around the neightborhood. Oh and she loves babies! Babies equal cookie factories to her.
