So I was at the park the othere night and met two guys who both owned full grown "Goliath great danes." They noticed andross was a dane and came over right away to talk to me. First they are nice about andross but as the time passes the start commenting on how "small" he is. Mind you andross is actually taller than one of the GGDs and the same height as the othere. so it went on blah blah blah goliath great danes are better blah blah. I was trying to keep my cool obviously they were undereducated and bought from a BYB unknowingly probably i didn't know really. I really was trying not to care about the whole bigger is better convo. Then one said that both GGDs were over 4,500$ I said wait are you sure they are not European great danes?? they replied nope they are Goliath great danes one of the most expensive dogs to own. Finally I asked...What is a Goliath Great dane???? he said its a mastiff mixed with a great dane I don't know why i just must be a really tactless person but the next sentence i said came flying out of my mouth so quick i didn't have time to stop myself.
I replied. "Wow so you bought yourselves some very expesnive mutts!" (ya im evil) I then said sorry but the man went on to tell me that they are not mutts there Goliath danes. blah blah. I ended the playdate with "has anyone told you that when you mix two different breeds together they are not a new breed?" then i just left because you know I really don't like trying to bring out a negative down fall in another dog because they seemed like great dogs. its just the owner was a bit uneducated.
So anyone else heard of a Goliath dane???
One last story...
Sorry one more thing that has nothing to do with this. When i was at the vet with andross the othere day one of the vet techs made fun of his size she really pissed me off!! I told her he is perfect she replied with "don't you think he would be so much cooler if he was one of those really tall danes?" it kind of made me sad and mad because i always thought andross was a pretty cool dog anyways. My poor boy at least he doesn't get what they were saying. Sorry that was so random but i needed to vent about that.
