Not a Dane owner yet, but every time I talk about Great Danes, that's one of the first things someone says to me. Irritates me to no end and I see it getting worse (for me emotionally, not as in people will ask more frequently) once I have my Dane and I'm actually emotionally attached to this specific dog.
I understand Danes attract attention and a lot of "smart" comments and some questions and I'm okay with that. I just see "don't they live really short lives?" as a rude question. Yeah, and did you know some human beings with certain disorders/syndromes/etc live short lives? Doesn't make us love them less, doesn't make the parents want to "give them up".
Lol I understand that it's a bit silly that I'm so worked up over something like this. I want your guyses opinion of this "phenomenon". How do you usually handle questions like these about your furbabies? Just for fun, how do you handle the attention your dog gets in public and the common questions you get?
