I have done rescue for years, and before I became a member of EBC and realized their support, I saw all breeders as adding to my rescue numbers. OF course, that is totally wrong thinking..but when you have more dogs than you can place, and not a good support system, it can make you ridged and bitter. I do know. I totally understand her and I tried to share with her how I went from where she is to where I am. I does take a village..it takes a breed club to open their hearts and wallets. It take a rescue to realize that breeders, good breeders keep the dogs we love healthy.
Its a long learning process, and thank heavens I have lived long enough to get to this.
My Great Dane Chelo
-
I've mentioned my Great Dane Chelo a couple of times. Thought I'd post some pictures of him for you all to see. He passed away last april, but he was amazing. Here he is at my mothers house and the picture in the grass is at a place called Jarabacoa, which is up in the mountains. I was working for a few months there and rented a house , ( beautifull wooden house from the 1940;s) with 42,000 meters of land around it, Im not sure how many acres that is)
I took him with me and he had the greatest time. I am so glad we got to spend his last summer in a place like that. He loved it there, and he loved being with all of us (my family and friends).

He looks like a great dog, and he was lucky to spend time in such a beautiful place, with his loving human.

Looks like a noble (and well loved animal)

Thank you, he was great and noble….it's a shame they have such short lives, although I know any amount of time is short when you have to say goodbye....
-
What a beautiful regal boy..Stunning. So sorry he passed over the bridge of rainbows already.
Thank you for sharing him with us. -
Chelo looks like he was a gentle giant. You touched each others' lives - a gift for both of you. Thank you for sharing the pictures and his story.
