Lord Nelson

This is Lord Nelson, he is one of my current rescue Great Danes.

Nelson the Rescue Great Dane

He is 5 and a half years old and is very big and stupid. He was bought by someone who ran a tattoo shop, they used him to keep drunk people away. But the environmental health said no dogs and Nelson had to stay at home all day. He was going to a Rescue centre when we decided to rescue him, he is a hard work dog, he is a very boisterous great dane and likes to jump and leap. I take him out walking all the time, in the woods mainly.

Hello

About me and my dogs.

Great Dane Rescue

I have had Danes for only 8 years, before the Danes i had a Labrador, a German Sheppherd, and when i was young a collie. My girlfriend Jen asked if we could get a Great Dane but i had no idea what a Great Dane was at all, we called the Great Dane Rescue and went to Bristol to see some Danes. We found ourselves coming home with Harvey a very large Fawn Great Dane. He had been handed into Battersea Dogs home and suffered some fear aggression, it was hard work at first, he would growl at me and one night he cornered me in the bedroom in my pants and wouldn’t let me get back into bed. It was a battle for me to stay as Alpha dog but eventually Harvey grew to like me and bonded. He only lived a year after i had him, he sadly died of Bloat on fireworks night.

Since then we have had another four Rescue Great Danes, the next one had Wobblers, his name was Bruno , wobblers is a back / spine condition which sometimes affects Great Danes and we spent the next few years lifting him in and out of the car and lifting him up off the floor when he fell over. He had a good life and went out for many good walks, his wobblers didnt stop him going anywhere we took him everywhere with us.
