Salazar
(Salazar Loki when he's in trouble) is a male blue harlequin
(merlequin) purebred Euro Great Dane. He came from a Ft. Bragg soldier who was
moving and couldn't take him with. When I first got him at seven months of age,
his name was Sebastian. He didn't know his name, no manners, untrained, and
needed some grooming, but otherwise healthy and happy. At seven months he
weighed 110 pound. While I was searching for a great dane, his owner had
called me, seeing my post on Craigslist, asking if I was interested in him.
When I said yes, but needed a few weeks to get up the money for his "rehome
fee", the man went to someone else and I thought I had lost the chance of
getting Salazar. A few weeks later, I came across a new post with the same
Great Dane saying he needed a home before December. From October until
November 21st-ish, I sold and worked my butt off until I had the money for
Salazar and finally got my dream dog. Now, he knows the "sit" command. Any
one with a Dane will tell you, training them when they are small and young is
the best you can do. Training with they weigh more than you do is a
challenge, but Salazar is doing fairly well, though he can be quite stubborn
at times. (What dog isn't?)
At his old home, his best friend was a female blue Doberman Pinscher. Each
time he sees any Doberman in public, he automatically wants to play and be
friends. Smaller dogs, like tea cups, and toy dogs, etc, he's not too fond of
and often shies away from them. At his current home, his best friend is a
female Lab/Pug mix. Once I get my own place, I'm going to get him another
Doberman friend.
His favorite snacks include sweet potatoes, carrots, and plain yogurt.
Nicknames include "Sal", "horse", and "gigantor". Coincidentally, he and I
both have the same birthday in March, which I had no clue about until I
looked at his vet papers when I first got him. Now he is an eleven-month-old
giant of a dog who loves playing, sleeping, and sitting on people, and is
still growing.
Here is a video of him being lazy.
