Edison, the Dog of the Day
Name: Edison
Age: Six weeks old
Gender: Male Breed: Great Dane
Home: Quad Cities, Illinois, USA
 
   This is Edison, our six week old Great Dane. Edison, or Eddie for short, is our third Great Dane and his coat is called Harlequin. We love this breed so much that we brought another into our family. Our other two Danes are Merles, which are grey and black, named Duke and Luci. We live in the Quad Cities, a metropolis in northwest Illinois and have a moderate sized home.

    Many people think that Great Danes require a lot of room, however, Great Danes have grown in popularity for their adaptability to being apartment dogs. They do like to wrestle with each other, which does require some room, but often times, we take them to our local park to get in some exercise.

    Little Eddie has been mistaken for a Dalmatian and although it would set him apart if we had his ears cropped, we feel it's an unnecessary surgery and besides, we love the natural ears. Once he's full grown, he'll weigh around 180 pounds, so by then, it will be obvious that he's not anything other than what he is - a beautiful Great Dane.
