Edison, the Dog of the Day
Name: Edison
Age: Ten months old
Gender: Male Breed: Great Dane
Home: Iowa, USA
 
   This is my Great Dane, Edison - usually called Eddie, for short. He is seven months old in this photo but is now almost ten months, too tall to straddle and weighs 150-160 (can't get him on a scale). Eddie's a Harlequin (black and white) Great Dane with one blue eye and one brown eye. Eddie likes to play ball, go for walks in the neighborhood but especially loves to chase critters - fliers or hoppers (butterflies, birds and bunnies).

    I purchased Eddie from a reputable, local breeder last summer when he was just two weeks old and took him home at six weeks when he weighed sixteen pounds. We are very close and every day, I look forward to going home just to see him!

    Great Danes are one of the largest breeds of dogs, but when you have them as puppies and watch them grow up, it's not as big of an adjustment, I don't think. I'm in love with this breed of dog and can't imagine ever having anything else. Their disposition is sweet, gentle and loyal, regardless of their size. Edison is just great.
