Very cute, I think I have seen this puppy or one just like it. I have a friend that trains deaf boxers and I think I have seen her post about this puppy.

Wow that would be a small world, I do know he has been fostered for 2 months and haven't found a good home for him I am soooo excited. I read that white great dane's are deaf alot.

I keep staring at those paws! There will be no leftover food on your counters when that bad boy grows up.

I know, I know.....If he weighs 150 full grown, our house will have 380 pounds of dogs lol. But when we had this house built we had multiple dogs in mind. The first floor is 2,500 sq feet and all stone tile. And we have plenty of yard to run.

Beautiful! I love Great Danes, are you goig to crop his ears? It is the blue eyes, if a white cat or dog has blue eyes they are usually deaf, not alway but most times.
Here is an update picture of Tamerah, now 11 weeks old.

No I'm not gonna crop his ears, Flower every time I look at you dog I think she is one of the best looking shepard's I have seen!
Beth- I'm actually meeting him for the first time in a couple of hours, so I'm just taking the foster ladie's word for it. I have read it is very common in white dane's though.

He's not completely white, so hopefully, he's not. Though, I'm sure the foster mom, should know.
They say white cats with blue eyes are deaf, but I had a white cat with both eyes sky blue, and he could hear very well.

Yes he is going to be big. Please do some research of feeding great dane puppies. It can make a differance is growth and bones strength.

Ditto...I had a beautiful white cat with blue eyes and he wasn't deaf either, the vet was surprised when he seen him. He is the one who said they are usually deaf.

I have had him for a couple hours and he can hear me whistle! I'm excited that will make it easier to train him.
I have read alot of dogs that are born white with blue eyes they put down at birth, so sad.

Oh, I thought the title was puppy, you mean a PONY !!
I LOVE danes. Sweetest creatures on the planet. My aunt has had a few of them (sadly they don't have a long life span)
First one was a white with black spots. Pebbles was her name. She ended up being a therapy dog. Her next was Elvis. Brindled and he took charge of my son the second Peter could crawl. Elvis was so gentle with him and never took his eyes off of my son.
Can't wait for more pics!!
