Great pictures Nancy! The puppies are darling and so big already. Wow!

Also I have found a site you may be interested in.

called "PetPath," (http://www.petpath.com) the free owner's manual you
never got with your pet. This is a pretty cool site--if you own a cat, a
dog, or something more exotic-or if you're a wannabe pet owner . They even
have the Doc Weil of the animal world, Dr. Alan Schoen, DVM,

Thanks for kind your comments about the pictures. I have a new set waiting to be developed. The new ones are black and white shots. I thought that with the puppies being so black that the contrast might be more defined... coming soon!
And thanks for the reference to PetPath. I'll be using it for my new owners -some great info in the PetPath Notebook

Hi! I'm not familiar with bloat but the Dog Owner's Guide has a good article. Great Danes ARE mentioned on the list of susceptible breeds.
I've copied the suggested prevention "In susceptible breeds, feed two or three meals daily and discourage rapid eating. Do not allow exercise for two hours after a meal. "

You may want to read the whole Bloat article yourself. Hope this helps!
