Greeting fellow Apollo Dog Owners...
OK a little about me;
Native from Arizona, yes born and raised in Phoenix, computer geek.
Now alot about TANK;
Tank is the 2nd love of my life, (would have said first but my fiancee may read this!). He is nearly 8 months old, couple days from now, and a very interesting color. I call him Harlequin but that's not really correct. His mother was a boston mantle and his father was Harlequin and merle*, TANK ended up spotted but instead of black and white, it dark chocolate, white and gray. Very different, very beautiful in my opinion. He is my third dane, other two were Fawns, one male, THOR, who lived to be 13 and had to be put down due to complications from a surgery or he might have lived longer, the other was a female, LIZ, who lived 11 years and loved to swim in my pool.
Here is a link to a website where I keep pictures of TANK;

Tank has attended basic PetSmart puppy training and knows his commands pretty well. I need to work with him more so he does them all on the first command, but still I am impressed. I wish I could train him to come on command, or stay when he has done something bad or has something in his mouth I want back, but I guess that will come with time. His mother was 165 lbs and his father 180 lbs, so I am not sure where TANK will land, although he is 125 lbs already and isn't 8 months old!
We feed him Canidae hollistic dog food and pump it up with various stuff, but not everytime e.g., boiled hamburger and rice, 1/2 can of wet dog food for flavor, leftovers, raw egg, etc... He goes in fits of eating alot to barely eating at all. All my danes have been rather finiky eaters, and I have heard others comment as well. He loves our local dog parks and going for walks, although 1.5 miles doesn't seem to wear him out as fast as it does me anymore.
