Mack is our Daniff. He is a wonderful additon to the family. Having been around dogs all my life, Mack is a pure joy. I have never seen a dog that is so interested in what we do. He insist that he is part of every activity. At a recent Halloween party for our teen age daughter he made friends with nearly 30 teenagers.

His size and personality draws attention where ever he goes. Everyone has an opinion,non dog people give him a wide berth (the very worst that he would do is to slime you), dog lovers can't pet and rub on him enough. As big as he is he is very easy to take in public, we use a harness because a choke coller is not needed. He is well mannered but very interested in meeting new people.

I would like to hear from other people that have included a Daniff in their family

So, Daisy is progressing. I got married the end of November and went on a honeymoon the beginning of December. Then My husband and I went to the Bahamas the day after Christmas. Daisy stayed with my parents and their 3 golden retrievers and one mixed dog. She did very well. I feel like every thime I get my parents to watch her, she gets taller, like she is trying to turn into golden retriever size. We wanted her to be well socialized with other dogs, so I could take her places like the park or stores that allow dogs.

I have found that when I put a shirt on Daisy, she is very calm, but when I don't she is psycho. Most of the time, my husband and I do not have a shirt on her, its when someone comes over to visit, or she won't leave the cat alone, or is just plain running around the house like a crazy dog that we do.

She is extremely active. Surprisingly she was very good with small children. I wasn't sure what to expect and she still has sharp teeth compared to the golden or our 2 miniature schnauzers. She didn't try to nip at them and was very gentile.

Daisy also has very strong back legs. she will stand up and walk to two legs by herself. The only thing we can take credit for teaching her right now is to sit, stay, no, and high-five. She will walk around the house on two legs, it's the craziest thing.

I will update more as time goes one. Things are finally getting back to normal around here. I am sick of traveling (I never thought I would say that). My husband and I decided that the next time we go anywhere, we would take our little guys, lol.
