They are so sensitive, scare them once, that's all it takes. Most of the time around here Jr.will howl to tell me to come move the cat because he will not walk by him. We lost our two senior Danes last winter, truly a unique breed, can't imagine our lives without them.
We also have a herd of deer that live in our back yard and they just think he is one of them.[/quote]
Yes very sensitive but he has been the best mannered and behaved dog we have owned and such a character, if this is his only bad trait we will still be happy with him. Our guy is terrified of his food bowl. My husband accidentally bumped him with it one morning ( at 4am I should add) when he was getting his breakfast ready and didnt realize I had let Max in the dog blended into the dark room and husband never saw him until it was to late.
