So sad...a perfect example why inexperienced owners should not breed..
This dog is deaf and blind because someone tried to breed 2 Harlequin Great Danes.

Poor puppy. I adore Danes -- will be looking for two as soon as we are ready for puppies!
What an irresponsible (not to mention idiotic) breeder.
She's a beautiful girl, and I hope she finds a really great home with the right people to take care of her special needs.
Once again - what an irresponsible, idiotic breeder.

i totally understand why the breeder should have known not to breed two of those great danes but can someone tell me why that is bad? i am very curious.

You cannot breed 2 Harlequins. It causes birth defects, as mentioned in the story. It
SHOULD be common knowledge to a breeder.

I was thinking the same thing... Obviously the breeder (though I use that term losely b/c obviously a real breeder wouldn't have done what they did) should have known not to breed the two danes but as a lesser informed individual why is it that the two danes shouldn't have been bread?
NEVERMIND! Question was answered!!

Re: So sad...a perfect example why inexperienced owners should not breed..
To get the Harlequin color, the harlequin dane must be bred to another color type with specific known dominant genes. Harlequin danes carry recessive genes that, if bred to another Harlequin would cause birth defects. The lesser defects being deafness and blindness, the more serious being death before birth.
Whoever did that is a friggin' moron and should be made to pay for that poor puppy's medical expenses and care for life.

They don't have hearts. They're just poor excuses for human beings.

Re: So sad...a perfect example why inexperienced owners should not breed..
Wow, the second post today that had touched on something that also happens in my breed. Breeding 2 dapple dachshunds carries similar risks to what you describe with the Great Dane and in some cases people don't know that their dachshund carries a dapple gene. I must sound like a crazy dachshund lady but maybe I will prevent someone from going ahead with risky breeding.
That is a beautiful Great Dane. Part of the problem is that people who have gorgeous dogs cannot see the harm in breeding them, but genetics is not just about the mom and dad being pretty!
