Personality: Xander is very sweet and gentle. He is shy and a momma's boy. Xander is extremely intellegent. He

"came" potty trained as a puppy, and has never had an accident in the house. He instantly learned to go to the door and whine to go out.

I have never seen a puppy potty train so easily. He learned general obedience commands very easily, with little training.

He is very affectionate and is gentle with the kids and the cats. Xander loves to sneak up in the bed (when Daddy is not looking, or when

Brian leaves for work in the morning). He loves to be around people and tends to follow us around the house anywhere we go. Xander is

very laid back and has always been very calm. He had never "acted like a puppy" or chewed up anything, like puppies tend to do. He is

very obedient and acts more like an adult than a puppy. Xander has HUGE bone structure and very big lips. He is our biggest dane and also

youngest. Xander is 38 inches tall to the shoulder and around 165-170 pounds and growing. He has been a blood donor

at the veterinary hospital that I work at, and will continue to donate blood to pets in need. We would like to thank

Slavi Poerš from Valvasor's Land in Slovenia for this beautiful boy.
