I have been in France for 2 years now and arrived with my three Danes, all of whom came form Daneline in Bristol. We were a foster family with them for over 10 years , an dare now doing the same for Phoenix Rescue, however my heart still lies with the big fellars and we now have 16 acres and as we work from home, the time to continue that work here. If anybody knows of a Dane in need of support/re-homing or advice I would be more than happy to help if I can. I am based in the Northern Dordogne near Nontron. I hope this is helpful to people. Kind regards. DanesInFrance    Report

I rescued a dog from this Forum and so have many others.  Have a look at the animal rescue thread (cut and paste below) that you posted on and you will see many success stories. http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/808/ShowForum.aspx Cathy    Report

My parents still have them and I have a dear friend in Sud France who has 18 of them - she does breed for showing though!! Has many a champion amongst her collection too.    Report

Well done for rescuing 3 Danes and for helping out with Phoenix.  They do fantastic work.  I hope to hear more of you. Anne, used to be Cassie who used to be Miggimeggi    Report
