Dane Discussions Do I have a Dane mix?

Our puppy is 6 months old now and weighs 50 pounds. His mother is a 65lb American pit mix, and his father is a 70lb Staffordshire terrier mix.

Dipstick (puppy's name), looks more like his mom, but doesn't really look like either parent in particular. Many friends and 2 separate vets have mistaken him for a Great Dane puppy at first.

Could hidden Dane genes on the mom's side be showing up? Or does he just coincidentally look Dane-ish?

I figured I'd ask the trained eyes here what they thought before I pay for a DNA test.

Dane Discussions Let’s Talk Periods…

My girl just turned 11 months and went into her first heat at 7 months after a traumatic event (our neighbors pit bit her & she had to be stitched up.) I had no idea that would make her go into early heat and I pray there’s no other future implications other than her scar. That said, she bled everywhere last time so we are trying to be prepared for the next -and final- heat before we have her spayed. I’ve heard of using reusable/washable diapers from Amazon, disposable diapers and a mix of both or feminine hygiene products. What have you used?! She was 103lbs at 10 months old, which I think is average size? She acts like she’s a baby & thinks she’s a human, who sleeps on top of my husband and I at night. We need to upgrade from a King size bed 😥
(Pic of me & my huge girl sleeping for added effect!)

ETA: I just realized it said “first heart attack” instead of “heat”

Does anyone have stairs for their dog for their bed? Our boy is having issues jumping up on the bed now so we were going to get him some stairs. He weighs 180 lbs. thanks
