Blue Great Dane

Culseandanes Brutus Blue
aka Leo
Still needing to grow into that body as he is a big lad. 

A few facts about Blues 

both parents must carry the recessive "blue" gene to have blue pups. 

black x blue breeding will produce both colours but if there is ones with more white its to do with what is in the ancestory of the past from both parents not just one. So watch out for an odd coloured one. 

Blues have harder nails than the other colours.

Blues take longer to grow and mature.

Blues are prone to ear infections. 

White on the chest and toes is allowed in the UK but frown upon in other countries. 

Miscellanous fact for all breeds
 In Germany pups are not shown till 9 months unlike the 6 months in the UK and 4 months in Ireland.
