PetLynx joins the American Kennel Club in warning people not to get starstruck!
With Great Danes taking center stage in the release of “Marmaduke,” moviegoers are reminded about the importance of making educated decisions when it comes to adding a dog to the home.
“The Great Dane Club of America hopes that anyone who sees this movie and becomes interested in having a Great Dane as a pet does their research to make sure it’s the right breed for their lifestyle,” said Dave Miller, President of the Great Dane Club of America. “Everything is bigger when you own a Great Dane. They eat a lot of food and take up a lot of space in your home and car. We recommend that families meet several full grown adult Great Danes to make sure they understand how large this breed really is.”
