Seriously though, you will not find a gentler giant!! Very intimidating to some, but there's never been a moment I've ever had to worry about her around any of the kids and family! I trust her 1000% with kids of any age. The little girl in the pic feeding her is my niece who I used to babysit while my sis was at work...and my niece would regularly lay on Gucci for naps, and as she got older would put bows in Gucci's hair! miss those days!!

Also, Gucci is now the ripe old age of 9!! Doing really well for a big breed!

These are the differences between the two patterns. Take in to consideration I'm not a geneticist.

I'm horrible with all of the patterning. I have a jubilee orpington, but she's not nearly as pretty as your jubilee patterned gal.

I may be posting some chick pictures tomorrow. I've been watching some of these crested cream legbars hatch and I'm thoroughly confused on the sex. Bielefelders are pretty straight forward auto sexing chicks... some of these legbars are just different.

A Dane did you say?? My turn to flood with inspiration!!

She is wonderful! Danes and Mastiffs are some of my favorites. When I got Loki I was about 4 weeks in to looking at Danes. Mary is actually more comfortable with a large guardian breed than she is a mid size working breed.

At one point we almost got a Neo x Eng Mastiff. A girl I worked with had the bitch but when she went to meet the stud he was in a poor living condition.

I did write one Dane breeder today. They have pups that are 9 weeks old for 600-750. Includes a the medical goodies. Beautiful blue brindle and harlequin parents.

We'll see what Mary says. Let's it sink in a bit.

How old is she? I'm not sure if it's the same, but a Mille Fleur gets "better" over time. Annie, the MF I posted had gotten much more white spots as shes grown. It's made her pattern look more intricate. I haven't really notice a change on the Orp girl, but I got her at about 5 months of age. I got Annie at a much younger age.

I think it’s the same. My Speckled Sussex is like that. More white with every molt.
