Otis is our newest addition! He's definitely a handful, but that's exactly what we expected. His favorite things to do are playing on the floor with all toys at once for hours on end, ripping the stuffing out and stealing the bones right out of his best friend, Littlefoot's, mouth. He loves a million walks a day to meet as many humans and dogs as he can. He's been doing really well with potty training - he's almost got it down at 10 1/2 weeks old. He loves to give kisses and is a big talker when he doesn't think you're listening. He's learned to sit and shake without much coaching, too! Otis will soon be a very big boy, just like his best friend. We can't wait to see who will be the biggest! He is definitely a goofy character - I can't seem to capture enough pictures!
Otis, you gigantic love puppy!! I fell for you right away, and wish I could feel you lean against me and give me a BIG kiss! I wish you many years of happiness with your people and your friends. Kisses, cuddles, and cookies from Cara...

I like the "WHO ME" look in this pic.! All of his pictures are adorable and trust me...you will never have enough pictures...LOL!!! Otis is a very pretty puppy and sounds like a delightful FOREVER FRIEND!!!!
OMIGOSH Otis is adorable. Look at those ears! Those lovely eyes! Those spots! Those HUGE feet! Absolute puppy perfection! Biscuits and bellyrubs from Pam in Toronto.
How lucky you are! My neighbors have danes and they are the funniest dogs I have ever met. Enjoy your new addition. He will keep you laughing!
I think Otis knows hes cute! He is certainly not camera shy. What a gorgeous puppy - he sounds like fun.
One of the cutest dogs I have ever seen! I have always loved great danes and this one has great coloring! He is going to grow into a very handsome dog! Congrats!!
Otis, you are a hansom boy. I don't normally like Great Danes, but there are 4 of them living in the same neighbor hood I live in and they are just HUGE babies, they are so cute when they play, and they play for hours at a time. You are going to get rather large, but are always going to be a little puppy at heart. I wish you and your family many happy years together, and millions of cookies. OH and lots and lots of belly rubs.
Wow, what a gorgeous, handsome puppy Otis is, I would love to cuddle him! His colouring is just beautiful and his eyes are mesmerising. Otis I love you! Hugs and kisses babe, and 11+++ biscuits xxxx
Otis you sure are a handsome boy. Love the pictures. Enjoy enjoy your new baby and many happy years.A big hug to you Otis
Otis, are you a goofy boy? I love your floppy ears, splotchy markings and cute pinkish nose! You are going to grow up to be a big goofy boy! Many belly rubs and biscuits to you Otis!
Otis you are so cute! I hope you have many happy and healthy years together with your humans. I can tell you'll be big boy with those paws. Much love and bicuits to you!
Otis! Let me make the long story short: I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU! Blessings from NY with all the biscuits you can eat!
Wow......Otis you are very cute!!! I am a small dog human, but if I could get a bigger dog, I would definately want to go for a Great Dane!!! You are so handsome and it sounds like you are very happy!!! :)
It love everything about Otis, including his name. I'm definitely a big dog person and I'd snap up one just like you, Otis, in a second if I could. A truckload of biscuits for Otis!
Otis, you are a good lookin' guy! Know you will grow to be a big healthy happy fella. Wishing you a long, happy and healthy life with lots of walks and romping!
Oh, I love this Olly Dane. Miss Katie would love to romp with him. She loved zooming around the back yard at our home when she was this age. His eyes are so beautiful, as is he. Big Hugs & Love from Elizabeth & Dane Miss Katie =O)
You have a very lovable and precious little pup there. Have you tried a Martingale collar yet and, maybe, a harness (Sensa-tion Harness with front ring). They both work just as well as those painful chain collars but cannot do any major damage to the dog's throat. Enjoy that gorgeous fellow, Danes are wonderful dogs.
Otis, you are so beautiful. You are posing in this picture like you know it too. I love your ears. Please do not clip them but leave them floppy. Big hugs and big kisses to a big puppy. I wish you a very long, happy and healthy life.
LOVE all the pics, but how about this one: http://www. dailypuppy.com/member/28c1cc2ea4/al bum/11589/photo/117738 3; Oh my. Cuter than CUTE.
What a beautiful dog. I have a 9 and 1/2 month old great dane as well and seeing Otis reminds me of how mine used to look. How exciting for you. He's absolutely gorgeous!!!
Otis, I love those eyes and that cute black and pink nose. Have fun baby. I'm glad you have a friend, Littlefoot, to play with and a nice family to live with.
Magnificent! This is a gorgeous baby, those eyes and coloring.....just breath taking. I could stare at him all day and still be amazed, he is a show stopper. This is my dream dog, someday I will have a Great Dane, enjoy this amazing creature. :) Kisses and belly rubs.
He's just beautiful!! I love those eyes, you're very lucky to have such an awesome looking Dane!! I myself am Dane mom, so I understand whatcha got yourself into!! hehe!! :) All the cookies for Mr. Otis!! Kisses from Brixa and Mom!!
It was hard to choose a favorite picture of this handsome guy but, in the end, I just couldn't resist his expression in this picture! Otis, loads of biscuits to you!
Otis, you are a stunning, captivating puppy! Your parents are great photographers! Mix all of the above together and you get, "just the cutest dawg-gone Dane I've ever seen!" It must be wonderful and comical to see you and Littlefoot playing. Enjoy!!!!
What a cute guy Otis is, and your right he will be huge. Great Danes are such wonderful dogs. Enjoy him, he is beautiful.
"I'm just stoppin to smell the flowers mom". Otis is pretty dern cute. He's going to be horse size it looks like by the size of them there paws. Danes are wonderful dogs though, so I wish you many years of love.
You dog is going to get so big! He will really let his presence be known when he is in the room. Lucky you, you have lots of puppy to love.
I haven't left comments for awhile, but i got this one in my mail and had to Say He is beautiful.. he will be so much fun. Must be great to have 2 danes!! 10000 bones to both your babies..
It was defintely hard to select a favorite picture today because Otis is one big cutie! I just love his expression and the fact that his ears and tail are intack. Here's wishing you many big dog hugs and kisses for years to come!
Aawh you gotta sniff the wild flowers. Good thinking sweetie- the girls will go nuts for you someday.
Otis is a charmer, all right. I can see why you're in love! May you have many hapy years to love each other.
Holy cuteness Batman!! And those giant paws. He will be a BIG boy!! But GD's are so good natured and gently, he'll be no problem.
OMG, it was sooooo hard to pick just one favorite photo of Otis because they're all so great. He's GORGEOUS! Oh, how I wish I could play with him and give him a big hug!!!! I love Danes. He's awesome and I wish him a lifetime of good health and happiness!
Stunning! Such an amazingly gorgeous breed! What a handsome man you have there--and he sounds like a smart one too. He's a beauty--tons of big boy biscuits to you Otis. Don't wear out your family!! : ) Long, healthy life to ya.
LOL! I can just picture him running around with that awkward, gangly gait that Dane puppies have. He's adorable!
He's not just cute, he's beautiful. Eleven billion biscuits to him, and many happy years to you all.
Look at those enromous legs and feet! He is going to be monstrous... start stocking the dogfood now!
Beautiful pup. I had a harlequin dane female. She was my sweet Harley Josephine. There will never be another one like her. Much like Otis but 1 blu and 1 brown eye. Many happy years with both your babies! Biscuits and tummy rubs to both. Give them a kiss for me PLEASE!
Otis is stunning. I love Great Danes, they are gentle giants. Otis photographs beautifully. A great book/true story to read which is about a man and his Great Dane.The book is called Amazing Gracie, you won't put it down. A must read for any dog lover. Sasha and Sebastian's Mom
i love great danes even though he doesnt look very big now he will be big eventualy! lots of biscuts and bellyrubs to you. maggie from new brunswick.
Otis, you are one cool-lookin' Great Dane. Your color patterns are wonderful and I love those beautiful eyes. One of these days, you'll be as big as a pony, I betcha. Yeah, boy! :o) I think it's cool how you talk. I've heard other big dogs talk and it's so cute and funny to hear. I'll bet you even say real words before too long. Sure, you will! Otis, I pray God gives you a wonderful, happy and healthy life, one filled with great places to run and play and act all goofy and such, with lots of other dogs to play with and the love of those who have been privileged to be called your loved ones, this from your ol' Uncle Jim in Kentucky, with lots of kissies and side-tickles, too. Wish I could hear you talk but I have a good imagination. Wow, Otis, but you are one BIG boy! :o)
What a beautiful boy!I'm glad to see his ears are not cropped!My brother has a female and she is the first Great Dane I've met and absolutely fell in love with the breed!What loving and intelligent dogs they are!Much love and happiness to you and the family!
Should have named Him Flower. Soo beautiful He looks like He is smeeling the flowers. what a playful little baby! LUCKY
Here Here to Otis!!! A toast to him! For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow............
"...if I stand very still - no one will notice see me..." Not very likely Otis - how could we ever miss that handsome face and that regal stance. Grow big and be GREAT!
What a gorgeous boy he is! Love his coloring,his name and ALL his pictures.He looks like Marmaduke,the cartoon Great Dane.Otis,you be a sweet boy and watch out for what is underneath those feet of yours!
Otis, I love you!! What a handsome boy...and those eyes, ahhhhh, so sweet!! I hope you have a wonderful life! Truckload of biscuits coming your way! XOXOXOXO
Just a comment for 99dogs: what Otis is wearing IS a Martingale collar. A choke chain has only one loop while a Martingale, as pictured here, has two thus limiting the amount of possible constriction of the neck. I volunteer at the Humane Society and while we generally use Gentle Leaders, dogs whose heads cannot fit a Gentle Leader or who are headshy receive a Martingale. Most dogs prefer them to the Gentle Leader and if it is fit correctly it should not hurt them.
Pictures are all beautiful but this is my favorite, Otis you look very regal here, you are a most handsome boy. I can't imagine how big you are going to get. Beautiful eyes!!!
"I'm sweet and innocent, wasn't me!" SOoo cute ! I just got engaged and my fiance promised we could get a Dane for 'our' first pet together! I was raising/training my son's Dobie for 18 months and miss him so much! I do think a Dane will be easier. Much happiness together !
I get to be the first to say YAY! What a cutie! I never thought I would like great danes so much lately, I just love them. And Otis is extra great!!!
