And the fact there are "LOTS" of Great Danes in rescue. They were all
puppies at one time. Everyone of those puppy breeders thought having a
litter of GD's at the time was a good idea, and thought they were being
responsible.

Nothing has been mentioned at all, as yet, the safety network on these pups
that will prevent any of one of them from ever reaching rescue, even should
they all get an original placement.

For whatever reaon, there is not a Dane rescue org. anywhere in my area. All
of the ones I'm aware of allow applications for adoption in specific states
