About Ken Humphries
Expertise
I have only four geat danes now, all fawn, although I have had brindles in the past. I have had them for 34 years and am an international judge of danes, I breed them occasionally and show them most weekends. I also organise seminars and lecture on Kennel Club regulations, how to judge dogs, canine anatomy, movement and stewarding at shows. I am on the committees of National Working & Pastoral Breeds, Midland & West of England Great Dane Club organising shows and I was chairman of Stratford Canine Society.

Experience
I have had up to 20 great danes at any one time, fawn, brindle and blue,in the past. I have had them for 34 years and am an international judge of danes, I have judged the championship show of the Great Dane Club of South Australia. I breed them occasionally and show them most weekends. I also organise seminars for novice judges and instruct them on Kennel Club regulations and construction and movement. A dane we bred and that I showed took the best dog award at Crufts.

Topic: Great Danes



Expert: Ken Humphries

Subject: 9 month old great dane

Question
I have a 9month old male Dane...getting neutered in 9 days...he has suddenly become aggressive with people that come to our home.  He is normally very sweet and loving until this happens.  I am worried since I have kids that he will end up biting someone that comes in our house.  Please advise.

Thank you.

Answer
Castration may cure him but it is unlikely in my experience.  Watch him closely and if it continues he will have to be muzzled or put to sleep.  An agressive dane is a definite no no.

He may have something organically wrong which is incurable.

Ken
