Here's what the humans have to say about me:
STERLING***CONTACT SHELLY lovedogs.rescue@gmail.com STERLING--ONE MAJESTIC, GORGEOUS "GENTLE GIANT"!!! STERLING IS A 1 1/2 YR. OLD, 110 LB.(AND GAINING), GREAT DANE MIX FELLOW, WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT OTHER BREED STERLING IS A COMBINATION OF ALL WE KNOW IS THERE SHOULD BE MORE IF THEM. HE IS ONE "SHOW STOPPING" FELLOW!!! IN FACT OUR SOUTHERN JEWEL DIRECTOR MADE THE COMMENT "THIS PUP IS SO BEAUTIFUL HE WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY. HE GIVES TRUE MEANING TO THE TERM "GENTLE GIANT" AS HE IS THE MOST GENTLE, LOVING PUP I HAVE SEEN". STERLING IS A COMBINATION OF GRANDEUR, GOOD NATURE, ALERTNESS AND DOCILITY. HIS APPEARANCE IS JUST STRIKING. HIS COAT IS FLAWLESS, A SMOKEY SLATE GRAY, FAWN COLOR ACCENTED WITH SPLASHES OF "HIGH GLOSS" BLACK, THIS COLORATION IN THE GREAT DANE BREED IS REFERRED TO AS "MERLE". STERLING'S MARKINGS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL HE LOOKS LIKE HE WAS HAND PAINTED. HE ALSO IS AN EXQUISITELY BUILT GUY WITH A CLEARLY ETCHED HEAD, NOW ADD A GENTLE, KIND "I LOVE YOU" LOOK, THIS PUP WILL MELT YOUR HEART!!! HIS EYES ARE A DEEP GOLDEN COLOR WITH A LOOK THAT TRULY SAYS "LOVE ME", IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO!!! STERLING JUST HAS IT ALL, ELEGANT IN APPEARANCE, OF PROUD CARRIAGE, AND GLOWING TEMPERAMENT. A GORGEOUS GUY YES, BUT WAIT TIL YOU SEE THIS PUP MOVE. HE HAS A WELL CHISELED OUTLINE AND MOVES WITH THE COORDINATION OF A WELL TRAINED ATHLETE. STERLING DOESN'T JUST WALK HE SEEMS TO PRANCE AND WHEN HE PICKS UP THE PACE, WITH HIS SMOOTH FLOWING GAIT, IT SEEMS AS IF HE IS FLOATING THROUGH AIR. HIS SILHOUETTE IS CLEARLY DEFINED, SHARPLY ETCHED, UNBLURRED, THIS GRAND FELLOW IN MOTION IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH. STERLING IS THE ULTIMATE COMPANION PUP, A REAL "SOFTIE" WHO ADORES PEOPLE, CHILDREN TO SENIORS. A PUP WHO IS HAPPIEST WHEN HE IS WITH HIS FAMILY. A FELLOW WHO IS EXTREMELY DEVOTED TO THOSE HE LOVES MAKING THIS ONE OF HIS MOST ENDURING QUALITIES. STERLING IS A CHARMING, AFFECTIONATE, LOVING GUY WHO JUST WANTS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE LIFE OF HIS OWNER. HE ALSO DELIGHTS IN THE COMPANY OF OTHER DOGS, JUST A NEW BEST FRIEND FOR STERLING TO PLAY WITH(HE'S EVEN FINE WITH CATS). TALK ABOUT A GREAT WALKING BUDDY, STERLING IS FLAWLESS ON LEAD, HE WILL "PRANCE" ALONG CLOSE TO YOU, HEAD HELD HIGH, ALERT, TAKING ALL THE SITES ALONG THEY WAY. BETTER ALLOW A FEW EXTRA MINUTES FOR YOUR WALK SO YOU CAN STOP AND LET FOLKS SEE THIS EXQUISITE FELLOW. IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A TRIP TO YOUR CABIN IN THE MOUNTAINS JUST TAKE THIS GORGEOUS FELLOW ALONG, HE WOULD SPEND THE DAY EXPLORING NEW TRAILS JUST TAKING IN THE GRANDEUR OF NATURE, STERLING'S PERFECT WEEKEND. IN THE EVENING WHEN YOU SETTLED IN TO READ A GOOD BOOK OR WATCH A MOVIE CHANCES ARE YOU WOULD FIND THIS BIG BEAUTIFUL FELLOW CURLED UP AT YOUR FEET, CONTENT KNOWING YOU ARE NEAR. IN A HOME SETTING HE IS BEAUTIFULLY BEHAVED, RESPECTFUL OF HIS SURROUNDINGS, KNOWING WHAT THINGS ARE HIS TO PLAY WITH AND THINGS TO LEAVE ALONE, HE IS A TRUE GENTLEMAN. THERE IS ALSO ONE MORE PART TO THIS GRAND DOG'S PACKAGE--STERLING IS SOOOO SMART!!!!! HE IS HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, POSSESSING THE ABILITY TO ABSORB AND RETAIN TRAINING, ANYTHING YOU INTRODUCE HIM TO HE FINDS INTERESTING AND A CHALLENGE. HE DELIGHTS IN LEARNING. STERLING LOVES TO FIND MEANING AND A REASON FOR THE COMMANDS GIVEN HIM. HE IS A HIGHLY VERSATILE DOG, EAGER TO LEARN, EASY TO TEACH, WANTING TO PLEASE. THE SKY'S THE LIMIT FOR A PUP THIS SMART!!! WE FEEL THAT AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH THIS GRAND "GENTLE GENTLEMAN" THAT THE PERFECT HOME FOR STERLING WOULD BE WITH A COUPLE, SINGLE GUY OR GIRL, OR A FAMILY WITH OLDER CHILDREN WHO WOULD DELIGHT HAVING STERLING AS A NEW BEST FRIEND. THE GREAT DANE BREED IS A BREED KNOWN AS "THE APOLLO OF ALL DOGS" IS A BREED THAT IS EXTREMELY LOYAL TO THEIR FAMILY ALWAYS WATCHFUL TO SEE THAT THOSE THEY LOVE ARE SAFE AND CARED FOR. THEY CHERISH TIME SPENT WITH THEIR FAMILY, LOVING DEEPLY AND FOREVER. IF YOU ARE HOPING TO ADD TO YOUR LIFE A COMPANION THAT IS HIGHLY INTELLIGENT--LOYAL--OBEDIENT--EVEN TEMPERED, A PUP WHO LOOKS LIKE A PAINTING, A DOG THAT POSSESSES THE "GOOD" TRAITS OF THE GREAT DANE BREED MAKING STERLING ONE "GREAT" DOG, HAVING TRAITS THAT HAVE ENDEARED THE DANE TO THEIR OWNERS FOR GENERATIONS(ALSO A PUP WHO GIVES THE BEST KISSES EVER) THEN LOOK NO FURTHER STERLING IS YOUR PUP. THE GREAT DANE IS KNOW FOR BEING A FAITHFUL COMPANIONS AND UNWAVERING FRIENDS, A DOG WITH THE HEART AND SPIRIT OF A GENTLEMAN.
