About beauregard

If you’ve always dreamed of life with a gentle giant, Beauregard is ready to make that dream come true. This handsome Great Dane is everything people love about the breed—big, goofy, affectionate, and completely convinced he’s a lap dog. Personal space? Not in Beauregard’s vocabulary! He wants nothing more than to be by your side, soaking up attention and handing out kisses.

Like any true Dane, Beauregard’s size and puppy enthusiasm can lead to some hilarious moments. He’s been known to tumble off the couch, wipe out during the occasional zoomie, and accidentally clear an end table with his wagging tail. He never means to cause trouble—he’s simply an oversized puppy still figuring out just how big he is.

Beauregard loves everyone he meets and has done well with other dogs, though they can sometimes be intimidated by his size. He lives peacefully with cats, mostly giving them a curious sniff before moving on. He enjoys squeaky toys, bully sticks, walks, car rides, and, most of all, spending time with his people.

He’s potty trained on a schedule, keeps his crate clean overnight and for 4–5 hours during the day, and settles down quickly after a minute or two of barking. Beauregard is very food motivated, already knows “sit,” and is making great progress on leash manners. He may still get excited by squirrels, rabbits, or dogs he’d like to meet, but with continued training he’ll make a wonderful walking companion.

Despite his goofy puppy energy, Beauregard has an incredibly gentle heart. He has shown no resource guarding, happily shares his space, and truly just wants everyone around him to be happy. His one “enemy” is the vacuum cleaner—not because he’s afraid of it, but because he’s convinced it’s trying to attack his people!

Because he’s still a growing puppy who doesn’t always realize his size, Beauregard would do best with school-aged children or older. His jumping has already improved tremendously, and with continued guidance he’ll mature into the laid-back couch potato Great Danes are famous for.

Great Danes do have unique health considerations, so adopters should be familiar with the breed or willing to learn. In return, you’ll gain one of the sweetest, goofiest, most loving companions you could ever ask for.

Beauregard is the total package—a gentle giant with a playful spirit, a heart full of love, and an endless supply of snuggles. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will happily join you on adventures before curling up on the couch at the end of the day, Beauregard is your boy.
