Sable, the Great Great Dane

My husband and I were playing golf Sunday at Three Little Bakers when we spotted two women walking a big, black dog on a nearby sidewalk between the ninth and 10th holes. We had a wait on the 11th tee and the dog-walking party was passing by again. I crossed the street to find out the black beauty was Sable, a 14-month-old Great Dane who weighs 107 pounds. Sable was friendly, but she wasn't quite ready for ear scratches. Her owner said she has a good disposition, but they had been painting at home and Sable managed to get her long, curled up tail into the paint. Good for her.

Sable had some of the longest strides I've seen on a dog, but she was calm and her owner and the other woman with her had no problem keeping up.

What's the biggest dog you've known or seen?
