Uke, they are cropped (cut) to stand. It is breed standard. don't do it with my own, but If you want to show them in competition they have to be cropped.
Calvin, a lot of people think that. Danes are actually big couch potatoes so they don't exert a lot of energy so no need for a lot of food. I go through 100 lbs of food a month.
