Cosmo is as loving and goofy and happy as always. Although he does not get to travel as much as he used to, Cosmo continues to lead an active life. His favorite thing to do remains walking in the park and pet stores where he gets to meet new friends. Cosmo always attracts a lot of children due to his size. He likes nothing more than to slobber all over kids and get lots of hugs! He will also be representing Great Danes at "Meet the Breed" event at the next IX show in Cleveland in December. We hope to see you there.

December 2006

Cosmo finished his Rally Novice title with 3 placements! He finished 1st at Illini Great Dane Specialty in November 2005, 3rd at the Great Dane Nationals and 3rd at the Butler Club competition.

In conformation Cosmo finished with 19 points a week before turning 2 years. As an adult Cosmo was shown in Open Black only two weekends where he accumulated 4 majors. We would like to thank the following judges that graciously honored Cosmo and us with their choice (in chronological order):

Ms. Diana Taylor – WD 5 points
Ms. Linda Ridder – WD 5 points
Ms. Lourdes Carvajal – BW 4 points
Mr. Joseph Tomey – WD 3 points
Mr. John Cole - BW 2 points (as a puppy).

A heartfelt thank you to Tootie and Joe Longo, for their high standards in breeding ethics and for introducing Cosmo into our lives!
