Agreed, my Danes are never unsupervised around Diego. Only once I came home to them both out of thie crates (I think they grew thumbs and let each other out!) opened the door and they stood there greetin me....nearly had a heart attack. Thankfully all was well, but now use extra cage locks! I don't think they would attack Diego. But could easily crush him
