One Great Dane crate in a minivan leaves you room to pack other stuff. Two Great Dane crates in a minivan make you decide that you need a full-size gas guzzler if you're going to take two dogs to out of town shows. (Thus a 12-year-old megavan sitting in the garage.)

Driving through town with 11 dogs in a Ford Fiesta van has been a memorable experience!! Hence the reason for gradually larger vans... I can't imagine the size van I'd need for 11 great danes O.O

I think it would require a full sized bus. O.O

yeah, The road got repaired and so is not nearly as fun. I got older and acquired a husband who can't be bounced very well.(bilateral amputee, doesn't like hitting the truck roof)
so the last time I took a ten minute run over a twenty minute road was a medical emergency. I beat the ambulance and the paramedics to the base of the road with someone in the back of the truck in insulin shock convulsions. That was a wild ride in the dark.

I think you'd be up to a motor coach!
And how do you get 11 in a Fiesta??

Who needs a van to carry a sofa? My husband had a Ford Taurus sedan with a roof rack that could (and did) carry a sofa. Not to mention Christmas trees, 6x6 deck posts, 12 4x8 sheets of plywood (in one trip), a desk, etc., etc.

The "not listening" is classic terrier unfortunately as well as hound; I'm so used to it that I tend to accept the tendency and view variations with interest lol. We're obviously people of character, wanting to live with such interesting and independent characters

I think that selective deafness is practiced by all of them. When your words have no effect whatsoever on the dog across the room, but that dog is at your side in a nanosecond when the lid of the treat jar in the kitchen is lifted, it's pretty clear what's going on. 
|
I think it is practised by all pets. My cat does that all the time. She pointedly looks out the window, as if saying "I can't hear you!".
|
Cats seem to be even better at it than dogs - one of my minis, Sumo, used to wag her tail when I called her, to be polite and acknowledge me... at the same time as she accelerated away over the horizon. She was a charming dog

There is a distinct difference between a person of character and a nut. The nuts have a disconnect between themselves and reality, sort of a pale grey void.
This is in contrast to the "I am not worried about how I appear, this is what I do and this is how I do it" attitude of the person of character.
There are lots of those here. It only looks similar to people who have pigeon hole minds.

Barbarians!
If you don't want your Great Danes to drive they should definitely be free to hang over the back of your seat giving you advice and being entertaining. Hmpf.
