Just wanted you to know how much DANELINKS will be missed and I
wanted to thank you for the quality site DANELINKS was. It very
obviously consumed much of your time as anything done with care and
thought does. The interviews were very educational and never
trivial. For those of us on the 'sidelines' for now, it provided
insight and viewpoints from some of the 'pillars of the breed' that
someone like me would not get to see otherwise. I do hope those
interviews will remain available. Thank you for your efforts....it
sure was good while it lasted... Have a wonderful holiday and best
of luck at the shows...Patty Runchey

I don't think you know what kind of effect your site has had.
A well planned website with informed contributors is a difficult
thing to find today. You brought out the best of the past with
an eye on the future. Your insights will surely be missed.
Thank you for your time and effort.

I just read that soon we will not be able to get the
invaluable, educational & sometimes thought provoking information
that you have provided to us Great Dane "lovers" for quite some
time now. I feel it will be a TREMENDOUS LOSS, in many ways, to
all of us who "tuned in" several times a week / month.
A very heartfelt THANK YOU for "all" you have given us on
DaneLinks !!!!!
Best Wishes in the months ahead,

I am so sorry to hear you won't be continuing Danelinks. I go to
the site at least once a week. Would you by any chance consider
someone else taking it over? There is too big a need for this
venue in the Dane world. I, for instance, would definitely be
interested in the endeavor.
Thank you for your time,

Thanks for all the time you put
toward Danelinks, it was a wonderful and educational resource
for me. I can only imagine how time consuming it has been for
you and your staff.
I do understand your reasoning for
wanting to move on but please know that I will miss Danelinks
tremendously. I checked in with you at least every other day
and it was a way for me to know how Torrie's siblings were
carrying on her bloodline. I am going to miss peeking in on
what's happening in the breed.
You know I always wish you the best
and we'll stay in touch.

I hate for the Dane World to lose
Danelinks.
Its so educational and has many ads that are not otherwise
seen. What if we all subscribe to it to access it and
then maybe someone could be hired to help the upkeep.

Hi Ray,
I am sad to see Danelinks come to an end. It has been such a breath
of fresh air. The articles, the polls, the honesty and integrity
will be greatly missed. Thank you for all the time you have put into
it. As a novice I have found the site to be most educational. There
is so much garbage floating around the Internet these days that one
has a hard time figuring out what ones priorities should be from
a breeding and exhibiting stand point. When I was turned on to
Danelinks I was very thankful for all the great info and
perspectives. Just so you know..... The site was here long enough to
make a difference for me and I am grateful and thankful to you for
all of your hard work over the years and with Danelinks. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Kim Eastwood

Ray,
Sorry to see it go, but I do
see your point! Thanks for all your efforts on Danelinks and my
best to you in the future.

Hello Ray,
I also will be sorry to see Danelinks discontinued. I commend you on
producing such a fine publication and do understand your need to
concentrate on other avenues within the Dane world.
I would like to know if Danelinks will be kept in it's current home
or if it will be removed once the site expires? If you plan to allow
the site to expire I would like you to consider keeping it intact.
If you need to relocate Danelinks I would be more than happy to
provide the space to archive it and have it remain accessible to the
public, free of charge, and complete as is.
It would be such a shame to lose all that you have built and all
that people rely upon for information, both current and historical.
Thank you for providing Danelinks to us for these past several
years.

Dear Ray,
I am sad that DANELINKS will no longer be there for us to read, see
and learn from. Thank you so much for the time and effort you and
your contributors put into this very useful and insightful web
source. I will miss it.
Sincerely,

Dear Ray,
Although I have never sent even one email, I have been reading
Danelinks since it`s beginning, and I will miss it more than I can
say. I have learned so much here, and sent many others to the site
so they may be pointed in the right direction as they start out with
Danes. There has never been and never will be another source of
information as timely and inspiring as Danelinks.
On a very personal note, I was never able to have a memorial page in
a Dane magazine for my beloved BISS AM CAN CH Limerick`s Lovesong
CGC ROM. I had very much wanted to have her in your Danes Revered
section someday, and I am saddened that I am too late. My favorite
picture of her is the one taken when you took her into the Parade of
Champions in Kansas City. I know you remember that one!
I know that I am not alone in my sadness in seeing the end of
Danelinks. I do understand what a huge undertaking this has been. I
just wanted my chance to thank you, and wish you great luck and joy
in whatever is next for you.

I am sure you are getting lot's of calls and emails regarding
your dead line 11/15 for ads. I don't think mine is due till
December though. There are lot's of Rumors that you may not
have Danelinks any longer?? Is this true? I know I will
personally miss all the information and beautiful pictures of
Danes. Many people don't advertise in magazines so I get to see
the dogs that I would not if it weren't for your site. I hope
you are well?
Kind regards,

What's happening?????? I know it is a tremendous amount of
work for you
but we all enjoy Danelinks so much and I'm sure if it would
help, you could
get MANY subscribers. I would!!!! Please consider it.

I saw you're no longer accepting ads after 11/15. Are
you reformatting, selling or shutting down your website?
Sorry to hear it. Good luck with everything .

I saw the editorial this morning. Are you going to
end Danelinks?
I bet a lot of people would be happy to pay an
annual subscription fee …I know I sure would.
