blind great dane

Question
I am thinking of getting a great dane but it is blind.  Is there a chance that this dane will have aggression problems.  The dog is 6 weeks old.

Answer
I think with proper socialization (teaching the dog to not react by desensitizing him to those things he/she will encounter in daily life in small increments and helping him make positive associations to new things other dogs,strange oises,cars,bicycles,new people,people different than their owners-shshorter,taller, wear glasses,wear a hat,etc) a blind dog wll be just fine..i would tink he would be more likely to have fear based aggresson since he cant see but if proroperly trained you shouldnt have a problem. Bless you for even thinking of adopting a blind dog when others would probably turn away without a second tought.
