How can I prevent bow legs or knuckling in a Great Dane puppy?

I am getting my 10 week old Great Dane puppy shipped to me on Thursday. I've done some research and I see that Great Dane legs are prone to bowing or knuckling. What can I do to prevent that? I know placing the puppy on a low protein diet is one way but is there anything else I need to be careful of? Any advice from Great Dane owners is much appreciated.

How does a Great Dane at age 1 need to weigh?

My big baby is 88 pounds. She had a birthday on Feb 14th, so she is 1 years old. I took her to the vet for her rabies, and i asked my vet if her being thin is okay. He did say she looks thin but her coat is very shiny and she appears to be healthy! How much does a Great Dane suppose to weigh at 1? She is a harlequin, about 6 feet tall standing on her back legs. Thank you for any help!

How do I get my doberman pup to stop biting so hard when he plays?

He's ten weeks old and he love to bite and chew, everything shoes, legs, and the closest kid or you. His teeth are really shap and sometimes he'll bite hard. I know it's important to get doberman puppy associated with other dogs and children at a young age, so thier gentle later on, but everytime he's around kids I worry that he'll bite hard. How do I break him from it?
