Appropriate health screening are performed by our veterinarian and/or the OFA before breeding.
These may include OFA hips, OFA elbows, OFA shoulder, OFA thyroid panel, OFA eye exam, cardiac screening that include an echo, as well as any pertinent genetic testing.
We support and adhere to the Great Dane Club of America's Breeder's Code of Ethics.
No puppy will leave before the age of 8 weeks or without a signed contract of sale/purchase agreement and a reference check. We strongly prefer properly fenced yards, and please be aware a home check may be asked for. I know this seems like a lot but you should be happy that we care and place our puppies so carefully.
I extensively screen prospective buyers and puppies will only go to approved companion or show homes
Companion puppies will be placed on AKC Limited Registration and a spay/neuter agreement.
Show puppies will be placed on a co ownership with a show/ breeding contract/agreement.
All puppies will have been started on basic house, leash and crate training. They are raised with love and all the comings and goings of a busy household. Puppies will have been examined by a licensed veterinarian. We are an involved household and employ ENS, Avidog, and Puppy Culture principles in raising our puppies. We actively involved in the dane community and are members of the Monterey Bay Great Dane Club and the Great Dane Club of America.
Cropping is a very personal decision, and the aftercare requires a lot of hard work and diligence.
Cropping when done is done by a veterinarian and is at the cost and risk of the purchaser.
We prefer that our companion puppies remain uncropped.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE A PUPPY TO ANY HOME WE FEEL IS NOT SUITABLE!
Thank you for your interest in our danes.
If we are between litters we would be happy to have you keep in touch with us, help refer you to a reputable rescue or other breeder, and/or answer any questions that you may have about great danes in general.
