Contrary to old-wives tales and ignorance on the part of inexperienced "breeders"; ANY color born in our litter is ACCEPTABLE (and sometimes more advisable) for breeding...ie...white, merle, mantle merle, merliquin, piebald, mantle, harlequin, mis. mantle, etc...if done properly by an EXPERIENCED breeder. Deafness is NOT inherited or passed on by breeding a white dog. HARLEQUINS & MANTLES are the 2 show colors born in a litter. They only comprise about 1-2% of the litter. Unbeknown to most, there are several other colors: various combinations of BLK/WHT/SILVER. (it is unethical and unorthodox  to pass these off for selling purposes as "RARE COLORS "!) They are 1/3 the cost and just as easy to LOVE. They are not "PET quality"... simply "PET colors". All companions & pet colors, must be neutered/spayed, (including vet. certificate) before any registration papers are issued. We keep all Harles & mantles until approximately 4-5 mos. to better assess their conformation for show. If they meet our show standards they are ONLY AVAILABLE with a show contract requiring their championship with a professional handler. If show standards are not specifically met, they become available to experienced Dane homes as loving companions. We require past ownership of a Great Dane or very large breed, require a fenced yard (invisible fencing unacceptable) and different shifts if both husband and wife work. 

Danes generally have wonderful, loving, laid-back temperaments...BUT, a NEW OWNER can change all that. Without consistent training/discipline/love starting at a very early age (7-8 weeks), a NEW OWNER can create a "monster". Only in some cases do individual bloodlines have "bad" temperaments. Just as a doctor delivers your new baby; the breeder presents you with your new puppy. As a parent can ruin a child, a puppy's TEMPERAMENT will become strictly & solely the reflection of the new owners training and upbringing.

GOOD HEALTH is also inherited! Good general health is usually genetic! WE GIVE NO HEALTH, MEDICAL, or GENETIC GUARANTEES. We do not put our beloved Danes under an anesthetic unless absolutely necessary. If this situation arises, we xray hips at that time. We do NOT OFA - our xrays are read by vet. orthopedic Spec. AND human orthopedic Spec.. All original xrays are on file in OUR possession. Along with many others; below is a list of our Danes on this site or in our pedigrees that have been xrayed with VERY GOOD and VERY NORMAL hips:

Testing & screenings are wonderful...FOR THAT DAY! ie, a Dane with an "excellent" cardiac screening today, could die of a heart attack tomorrow. We feed Biljac frozen with BEEF as main ingredient. 99% of all and the most expensive dog foods have chicken (necks, backs and parts) as their main ingredient. Did they eat chicken in the WILDS...not a chance!!; We add 2 pet tabs daily (for life), 2 pet cal daily (up to 18 mos.), one 1000 mg. Vit. ESTER-C daily (for life); an egg yolk twice a week, a teaspoon of oil twice a week...and we've had nothing but healthy, chunky dogs and puppies with shiny, thick coats for 39 years.

Nature has provided mom with the very best immunity...bar NONE. She passes it on to her babies with that first suck of her milk. If you've been brainwashed and feel you must vaccinate, we recommend this after 10 mos, giving their own immune system a chance to develop. Would you immunize your children at 6 weeks, 8 weeks 12 weeks..... etc etc etc ?? ( Please note: Our puppy contract states: If you vaccinate your puppy before the age of 10 mos and it gets sick OR dies , we will NOT replace or refund ). If a breeder has many years of experience (at LEAST 20 years) SHE/HE will ALWAYS be your BEST vet !

This is just OUR opinion folks...the proof is in the pudding...39 years of quality, longevity & health, what more can we say. GMJ
