We do not have any litters now.
However, Dennis is the sire of Schnell's litter at DK Lee Danes in Texas. Seven males were born August 15, 2012. I believe the mantles and blacks are available, please click here for the boys' pedigree.
We spayed Ariel, who we hoped would be our foundation bitch. However, her hips x-rays would have come back at best from OFA as fair. We do not believe in breeding a dane with a fair rating so we spayed her. We figure there are enough danes out there with hip issues why chance adding to that number?
However, this page is kept updated with breeding information on our two males. We try to be selective and mainly do line breeding with our stud dogs.
Traditionally the dam’s owner is responsible for the placing and price of puppies. I will be happy to pass on any serious inquiries to dam owners we have bred to.
One of Dennis' granddaughters is a family member of Country Ridge Great Danes. CH Muse Country Ridge Calynda was bred to CH Seanachai, Irish Mooch of Magnus and they are the proud parents of 11 puppies.
I believe there is one merle male and four mis-marked mantle females available as pets on spay/neuter contracts. Please click here to go to the available puppies page.
Dennis will be bred to a harlequin bitch in Texas sometime between now and April. Once the breeding has taken place and puppies confirmed an update will be posted here...so stay tuned.
Please keep in mind that when you buy from a reputable breeder you are getting help and support for the life of your puppy. In other words, you get what you pay for and YOU NEED TO DO RESEARCH including breeders listed on the GDCA site.
A good place to start researching is the Great Dane Club of America (GDCA) site. Below is a list of puppy related pages on the GDCA site.
Check our links page for some free downloadable PDF books and other puppy related information.
That Great Dane in the newspaper may only be $400-$500, however:
For example, you’re lucky if you can get out of the vet’s office for less than $150 with a giant breed dog. So you’re better off getting a healthy puppy that does not need to go to vet every time you turn around. To say nothing of the heartache of losing a young puppy due to health or temperament issues.
Great Danes must be grown slowly and never fed puppy food. Bigger is not necessarily better. An eight week old puppy weighs around 20 pounds and should not gain more than 5-10 pounds a week or you can run into growth issues. This is another reason you want to buy from a reputable breeder who can help guide you in feeding and care of your puppy.
If a breeder does not show their dogs then how can they know if they are breeding to the standard. There is a reason we have the term “kennel blind” as it’s often hard to honestly/brutally critique what you’ve bred. Often these lines look more like Greyhounds or giant Labrador Retrievers. Do not fall for the “show people are snobs” line.
