I'm Rebecca A., the breeder behind Acres Verdes Danes located in Barren County, KY. I offer quality Great Dane puppies with a focus on health, form, and function. I believe quality is more important than quantity. I am conscientious about health, longevity, and color. I love what I do and enjoy educating new owners about the responsibilities of owning this breed.
Q. & A. with Rebecca
Why did you start breeding?
A close freind bred Geat Danes for 20+ years. As she was shutting down her breeding program she became a mentor for me as I started on my breeding journey. Great Danes have proven to be wonderful companions in my life, and it is a privilege to share that love and friendship with others. These giant lovers are great for families. Taking home one of my puppies will be one of the best decisions you've ever made!
What makes your program special?
I am very dedicated to what I do and what I aim to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for the Great Dane line. I take pride in my work and can't wait to connect with you and your family.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include harlequin, mantle, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
