Q. & A. with Christine
Why did you start breeding?
I have worked with Danes all of my life. My family bred Danes in Germany. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy I've found in raising these wonderful dogs. I know my puppies will bring great joy into your hearts and homes.
What makes your program special?
My program focuses on improving the breed, obedience titles, trick dog titles, rally, agility, and dock diving. I strive to breed healthy, quality pups that can fit any lifestyle. I take pride in raising well-tempered and socialized puppies who can excel in work, show, or as beloved companions. I look forward to sending your home with your next Great Dane puppy!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
