Q. & A. with Heather
Why did you start breeding?
Breeding began as a desire to share with other families the special companionship I believe is truly unique to the Great Dane breed. They are such a gentle yet intuitive breed. We are proud to have 1 certified therapy Dane and many of our puppies are serving in some capacity.
What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised using both Suzanne Clothier's Early Puppy Protocols and what is commonly called Puppy Culture. These programs are vetted, are science based, and focus on laying a foundation for our puppies create a positive emotion response to many of our worlds novelties.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Sukee, mom
Great Dane
About Sukee
Sukee is like a warm blanket or a long hug. She prefers to lay on the couch especially when you are under her. Sukee's favourite past time when she is outside is sunbathing tummy-side up. What I love most about Suk is her keen ability to know when I or anyone just needs her to lay that huge head of hers on our shoulder or lap. Her name means "Beloved Comforter" and that describes her to a T.
Barnabas, dad
Great Dane
About Barnabas
Barnabas loves 3 things and in this order: His humans, his ball, and a liver treats...well any treats in a pinch. When we are gardening, he will lay, ball beside him of course, in the shade waiting patiently for us. He watches our chickens, sheep, and goat and is always up for a ride to town.
