Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Beachside Kennels reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Great Danes.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

    Buying a puppy online can be nerve-racking, but Clairissa was available to answer questions and coordinate the process. We recently brought home our Great Dane puppy, Lyric, and are excited to watch him grow. Thank you for helping us add a new member to our family.

    We just got out sweet Briggs today and he has been so sweet and wonderful with a great temperament already! The process was smooth and he was flown to us from Florida to Colorado and was such a breeze! We are so excited to have our sweet boy home!

    I’m Terah out of Arkansas! I got my boy today. He is everything I imagined he would be! Not going to lie I was a little nervous buying a pup over the internet, but Claire always insured me I was good. She made sure I knew everything was okay. This is as real as it gets! If you want a beautiful Dane you’re in the right spot! She made sure I got him she brought him all the way from Florida to Little Rock! Greatly appreciated! Thanks beachside!!

    If I could give Clairessa 10 stars, I would do it in a heartbeat! She is hands down the most patient, dedicated, and professional breeder I have ever met. Throughout the entire process, she was absolutely exceptional, keeping us updated with constant communication about our puppy’s growth and development. Her level of responsibility and ethics as a breeder is unmatched. On the day we were originally supposed to bring our puppy home, her veterinarian advised her that she wasn’t completely ready yet. Instead of rushing things, Clairessa immediately reached out, explained the situation with total honesty, and safely put the puppy’s health first by asking us to wait one more week. That showed us just how much she truly cares about her dogs. Today, we finally picked her up, and she is an absolute dream! She is stunning, healthy, incredibly active, and full of life. Clairessa went above and beyond by sending us home with some of her food, a lovely bag filled with her favorite toys, and taking the time to explain everything we needed to know regarding her diet, routine, and transition care. Clairessa is remarkably patient, and her response time was always lightning-fast. If you are looking for an excellent, trustworthy, and compassionate breeder, look no further. Thank you so much, Clairessa!

    Clairessa was very knowledgeable and professional and was able to help us get united with our new baby Niko around my Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment. She is super friendly and helpful and we love our new puppy.

    It was great getting to work with Clairessa to bring Ludo home. She was quick at responding to any questions and had clear communication throughout the process. I trusted in the experience she had breeding Great Danes, and she is able to trace back many generations of the family line. The parents both had health clearance with certificates. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a healthy & loving companion.
