Erika was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning of our relationship when we saw a picture of our future puppy at 10 days old. She continues to be available for any questions any time and we feel she truly enjoys keeping up with his progress and in touch with us as Norman grows into a fine young dog. Our puppy is a healthy,well mannered,smart example of the breed and such a pleasure to train and fell right into his new pack( myself, Lori and our 3 year old cat) and we already have planned our first road trip. Thanks again to BkB House of Danes! Tony and Lori

My experience in finding the perfect puppy was the best! I sought out breeders looking for a puppy as a birthday present for my fiancé. As a family we did our research to pick the best breed that fit into our lifestyle. Finding BKB House of Danes and seeing their dogs and the information they have listed on their profile made me reach out. They had a male pup ready to go but ultimately I chose to wait until the next litter due to a long upcoming family vacation. Erika kept me updated on everything leading up to the arrival of the next litter. We picked our little girl Hera and she is the absolute best addition to our family. This is our first puppy and BKB made it a breeze! Hera has been called by her name since week one and came home completely house broken! Hers is such a loving and gentle puppy- a true reflection of BKB House of Danes, Erika and Hera’s parents Knox and Bindie. ❤️
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
