We have chosen to do something a little different for our Brinley girl we have chosen a beautiful outside stud courtesy of Swanger Danes of Ohio Wolverine and Brynn will be bred Tuesday and we should have an updated confirmation by mid to end of October. Litter will be due sometime in November with puppies possibly going home early January. We were sad to have to use an outside stud, but we are having some testing done on our boy as this was our third miss on producing a litter with him and our girls We will continue to work on Bronx and follow Our Veterinarian’s recommendations on what our next steps will be for his future We are looking forward to speaking with our potential pet parents on her litter. I know I have quite a few of you looking forward to her litter The potential color variations will be fawn blue brindle mantle, blue piebald, and possibly tan point.

We don’t have good news on Kinsley and Bronx. Her x-ray was done on Thursday and we have no puppies. So we have decided to do something a little different for Brinley and her litter because she is ready to be bred I decided to get an outside stud because my Veterinarian recommended using an outside stud while we are waiting on analysis results for our boy we found a beautiful boy that we plan on using Brinley is due to be bred on Tuesday this coming week and we should have a confirmation on her towards the end of October mid October to end of October Our hearts are so heavy because we have been working on this litter for the past two years so our fingers are crossed that the outside stud we have chosen can possibly be used for Kinsley’s next litter, which will be sometime in the next five months So no September litter for Kinsley and Bronx If everything goes according to plan for Brinley, we should have a litter sometime in November

Little Paws Update We have an update on Kinsleigh & Bronx. We have officially hit day 24 from ovulation, marking the critical milestone of embryo implantation :) Thanks to precise progesterone tracking, we confirmed her ovulation occurred right around July 29. Right now, the tiny embryos are safely nesting and establishing their places. Mom is showing all the early typical signs of pregnancy including a bit of canine morning sickness (shes skipping breakfast but eating ravenously at night) and her nipples are starting to look a little pinker and prominent. Whats next on the calendar: Around Aug 24: we do her confirmation ultrasound Around Sept 20: Whelping box set up and final preparation countdown Around Sept 23-25: x-ray for puppy count Around Sept 30: Our estimated Due Date Because our girl was a little on the curvy side when bred, we are keeping a very close eye on her weight, maintaining her low impact walks daily, and transitioning her to an ultra-premium performance diet next week to ensure a safe, smooth delivery We will keep you updated every step of the way as her belly grows. Next exciting update will be coming in the next week :) Warmly, BkB's House of Danes Erika Shirk

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.
