+5Wilson has been such an amazing addition to our family, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Bluestone Valley Great Danes! From the very beginning, communication and support have been wonderful, and it’s clear how much care goes into raising these dogs. Wilson is sweet, loving, smart, and has the best personality. We absolutely adore him and would recommend working with Larissa without hesitation! Wilson is the 4th Great Dane we have owned and by far the healthiest and most well tempered, he is an absolute joy. We can’t wait to bring another one of her babies into our home some day ❤️

Larissa was very kind and responsive and on top of sending regular updates, as we could not contain our excitement to pick up our fur-baby, Freyja. Larissa helped us navigate finding the perfect temperament without meeting Freyja beforehand. Additionally, kudos to GoodDog for rectifying technical difficulties promptly. Thank you all for helping us connect with our perfect pup!

Allow me to introduce our 6 month old baby girl Isla. Consistently commented on her beauty and manners, but it's her intelligence that is admired most! Larissa does an amazing job breeding and raising her pups until they find their forever homes. She is supportive, knowledgeable, and passionate about her pups. I am grateful I found her through Good Dog and highly recommend Larissa if you're looking for a beautiful sweet tempered gentle giant like Isla❤️.

Larissa is not just an amazing breeder, she is also a valuable source and a wonderful human. Luca is not my first giant breed puppy, but he is my first Great Dane. Larissa is always so responsive and helpful with any questions I have and she is so knowledgeable about her puppies. Her suggestions have proven invaluable. And my Luca is the sweetest, most gentle puppy I have ever had. His temperament is perfect, he is going to be trained to be a therapy dog. I can not say enough good things about Larissa or recommend her enough. Luca is now almost six months old and Larissa is still just as invested in Luca.
