Q. & A. with Crystal
Why did you start breeding?
I regularly participate in conformation shows and started breeding to continue and improve upon my prized Great Dane line. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same.
What makes your program special?
I strive to breed healthy, quality pups that can fit any lifestyle. I take pride in raising well-tempered and socialized puppies who can excel in work, show, or as beloved companions. I truly love the Great Dane breed and am dedicated to looking out for the breed as a whole. I know the health and status of every dog I have bred and am proud of the temperament and conformation of my puppies. I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to adopt one of these wonderful dogs.
