I'm Talan J., the breeder behind Danes Done Right located in Pollock, LA.

I want to provide your family with a top quality dog, big or small!
Q. & A. with Talan
Why did you start breeding?
My dogs are an integral part of my family and daily life. This creates the ideal environment for puppies. From birth, they grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family - that they have a purpose. I treasure each puppy in my program and give them all the attention and care that I possibly can. I work hard so my puppies can leave my home with confidence, ready to take on the world with their new family!
What makes your program special?
I am passionate about each breed that I have and my love for these dogs shines through in every aspect of my breeding program. My dogs live an active lifestyle and are given so much love every day. I want the same environment for my puppies and take pride in thoroughly vetting my buyers to ensure my pups will be sent to a good home!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include mantle merle, black and white, brindle, fawn, blue, harlequin, mantle, merle, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
