Q. & A. with Kelly
Why did you start breeding?
I love all dogs, but my love for Great Danes started early in the 70's. I have spent the better half of my adult life rescuing Weimaraners and Danes in need. The aspect of breeding was something I thought long and hard about. I knew when I started the program would have to be very reputable and build confident , healthy, well tempered pups.What makes your program special?
Our adult dogs and puppies live in our home. We interact daily with our pups, exposing them to everyday sounds and situations.. Our mission is to expose our pups to new thing and situation as they transition from newborn to going home to the new owners.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and white, blue, harlequin, merle, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
