I'm Kara F., the breeder behind Lagarda's Rose Gold located in Lutz, FL. I’m passionate about Great Danes and am excited to responsibly share them with the world! I offer top-quality, loving pups. My dogs are bred to produce healthy, sound, and versatile pups. My ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be the greatest family companions.
Q. & A. with Kara
Why did you start breeding?
I have always been invested in the well-being of animals. A consistent love for the Great Dane breed and dog training encouraged the beginning of Lagarda's Rose Gold. I have worked closely with my mentors to build an ethical, responsible breeding program, and I am so happy to be a part of the Great Dane community.
What makes your program special?
I truly love Great Danes 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 am very dedicated to what I do and what I am trying to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for my puppies and their forever families.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brindle and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
