Lakeside Danes
Meet the breeder
I'm Karyn R., the breeder behind Lakeside Danes located in Gainesville, FL. I have been raising Danes for over 20 years. They are raised in the home as family. I breed first for temperment.... and adhere to the GDCA Color and breed standard. I expect my babies to become your family too. I am reachable for any problems that come up and stay in touch with my puppy people. All pups are sold on a limited AKC registration. That means they're not to be used for breeding. The only pups I sell with unlimited contract are to proven show homes. I also co own my pups until I receive proof of spay/ neuter. In my contract the pups can never go to a shelter. If for ANY reason you can no longer keep the pup/ dog I will take the pup back.
