I'm the breeder behind Laxton Danes located in Borger, TX. Danes stole our hearts right from the start and we found ourselves wanting to get more involved. Breeding was a natural next step and we haven’t looked back since!

A+, 10/10, gold medal, Emmy award, two thumbs up, you name it, Laxton Danes should be awarded it!
This is our fourth Great Dane, our first from Laxton, and he the healthiest, most well bred, intelligent, athletic, agile and lovable GD puppy of all.
Jessica was amazingly easy to work with, very flexible (as we tried to work with our crazy schedule), and clearly dedicated to the breed.
Our little Mo has proven to be easy to train, very affectionate, confident, independent (but not too much), curious, brave, healthy, friendly, and very athletic.
We won’t be getting another Dane from any other breeder after our excellent experience with Laxton!
Signed,
One very happy customer,

I can’t say enough about how much I respect Jessica and Laxton Danes. From the beginning it was very clear that the health and safety of their Danes came first. I was fortunate enough to adopt Thor and Jessica has been at my side all along with any questions and advice. I really feel extremely fortunate to have been able to get Thor from such a loving and very professional family. I also want to thank them for delivering Thor. I am so happy with my new baby.

I had nothing but the best experience with Jessica and Chuck from Laxton Danes! This was my first time ever buying directly from a breeder (and first time using Good Dog) Jessica was super responsive to all my questions, both before and after the deposit was placed for my beautiful boy, Atlas.
Through out the process they provided frequent video updates so I could see my pups progress as he grew. They also insist on delivering the puppies themselves if you need your pup to travel (with a fee of course). They traveled 8 hours to bring Atlas to me and he arrived in good health with all his records, microchipped and with a baggie of puppy food to help transition to a new food. (though I just kept on feeding him the same diet to avoid any dietary issues while he settled into his new home)
It's been over a week now and Atlas is happy, healthy and well on his way already! He is wonderfully sweet and I can tell he was socialized very well as he is always so happy to meet new people and doesn't seem to mind my other small pets at all (Rabbit and a Bird).
I cannot speak highly enough of Jessica and Chuck, who both came all the way to deliver me my baby boy! If I ever wish to get another Dane in the future, you best believe I'll always be contacting them first.

Jessica and Chuck were super warm and inviting. They introduced me to Apollo and treated me like family while in their home as well. Coming from someone who has dealt with the loss of my Great Dane babies, it was t easy deciding to do this again. The wholeheartedly made me feel super comfortable. ❤️❤️ Thank you guys!!!

First and foremost, I must say that am not very trusting with purchasing anything from online. With all the fake websites, and scams, there is no telling who is who anymore. I wanted a Great Dane for my wife and as a brother for my other puppy. I came across Goodbog and Jessica’s profile of her beautiful Great Danes, and took a chance on reaching out to her to inquire about the puppies. Still the forever skeptic, I was afraid of being scammed. However, Jessica told be the process, assured me that it was all secured transactions, she was extremely patient with me, she answered ALL MY (1,001) questions. She was supportive throughout the entire process. Indeed, everything went as Jessica told it, the process is secured (payment, communication, etc.,) I drove 5 1/2 hrs to pickup our baby, Jessica and her husband where amazing people. Very friendly, suppler down to earth, extremely welcoming. Since this was a surprise for my wife Jessica and her husband played along with my plan. Who does that nowadays. The puppy can with his documentations, everything Jessica had said, she delivered on. I think this has been one of the most pleasant experience I’ve ever had. Drove back home 5 1/2 hours and Jessica was checking in on us to ensure we made it back home okay. One can truly feel that they cared, and it’s more than just an over the counter transaction. The puppy is in great shape, well taken care of, and healthy. Thank you and your husband for amazing experience.
