I'm Lindsay M., the breeder behind Mathias Danes located in Moline, IL. My pups are hand raised with our family and bred for temperament to make the perfect family pet. My dam is from 100% Croatian bloodlines with gorgeous confirmation. Both parents are AKC and health tested to ensure you receive a pet that will be a part of your family for years to come. If you want a dog that will get attention everywhere you go, these pups are for you!
Q. & A. with Lindsay
Why did you start breeding?
I had such a hard time finding a Great Dane when I was looking for my first and she was such a sweet well-mannered dog, loyal and smart, I couldn't resist creating more like her to share with others.
What makes your program special?
A few of my puppies have gone on to become service dogs for their owners because their temperament and disposition is so good. I raise each of my litters by hand, sleeping with them in the whelping box until they are 4 weeks old and then in the room outside of it until they are old enough to leave. Each of these puppies is special to me and is treated as such with training and manners started early.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Asha
Asha is a blue tan point with 100% Croatian bloodlines. She has that full Euro look with great confirmation so her puppies are going to be beautiful adults. She is well mannered and loves people. She's gentle with my young kids and animals of all sizes. She loves to go for walks and car rides and has spent most days at work with me since I got her. She never barks!
Mathias Danes reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Great Danes.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
