Meet the breeder

I'm Shelly D., the breeder behind Oak Bend Danes located in Weatherford, TX. Our mission is to raise healthy, happy, beautiful puppies and connect loving families with their new best friends! We are devoted to each of our dogs and puppies and do everything we can to make sure that they have the best lives possible and fine forever homes where they can flourish.

Q. & A. with Shelly

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After being a Dane owner for years and with the help of a great mentor, we began our breeding program.

  • What makes your program special?

    We keep open communication, along with honest standards for the Great Dane Breed. Our goal is to improve the breed with each breeding we have. We only choose healthy parents with good temperaments, provide proper socialization and daily care, and always place puppies in loving homes with wonderful families.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include silver, chocolate, blue and white, fawn, blue, harlequin, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Shelly was so wonderful to work with. She was extremely responsive and kind. She answered every question I had promptly. She gave us so much information and absolutely made sure our new pup was set up for success. Sage came almost completely potty trained and she is the sweetest girl. She got a clean bill of health today with her first vet visit with us! We are so happy and would gladly recommend Shelly to anyone looking for a perfect Dane.

    We recently brought home our Great Dane puppy and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Shelly was very responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about the health and well-being of their dogs. Our puppy came home happy and healthy. It’s clear that the dogs are raised with love and attention. We are so thankful to have found such a responsible breeder and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a Great Dane.

    I searched for month for the perfect puppy and couldn't be happier. Shelly and her family were amazing. She kept in touch during the whole process and answered every one of my silly questions. She sent me pictures and video regularly so I could watch my puppy grow. Just to "Raven" to my veterinarian for the first time and he said he was one of the healthiest puppies he has seen. I would recommend Oak Bend Danes and Shelly if your looking for a perfect furbaby. 10 out of 10!

    Shelly was absolutely amazing to work with. Our Millie has been a dream pup and has had zero accidents in the house. Shelly’s care early on shows with how well mannered our pup is at just 8 weeks. Thank you for the wonderful care! I highly recommend her breeding program to anyone.

    Shelly was incredibly easy to work with. I got updates about Hay Hay all the time. She was very responsive with any question I had. Hay Hay is even better than I imagined. He is already very integrated into our family. We would definitely do business with Shelly again
