I'm Mandi R., the breeder behind Oak Haven Great Danes located in Ocala, FL. We breed in order to preserve the wonderful attributes we found in our dogs. Because of our dedication to both the health and quality of the breed, it's our goal to pass these traits down to future generations.
Q. & A. with Mandi
Why did you start breeding?
During my childhood my mother and I raised Persian cats. We would show them at cat shows all over the country. After my mother passed away, I wanted to carry on that same joy I had with my own children with a breed that I fell in love with years ago.
What makes your program special?
We only breed dogs who have proven themselves to be excellent examples of the breed. All breeding dogs are health tested and compete in AKC dog shows to build outstanding pedigrees. We love our companion homes just as much as our show homes. we stay connected with families through out the life of the dogs and are always here to answer any questions or offer any guidance along the way.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include mantle merle, brindle, fawn, harlequin, mantle, merle, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
