I'm the breeder behind Ohana Danes located in Winchester, VA. I breed Danes for temperament, health and for conformation. I strive to breed a friendly, stable dog for families with beautiful conformation in the ring. Our dogs are known for having stable temperaments and can even be seen in several commercials and ads.
Q. & A. with Stacie
Why did you start breeding?
After showing my first female in 2001, it felt like it was the right time in my life to have a litter.
What makes your program special?
I socialize pups well, they have a very stable temperament and quite a few of my dogs have been used for ads and commercials!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include mantle merle, harlequin, and mantle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Ohana 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.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA), Brucellosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
