I'm Lesa B., the breeder behind Patientdanes located in Marine City, MI. My focus is on excellence in every aspect of my breeding program. I offer top-quality Great Dane puppies for show and pet homes. I am purposeful in everything that I do regarding my dogs, which includes careful selection of breeding dogs and extensive health testing. My goal is to produce healthy dogs with great temperaments that are exemplary representations of the breed.
Q. & A. with Lesa
Why did you start breeding?
This is an incredible breed, and I decided to start my breeding program in order to preserve the wonderful qualities I found in my dogs. They excel both in and out of the show ring. I am dedicated to improving my lines with each generation so that the breed will continue to thrive for a long time to come.
What makes your program special?
When I bring a life into the world, I make sure it gets the best start possible. This includes proper care and socialization for each puppy, but it starts even earlier than birth. I set my puppies up for success by carefully selecting my breeding dogs, keeping in mind factors such as health, temperament, ability, and longevity.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
