Q. & A. with Wendy & Mark

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Purposeful and ethical breeding is so important for the healthy progression of any breed. It is a passion of ours to breed these incredible dogs and help ensure the future of the Great Dane. We want to do our part to better the breed. Our breeding program strives to maintain the unique characteristics of the Great Dane while placing an emphasis on producing puppies of superior health, temperament, and conformation.

  • What makes your program special?

    We do not breed our dogs unless they are fully healthy and are excellent representations of the breed standard. Our ultimate goal is to produce well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues AND have the ability to be the greatest family companions. Temperament is huge in our program! Wr are very conscious about who we rehome our puppies to and always ensure that each one goes to the best home possible complementary to its personality and ability. We are very passionate about our work and what we strive to achieve as a breeder. We work with passion, heart, integrity, and truly want to see each and every one of our puppies shine!

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

    Our puppies include brindle, fawn, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
