I'm Lesley P., the breeder behind Titanium Danes located in Fort Worth, TX. We truly believe in the entire package! As a preservation breeder it is my goal to produce healthy and sound pets first and foremost. I fell in love with this breed as a child that quickly turned into an obsession as an adult! We are involved any various AKC sports including conformation/showing!
Q. & A. with Lesley
Why did you start breeding?
My first Great Dane had severe mobility issues due to poor breeding practices. If there is one thing I cannot stress enough to anyone who reads my page, even if you never want a puppy from me personally. Only support breeders who show. Structure and health is so important for the longevity of this AMAZING breed.
What makes your program special?
I studied the breed 8 years before deciding to dive into showing and breeding! I wanted a strong foundation to my program and I knew the only way was to focus on learning. I have had several amazing mentors through these years who have taught me all they know. The time I spent learning makes this whole process so rewarding. Every win, every passed health test, every happy puppy family makes this so rewarding.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include harlequin, mantle, and merle. 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
Titanium 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)
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.
OFA/CHIC DNA Repository
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
