Meet the breeder
I'm Dana M., the breeder behind Vail Great Dane located in Hillsborough, NJ. We are a passionate and dedicated breeding program that produces dogs with great obedience, conformation, and agility. Our priority is making sure our dogs and puppies get the best care, which includes health testing on our parent dogs, all appropriate vet care, thorough socialization, and - of course - lots and lots of love!
Q. & A. with Dana
Why did you start breeding?
We love this breed! Our dogs have brought us so much love and happiness that we decided to start our own responsible breeding program by producing the highest quality dogs and providing them a wonderful life with wonderful families. It's an amazing feeling knowing that we made a positive contribution to these dogs and to the families and individuals who love them dearly!What makes your program special?
Our dogs are an integral part of our family and daily life. This creates the ideal environment for puppies. From birth, they grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family - that they have a purpose. It would be our pleasure to introduce your family to your next Great Dane!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brindle and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Vail Great Dane 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.
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.
Ichthyosis, Great Dane Type, Inherited Myopathy in Great Danes (IMGD)
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).
