Vanmar Great Danes of Colorado
Meet the breeder
I'm Tamara J., the breeder behind Vanmar Great Danes of Colorado located in Centennial, CO. I selectively breed one or two litters per year. My dogs are AKC registered, Champion Bloodlines. My dogs are health tested and OFA certified.
Q. & A. with Tamara
Why did you start breeding?
After owning Great Danes for 30 years, and always wanting to breed, I finally have the time to devote to breeding. Raising healthy, happy puppies is both challenging and rewarding.What makes your program special?
My puppies are all hand raised in our home from birth. My breeding stocks are all health tested and OFA certified. I rigorously screen potential families to make sure that my puppies get a good home and are a good fit. Potential homes are required to fill out a puppy application. I offer lifetime breeder support and require a return contract on every puppy. I do not want my puppies to end up in a shelter or rescue. I microchip every puppy I sell. Puppies also come with a health guarantee and discounted obedience classes.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
