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 breeding dogs are health tested and OFA health certified. My dogs have earned their CHIC health certification. These tests include: OFA Hips - X-rays are taken and sent to OFA where a panel of board certified vets examine the X-rays to rule out presence of hip dysplasia. OFA Heart- full echocardiogram on each parent to rule out heart problems. OFA Elbows- X-rays of elbows to rule out evidence of dysplasia OFA Thyroid- to screen for thyroid disease OFA Cerf Eyes- eyes are examined by canine eye specialist DVM to rule out eye disease. Once all of these tests are completed and passed the dog earns its CHIC health certification number. All of our parents dogs have this number as well as grandparent dogs. So we have multi generational health testing. Puppies are raised in our home with a lot of love. We have puppy meet and greets at my home starting at 4 weeks of age to help families build a loving bond with their new puppy. Pups start receiving PARVO shots at 3 weeks of age to offer extra protection. So our pups go home with 3 vaccinations instead of the standard single vaccine. *Vaccinations *Pups are microchipped *Dew Claws are removed *Appropriate Wormings *Socialized *Potty training started.
Q. & A. with Tamara
Why did you start breeding?
After owning Great Danes many years, I started breeding in 2016. Raising healthy, happy puppies is both challenging and rewarding. I may have one or two litters a year.What makes your program special?
My puppies are all hand raised in our home from birth. My breeding dogs are all health tested and have earned their OFA AKC CHIC health certification. I rigorously screen potential families to make sure that my puppies get good homes and that 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. Starting at 4 weeks of age I have weekly puppy parties so that families and pups can start building a loving bond. At these events we share knowledge about the breed. For instance we talk about training, feeding, showing and health information.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and white, mantle merle, harlequin, mantle, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
