Meet the breeder
I'm Rachael B., the breeder behind Waldhaus located in Kingston, MA. We offer 3/4 euro Danes. Raised in home with grandchildren visits, daily client visits and play time with cairn terrier Fiona. Our pup's are bread for temperament. Mom is a happy active girl, up for long walks, cuddles on the couch, no feet. Dad is a very laid back service dog type. Both have very nice European lines.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Waldhaus 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.
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.
