Weco Danes
Meet the breeder
I'm Wendy C., the breeder behind Weco Danes located in New Castle, PA. Weco Danes is built upon a foundation of love, admiration, & respect for the Great Dane. We offer top-quality pups bred with love! In a list of importance, my number one priority is temperament followed closely by health and conformation. My dogs are companions first and show dogs second. I enjoy showing in conformation and have several dogs who work as therapy dogs. My goal is to provide families with well-rounded companions.
Q. & A. with Wendy
Why did you start breeding?
I have always loved the Great Dane breed but did not own one until about 35 years ago. The first Dane I bred was mantle colored. I then purchased a brindle and began showing in conformation. She became a champion and following her health testing, I bred her. I have been breeding fawn and brindle colored Danes ever since. I continue to show in conformation and have also been training for therapy work. Currently, I am pursuing my judging license through AKC.What makes your program special?
My dogs are healthy, well socialized, and incredibly loved. My breeding program is unique because of the time and attention I take with each breeding and the care I take to match the right families with my puppies. It would be my pleasure to introduce you 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.

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.
