I'm Sarah L., the breeder behind Wheaton Prairie Danes-www.wpdanes.com located in Chippewa Falls, WI. All our dogs are health tested before breeding for hips, heart, eyes, and thyroid. Our program ensures the right fit for your new puppy. We use Puppy Culture from the start, train to a puppy door, train to use stairs and are socialized around other animals and people of all ages. We use only the best products for the puppies from the start.
Q. & A. with Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
After buying one of my dogs I didn't like what I saw from some breeders. Then I found several mentors to teach me everything I needed to know and educated myself on the specific breed. I knew I could do better to improve the breed and decided to start breeding.
What makes your program special?
I have a strict return policy if a family can not care for a dog. We microchip each puppy, vet each puppy, require spay/neuter, have lifetime breeder support and have a secret Facebook group for anyone that has gotten a puppy from us. You can post pictures, ask questions or find someone else in your area to set up a play date with. You become part of the Wheaton Prairie family.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue and white, silver, chocolate and white, chocolate, blue brindle, black and white, brindle, fawn, blue, harlequin, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
