Our Great Dane Site

Hi, I am Gale Renz, owner of Dynamite Great Danes and we are glad to welcome you to our website. My husband (John) and I have been Great Dane breeders for about seventeen years. We had them as pets before that and became very interested in breeding a line of companions that would be all that a Dane could be. Included in this philosophy is a desire to breed Great Danes that live a long and prosperous life, similar to Great Danes from good German foundation stock, which can live from twelve to fourteen years. Currently, the life expectancy of a Dane bred in the U.S. is somewhat lower. Our Danes are averaging a lifespan of ten to twelve years at this time.

Update:

Long awaited litter of blue puppies born! Sophia & Cobalt Blue (first litter for both) have a beautiful, vibrant litter of 8 (4 boys & 4 girls) blue velvet babies together. These pretty babies were born January 10th and will be ready to go home with their forever families in early March. At this time all of these pretty babies have loving homes awaiting them. Sofia & Coby's litter can be seen here

Plans for 2010:

Winter & spring may well bring a couple of more litters that we have planned. Star will have puppies in late February with Garth, and Graysee has been bred to Earl Grey for her first litter which is planned to arrived in early March. There are several puppies reserved from their litters at this time. So we will be busy this winter and are looking forward to welcoming these babies to the world. We are currently taking reservations for our winter/spring puppies. Our available puppies, when we have them can be seen here. If you are interested in adding one of our sweet babies from an upcoming litter to your family, contact Gale at 712-647-2973 or email at momrenz@gmail.com.

Our puppy photo album will be updated weekly so that you will be able to watch these pretty puppies grow! The puppies as well as their parents and litter photos are available for you for viewing HERE.

We always maintain an active reservation list to insure that we have committed, prescreened forever families for our Dynamite Dane babies! We are currently taking reservations for our fall 2009 litters. Please call Gale or email for information on placement, availability, and reservations.

Please, email Gale at momrenz@gmail.com or call me at (712) 647-2973 between 6-9 PM CDT during the week and most any time on the weekend. I will be glad to visit with you about our danes and their puppies.You are always welcome to leave a message and your call will be returned as soon as is possible. Saturday visits are always encouraged and welcomed. We will be glad to schedule a time to have you meet our Great Danes in person.

Who we are

We are very dedicated Great Dane breeders from Iowa and are raising our dogs holistically and with lots of love to ensure their best possible start in life. John and I raise all of our breeding stock from pups so we can assist in their development, training and overall comprehension to  ensure a sound temperament. We are located on acreage in the Loess Hills of Iowa and our Great Danes are pasture dwellers, as opposed to being confined to kennel runs. Of course, they have kennels as well, but with the room to run, they get plenty of exercise and build greater muscular development. This is very important as Great Danes are so laid back in temperament, they could easily become couch potatoes, one and all!

Comments from a buyer of one of our puppies... Hi Gale, I took some pictures of our Great Dane Zeus, thought you might like to see our "king". He is such a doll. We all love him, and he is truly my best friend. I cannot express to you in words what an important member of the family he is. He believes he is a "lap dog" and actually sits on the couch, his feet on the floor, like a person, and watches t.v. He is just the best dog we have ever had. Thank you for your honesty and assistance in picking the right pup for us. You couldn't have chosen a better great dane for our family. Amy

Hi Gale, did I ever email you my website for us? It's www.ranjinsingh.com ... there are some great photos of Yampa! This last episode was very Yampa heavy...so we will be sure to get you the copy when all is said and done! We are going back on Access Hollywood too...we are doing the taping this wed and then I'll let you know when it will air.

Just looked at your website...that True Blue is a gorgeous amazing looking dog Gale! Jeez! I wish I were in a position to get a puppy from that upcoming litter! But alas, I have my hands more than full playing stage mom to my Yampa right now! :)
