Our Great Dane Philosophy
Our Great Dane Philosophy
Danes are wonderful, loving and funny family members.We feel that our
danes are bred to be the best friend you could ever have! Our breeding
program focuses on ensuring a very laidback dog with a stable, outgoing
temperament and a sound, healthy individual that can be your happy companion
for many years.I like to have all of the pups placed in loving, permanent
homes before they are born-if at all possible-so I know that they will all
have families to love them after they are here. So we always have a
reservation list active to place the puppies in preapproved homes.If you
would want to go to the litters page at www.dynamitedanes.com our full
adoption contract and guarantee is at the ADOPTION CONTRACT link. If you
read through it you will know if we are on the same page as to the care and
nurture of the pup. We do conduct a preplacement interview, of course, and
will be glad to answer any questions you may have, too. Open, honest
communication between breeder and puppy parents makes for a much nicer
experience for all involved:)
Our males usually weigh between 175-200# as full grown dogs and are 34-37″
tall at the shoulder. The females are usually around 125-155#and are
usually about 32-35″ tall. Great danes are not fully mature until three
years of age. They grow up for two years and fill out fully the third year.
The main focus of our holistic breeding program is a long-lived and
completely
sound dog. We strive to breed healthy dogs with a laidback, loving
disposition-and we are successful at it! The overall quality of our pups is
very high and we guarantee their soundness in your adoption contract. We
love to place our babies in loving companion homes. Loving show homes are
also welcome. We believe that danes are happiest as family members, so we
are glad to place them in committed pet homes.
We have spent over fifteen years refining our line so that we can have a
predictably excellent outcome of our planned breedings. Our pups are glowing
with good health and bright eyed and eager to meet the world!
Our adoption fees for pups placed as pets start at $750 and go to around
$1250-1500 for a show-marked harlequin, black, mantle or blue placed as a
pet. The pet-marked blacks (with a little white on the chest or toes) and
imperfectly marked mantles and merles are the least costly at $750 and the
harls being more ($800-1000) and the blues($1250-1500) the most costly,
these distinctions have to do with the difficulty in breeding a particular
color successfully to produce sound and healthy puppies. We will gladly
place show-marked puppies as pets, but they are a little higher, of course.
The current and usual waiting time for a blue puppy is from six months to a
year as the reservation lists are quite extensive-great blues are hard to
find!
