"LIZA"
BRINDLE FEMALE PUPPY AVAILABLE
"BESS"
FAWN FEMALE PUPPY AVAILABLE
"Bess" is a very sweet, happy, outgoing, active and affectionate uncropped fawn female and is available to a loving home.  My preference is to place her into a home that will allow me to show her, but I am somewhat flexible on that requirement.  She has been well socialized with kids, dogs, is crate trained, travels well, doing great on house-breaking and beginning manners and much more.  She is current on wormings and vaccines as appropriate for age, has had dewclaws removed and is microchipped. She was born April 25, 2007.
  
She is out of health tested parents: American Canadian Champion Daynakin Bricarlo Mr. Wonderful Double D (Diesel) x American Canadian Ch. Daynakin Ruatha Ladyhawke (Abby).

Considering an adult Great Dane? Think about adopting an unwanted Dane from a reputable Great Dane Rescue program. If you are in the Pacific Northwest, please see information at www.Daneoutreach.org or if outside of the NW, go to www.gdca.org.  Not if an adult is right for you?  Consider being a foster home to get "up close and personal" and find out if Dane ownership is for you.


Do Your Homework!

Prior to purchasing a Great Dane, I strongly suggest that you do your homework.  This would include finding out if the breed is right for you, and knowing what to look for in a good breeder and a healthy puppy.  There are a number of good links to find out information on the breed.  I will be happy to provide them upon request. One excellent link is www. ginnie.com. I would consider the following to be "red flags"
and would be very hesitant about purchasing from that breeder.
No health testing on sire & dam   At the very minumum hips should be OFA certified, eyes CERF'd & Thyroid tested normal.  There is no excuse for not doing health testing on adult breeding stock. Ask to see PROOF and certification of health testing. "The dog looks healthy" is NOT enough!
Puppies removed from a litter prior to 7 weeks of age It is crucial for proper canine social development for puppies to remain with the litter until at least that age.
Claiming show quality puppies when the breeder does not show and never has. It takes an experienced breeder to determine if a puppy is show quality.  Show quality is more than color alone. Experience would include being in the breed for at least 10 years, showing and finishing a Championship on several dogs, and having produced several Champions.
Making claims of parents or grandparents being "showdogs".  Learn to understand termology.  A UKC or International Champion is not the same as an AKC Champion.  A AKC championship is far more difficult to get than any other type.
Registering dogs with a registry other than the American Kennel Club or Canadian Kennel Club  The Canadian Kennel Club should never be confused with the Continential Kennel Club. While both use the initials CKC, the Continential Kennel Club is only a tool for backyard breeders to register their non-AKC registerable dogs.  Many puppy mills and back yard breeders use the Cont. Kennel Club to register their dogs because they cannot be registered with the AKC (American Kennel Club).
No contract, no guarentees, no "right of first refusal", no paperwork When you leave with your puppy, you should know that the breeder takes an interest in you and the welfare of the puppy.  The vast majority of "good" breeders will have a detailed sales contract, puppy care packet, complete vet records and more.
"Selling" registration papers If the breeder is charging more for the puppy "with papers".  Ethical breeders do not do that.  Check out the AKC site at www.akc.org for rules regarding same.
Nothing Done  Nothing is done; the puppy has not received vaccines, wormings, nails have never been clipped, no socialization, no contract and return clause, no breeder support system.....showing a decided lack of concern and knowledge.
Puppies raised outside; or in dirty surroundings Puppies need to be around people!  And it goes without saying they need to be kept clean!
The Responsible Breeder
1. The Responsible Breeder only places dog/pup by contract.
2. The Responsible Breeder places dogs/pups with a health guarantee.
3. The Responsible Breeder insists on the return of a dog/pup should the purchaser be unable to keep the dog/pup during that pet's lifetime.
4. The Responsible Breeder carefully interviews prospective owners and has specific requirements that are to be met such as: dog/puppy is to be altered if the breeder is not already practising early altering.
The dog/puppy is not allowed to roam outdoors in unfenced areas or unsupervised, etc. Interviews will include veterinarian, references, etc.
5. The Responsible Breeder is willing and able to educate. He/she happily answers any/all questions regarding the breed and his/her  
breeding program to any interested people, whether or not they are potential buyers.
6. The Responsible Breeder insists on being informed of any health, genetic,or behavioral problems the dog/puppy may develop in its lifetime and will strongly recommended that the owner periodically test for
thyroid, eye conditions and other health issues known to the breed.
7. The Responsible Breeder does not have more dogs/puppies then he/she is able to keep clean, healthy and well socialized.
8. The Responsible Breeder spends individual time with each of his/her dogs/puppies.
9. The Responsible Breeder is very concerned with excellent temperament in his/her dogs/puppies as well
l as excellent health.
10. The Responsible Breeder makes him/herself available for advice to the owners throughout the life of the dogs/puppies he/she has placed at any time.
And most importantly, the responsible breeder helps breed rescue by insuring his/her dogs do not end up in rescue and helping those who do.
