Frequently
Asked Questions
We have been breeding
great danes for 5 years now. We average approximately
a litter a year, however this year we may breed several
of our females. We do not breed dogs for a living. I am
a veterinarian, and my husband is a marketing analyst.
We breed our pet danes as a hobby and hope that most of
them go to pet homes. We do have show quality puppies,
and will offer show marked puppies to qualified homes.
Merles, whites, and mis-marked mantles will all be offered
on limited registration to pet homes. We do not breed
our females until they are at least 2 years old, and males
when they are at least one year old. All of our breeding
males and females have preliminary radiographs performed
to evaluate their hips, and OFA hip certification sent
away for anyone over 2. We do not have a kennel, and do
not sell puppies to pet shops or high volume breeding
facilities. All of our dogs are housetrained and are able
to spend quality time as family pets. We do not breed
dogs with behavioral problems, or with medical problems.
Our adult dogs are fed high quality foods and are kept
on heartworm prevention (Heart guard or Sentinel), and
treated with Frontline monthly. Our puppies are whelped
inside of our house, and have daily interaction with our
entire family, including children, cats, and other dogs.
We do offer a health guarantee. All of our puppies are
sold on a contract stating that if you ever must find
a new home for your dane, it must be returned to us at
your expense. This is to prevent any puppies from ever
ending up in an animal shelter or in the hands of an irresponsible
person. Before you consider us for a dane puppy, please
make sure that you are certain you are able to provide
a forever home. Our puppies are bred for temperment, health,
and quality. They will be socialized from birth and handled
daily. All puppies will be vaccinated, dewormed, and examined
by a veterinarian. We update pictures of the puppies on
our website weekly and are free to answer questions about
puppies on a daily basis. Our puppies are sent home with
a CD of pictures taken of them from birth, as well as
photos of their parents, and littermates. They also will
go home with AKC registration papers, health certificates,
a 5 generation pedigree with pictures, and a blanket with
the scent from their mother and littermates. We hope that
the sale of our puppies will not be the end of a transaction,
but will be the beggining of a new friendship. We offer
lifetime breeder support and hope that all of our puppy
owners stay in contact. Please feel free to contact me
at shafferdanes@yahoo.com or call 334-707-1391. We invite
anyone wanting a puppy to stop by and visit us and the
parents of the puppies.
