Frequently
Asked Questions
We have been breeding
great danes for 6 years now. We have several litters a
year depending on our waiting list. 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 304-496-7179. We invite
anyone wanting a puppy to stop by and visit us and the
parents of the puppies.
