This is long, yes, we readily admit that.
But we will need to cover all these questions when we talk. So this gives you the chance to give thoughtful answers. You are adding a new member of the family. You should expect nothing less than thoroughness and care in our breeding decisions, whelping, rearing, and socializing of the puppy, and certainly it's placement into a permanent home.

We will use these answers to MATCH you with a puppy. If you have a sedate, calm home, you probably don't want an energizer bunny puppy. Conversely, if you got to soccer matches every Saturday, drag puppy to the park, or have people in and out of your home at all hours, you probably don't want the softer puppy either.

Submitting this form does not obligate you to purchase a puppy nor does it guarantee that we will have a puppy for you.
This allows us to get to know you and learn why you are interested in purchasing and owning a Great Dane.
If you have questions about our dogs or how danes will fit into your family, please feel free to email or call us at any time.
