Championship Quality AKC Fawn & Brindle Great Danes
For Show, Performance and Companionship
Once in awhile, we have adult dogs of our breeding available. Generally these are retired showdogs or occassionally a dog that has been returned due to family circumstances. As of Aug. 28, 2009 we do not personally have any adults available. If you are seeking a quality adult dog, please check back from time to time. If you wish, you may sign up to my Yahoo email list so you can be notified if an adult becomes available. Click here to sign up.
I would also recommend you consider adopting an adult Dane through a qualified rescue group. Our local (Washington state) Great Dane rescue is Dane Outreach. Please visit their site for adoption requirements and a listing of available dogs.
Should you choose to adopt, please deal only with an estabilished, reputable rescue. Be wary of dogs advertised "for free" on Craigslist or other such venues. Often dogs advertised in places like that have actually been turned down by valid rescues because of temperament or behavior problems. If you choose to view a dog listed on such a venue, you would be well advised to take an experienced dog person with you to assist in evaluating the dog to make sure the placement would be a good fit for you. All qualified rescues require altering before placement. Never adopt an excessively shy/fearful dog or one that has exhibited human aggression. Those dogs should never be offered for rehoming as they are an extreme liability and danger.
AVAILABLE THROUGH DANE OUTREACH
Dane Outreach has many nice dogs available for adoption. Please visit the site and see if one of these dogs might make you the perfect pet. Please note people with an approved application receive notice of available dogs first, so often dogs are not on the site--fill out an application to stay updated. Please visit the Dane Outreach site at www.daneoutreach.org to review home requirements and to complete an application.
"Sophie"
Sire: Ch. Terminetor - B del Castello Gamenario (Oscar)
Dam: Keymaster's R U The Purple Reign (Reign)
Sophie is a 3 year old blue female Dane who is spayed, microchipped, and current on shots. She adores all people, is good with cats, and older children. She enjoys playing with toys, sleeping on the couch, giving kisses and snuggling. She is housebroken, crate trained, has good house and leash manners, and does fine alone during the day. She is not destructive in any way.
Both of Sophie's parents had all the health testing recommended by the Great Dane Club of America. Pictures of her father can be found at http://theoscar.net/.
Sophie is an incredibly sweet and loving Dane. She was raised in a loving, caring home but due to the demands of work and a young child with health issues, she is now looking for a new forever home.
Sadly for super-sensitive Sophie, she was repeatedly exposed to off leash dogs while she was on leash. Because of this, she has a learned fear of strange dogs. She's made a lot of progress, but she will probably always be leery when other dogs approach. While she enjoys the occasional short walk, she only needs a decent-sized yard in which to play. Sophie is an ideal "stay at home" companion. She has all the advantages of a small dog in a big dog package.
Sophie needs:
- To be an only dog
- Calm, peaceful indoor environment
- Consistent rules and boundaries
- Owners who travel only very occasionally or will hire an in-home dog
sitter
- Owners that are calm, assertive, and dog savvy

"Sammy"
OK, so Sammy isn't a Dane, but he's my second favorite breed, a Ridgeback. One of my clients needs to rehome him, so I thought I'd go ahead and list him on my page. He's an adult male, excellent quality (finished AKC Champion). He would do best in a home with a female dog of his size to play with. He needs to go into an experienced, dog-savy home who is used to large dogs and can provide structure and guidelines. A "job" for him might not be a bad idea either. He is not a good fit for homes with small kids or lack of large-dog experience. If interested, email me and I will forward the information on.
