NEWSFLASH - ANNUAL GREAT DANE CLUB OF WNY PICNIC INFORMATION!!!!
See New link!!! I hope you can join us!
My dogs are raised in my home. I do not kennel and I do not sell them to anyone who plans on kenneling them. Great Danes are to social and wonderful to be kept away from the people they love. My pups are whelped in my family room where they stay until they are ready to go to their new homes. I believe in socializing them as much as possible.
I recommend all new puppy buyers to get their new family member into an obedience/socialization class as soon as the second shots have been done. Great danes grow so fast that you want to be in control before they are as big as you! If you don't want them to behave badly at 150 lbs don't allow them to do so at 25 lbs.
Sundown Danes started in 1994 when I bought my home. I bought my first dane as my house warming present to myself! At that time the breeder said "you will have another in the next year" I responded "Are you crazy???" She was right!
I have learned much along the way about the breed and the issues that come with it. I have relied on some wonderful mentors such as Linda Altomare from Magic Manor Danes and Steve Stevens from Sasdania! They have both been so kind in sharing their vast knowledge about the breed and the pedigrees! I have been fortunate enough to have a great friend David willing to handle, co-own, co-Breed some of my dogs as well! He has been a wonderful Mentor too!
My dogs are health tested and at the time of a breeding they are to my knowledge completely healthy! I believe Great Danes have to be SOUND in mind as well as body. My dogs are bred as much for their temperament as their beauty! I have tried to bring back some substance to the breed I love so much. I have bred in some European bloodlines and I am very happy with the results I am getting.
