Application
Process
Potential Purchaser must complete
Puppy Application
process first. We are very selective in the homes we place
our puppies in. We reserve the right to refuse purchase to anyone
at anytime. The puppy will only be sold with the understanding
that it is to go to select home, be socialized properly, and become
a member of the family.
Health Guarantee
Our puppies are guaranteed against congenital defects for 2
years. If puppy is found to suffer from congenital defect by
certified veterinarian a replacement puppy will be offered to
Buyer. Health guarantee is covered in detail in contract. No
monies will be refunded. We also offer a lifetime of Breeder
support.
Deposits
We require a $500.00 deposit to hold a puppy. Deposit are first
come first serve basis. You can make your deposit using PayPal,
cash, certified check or money order. Please remember if you
are mailing deposit puppy will not be held until deposit has
been received. We do not accept personal checks. Deposits are
non-refundable.
Pricing and Payment
All puppies must be paid in full including shipping by 8 weeks.
Our pricing is $2000-$3000.
Bringing Home Your Puppy
Pickup and delivery for your puppy is between 8-10 weeks old.
You will want to puppy proof your home. Watch for areas that
could be tight squeezes behind stoves, between banisters, where
a puppy could get trapped. Heavy items on tables that could
tip over and fall on puppy (their tails are also known for knocking
things over). Stairwells, patio, porches and open windows that
could lead to fall. Access to common items such as household
cleaners, air fresheners, poisonous houseplants, antifreeze
and exposed wiring and extension cords. Remember puppies love
to chew and eat things that could be very harmful. Therefore
keeps items off floor and out of range. You will want to purchase
some puppy supplies such as raised food and water bowls, collar,
leash, toys, quality puppy food and crate.
Obedience Training
The purchaser must teach or have puppy/dog trained in basic
obedience. Great Danes are in working class dog therefore they
love training. Please remember that many adult Great Danes can
weigh over 150 pounds which means training is a must!
Crate Training
Crate training takes advantage of the dog’s innate desire
to keep its den clean, but it does require a regular plan for
puppy feeding and then subsequent trips outside to the relief
place. When crate training is used along with a feeding/relief
trip plan and you add a lot of praise when puppy does what you
want, housebreaking becomes much simpler.
Nutrition
Feeding a Great Dane correctly involves special dietary considerations
(such as monitoring protein levels for pups) throughout life
of the dog. If fed a diet with too high in protein, may put
on muscle and tissue somewhat faster than their skeletal structure
can grow and support the weight. You want to keep the protein
at 24% or lower. Always feed a good quality dog food and stay
away from dog food that have “by products”. By products
are most likely beaks, feathers, and feet.
Ear Cropping
We do not offer ear cropping. If you are going to have ears
cropped need to be done no later than 10 weeks old. Do your
homework to find experienced skilled veterinarian for Great
Dane ears. We would be more than happy to answer any questions
you have about ear cropping.
Spay/Neuter
All of our puppies are sold with a limited registration, unless
approved for full registration with a breeder/show home. Why
spay/neuter: Fixing your dog prevents pregnancy and birth of
unwanted puppies. It avoids the need to restrain the dog during
estrus. It keeps both sexes from roaming away from your house
in search of a mate. It reduces the tendency of male dog to
urinate in the house, marking his territory. Licensing fees
are cheaper. It avoids reproductive problems such as tumors,
pyrometer, false pregnancy, prostate infections, and old age
cancers.
Shipping and Delivery
All puppies go to new homes at 8-10 weeks of age and never before.
Buyer may schedule an appointment to come to our home for puppy
pick up. We can drive some distance to meet Buyer to deliver
puppy or puppy can be shipped. If puppy is being shipped Health
certifications are required to be performed within 10 days of
puppy being shipped.
