Dawns Danes - About Us

ABOUT US

We are located in southwest Missouri.
We are not a kennel, we are a family. We have six adult danes, and they all live in the house with us as do their
puppies until they leave here. We do not have any outside facilities at all. Our house is arranged to accommodate
our danes and their puppies. We always welcome visitors. We decided to breed Great danes because we think
that everybody should have at least one. We go to extreme measures to make sure that each one of our puppies
are the best that it can be. We make sure that our puppies leave here socially, emotionally and physically
prepared for the world. We have a nursery set up for mom and the puppies. There is someone with them at all
times. They have their dew claws removed, scheduled vaccinations, and worming. We begin their nail trimming
and bathing at an early age so they are use to it before going to their new homes. We crate train them, leash
brake them and begin potty training them at 4 weeks old. We also begin socializing them at this age. We go on
outings each week. We go to daycares, nursing homes, dog parks, and pet stores. I introduce them to elderly
people, young people, babies, other dogs, cats, horses, and cows. I try to make sure that no matter what they
encounter in their new homes they will be ready. When you get a puppy from us you are not getting a dog, you are
getting a family member. At the same time as preparing our puppies for their new homes we strive to make sure
the new homes they find are fit for them. We only sell to indoor homes. Danes are social by nature and do not do
well outside. We also do not sell to breeders. We do not believe dogs are meant to be kept in cages. Most
breeders have kennels. Our babies ARE NOT kennel dogs! Our puppies are mostly sold on limited registration.
We do make exceptions for Experienced show homes and approved breeding programs. Please read our
contract thoroughly before deciding on one of our puppies. Some may think it a little harsh, but we take the
safety and well being of our animals very seriously. To reach us just visit our contact us page. Please refer to
puppies by collar color. Thanks!
