Dawns Danes - About Us

ABOUT US

We are located in southwest Missouri.
We are not a kennel, we are a family. We have five 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 have a live in dog sitter to ensure our danes get all the love and attention they
deserve. We welcome visitors at anytime . 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 5 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, and cats. 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.
