I have had dogs ALL my life but I came to LOVE the BIG dogs in high school when I started obedience competitions. I started out with German Shepherds and was always highly successful with them but for me, something was missing so I tried my hand at Great Danes and still today have these giant dogs at my side (in numbers usually). Today I run a small Great Dane breeding operation that includes 4 producing females which are as well a part of my family. I guess what I am saying is after breeding, whelping, raising and competing dogs for the last 30+ years, I believe you can trust your dog should feel safe and understood while in my care. I know if you hire me once it won't be long before your dog will call me family and not feel so alone when you just can't be there for them.
