Why Tall Tails?

Here are a few reasons that our pups so special:

Mom and dad are our pets. We do not breed for profit, we do it for education. We fell in love with the breed, and our hearts shattered when we realized some breeders do not care about the animals they breed. One of our beautiful girls, Patience, was bred under such conditions, and ended up with a family that didn't know how to care for Great Danes properly. After rescuing her, we decided to breed to show that Great Danes are amazing and beautiful dogs.

At times we have had 6 or more Danes in our home. Our dogs have lived side by side with newborns, toddlers, cats, and all of our visitors and friends. In short, our Danes are family.

When we breed we allow nature to take its course. If it happens it happens.... we don't force it. After one of our females gets pregnant we make sure that she has at least a year rest before the possibility of another litter. We are with mommy to support her as she delivers, all day and night if necessary! We handle the pups from day one and make sure all dogs are healthy and safe. After a few days we introduce the puppies to our daughters (ages 4 and 2). Mama dog must give her approval, but after she does the girls get to pet and talk to the puppies. Our four year old even helps with their cleaning and feeding. Our pups are introduced to kids early on to ensure confidence of the pups and reduce fear or aggression.

We treat our pups with deworming at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks old. We start mush at 3 weeks old and slowly introduce them to different flavors of food to avoid or acknowledge allergies.

From the day they are born they are in the middle of the action in our busy home, not tucked away in a quiet room. We allow them to get use to all the sounds and smells of a working home.

Our pups are evaluated by a licensed vet who specializes in large breed dogs at 4 weeks and 8 weeks, and their first shots are completed at 8 weeks old.

By 5 weeks old we begin working with the pups to break the pack mentality and help each pup grow confident on their own. By week 6 we start training the pups to come to a specific name (if given by new owners) or a specific sound and start to potty train.

We also work with our pups on something I like to call “scruff training.” We help desensitize the puppies to having their paws, tails, ears, and scruff messed with. This allows the puppies to tolerate play with humans and other animals with limited aggressive behavior.

Lastly, before the pups go to their forever homes we microchip them and pay for a lifetime membership of AKC Reunite for you.

To adopt one of our pups, we require an application process to ensure the happiness of both the puppies and you, the new owner.

If you are looking for a gentle giant to add to your family, please look no further! Private message us for the puppy application or with any questions you may have. We would love to add you to our family as you add a sweet baby to yours. 🧡

At our four-week check-up, the babies are not showing any signs of being impressed or fazed by their new surroundings. They seem to be taking everything in stride and are not easily perturbed.

Momma trivia is settling in to her new bed for the next 30 days. We get a puppy count next week. Anyone want to make a guess?

06/08/2023

Good evening! So we have some exciting news. Jack (aka kissy face) could not hide his love for trivia, he busted down the door and spent some "quality time" with her even though it was loki's turn 🤣. After two different ultrasounds this week it looks like one tie was enough and we are expecting puppies. This is the same mom and dad as the Halloween litter. We get a puppy count in 2 weeks. Sometimes the unplanned miracles are the greatest ones. Message us for an application if you are interested. We allow pick in the order we receive the applications.

Due to no fault of her own, this baby girl was unable to go to a home when her brothers and sisters did. Now she is ready to find a couch to call her own. She is 7 months old and full of love and s***k! If you are interested please send a pm to Tall Tails Great Danes.

Due to no fault of her own, mocha has been returned to us. Pending vet care and full recovery from an injury of unknown causes while not in our care, she will be ready to find her true forever home. We will continue to update the page with updates on her progress, but for now, she is on strict orders of bed rest and extra love ❤️

01/12/2023

We are happy to announce that all of Willow's puppies are now in their forever homes. Thank you for the ongoing support and love. We are planning to breed Trivia and Loki sometime this summer when she goes into heat. Please follow us for updates.🤞🤞 This is the mom of the Halloween litter, and the dad of our fall coffee litter.
