🥰🤩🥳 we are in the home stretch!!! Congrats Hawthorne!!!

02/05/2024

🥰 Let's go Hawthorne 🥰

24/04/2024

We are excited for the results so of course we delve deeper down the rabbit hole and found this super informative video about what it is OFA looks for in a Hip evaluation!

Knowing what to look for on our Radiographs gives us a good feeling for Hawthorne's results. Sneak peek in the comments 🥰

Dr Dave Thompson , explains what OFA technicians are looking for/at on radiographs/xrays and what the different gradings mean!

24/04/2024

Hawthorne had his Cardiac and OFA hips exam yesterday! While we have to wait for results to come back on the Radiographs sent to OFA for eval we were given the all clear on his BCD test!

03/04/2024

Look at Miss Sassafras (from our trees litter) doing so well 😍

25/03/2024

Good news!!! Hawthorne's results are in!!!

He is clear for both Ichthyosis and Inherited Myopathy and not that it was a question but yep he's 100% great dane 🥰

We will be submitting these along with his OFAs etc when he turns 2! We are one step closer!

Hawthorne also, as we expected carries Black (KB/ky) and Fawn (ay/ay) with mask and will likely throw for Brindles if we pair him right since his sire was a Brindle. He tested negative for the Merle gene so he is not a cryptic Merle and is safe to breed to a spotted female!!!

07/03/2024

It's mail day!!! Hawthornes genetic test is here! This is just a bit of extra testing we will be doing on top of his hip heart thyroid and eyes! We can't wait! 2 years weve been watching him grow into an amazing boy!

Sassafras is going into heat now and since she wont be 2 until next month we can expect her next cycle to mean puppies!!! Her health testing should be completed by then so those that are waiting we should have a fully health tested litter on the ground in the next 8-9 months! 🤞🤞

02/03/2024

Guess who just had his OFA's, heart, eyes, and thyroid scheduled for the end of April 😍 That's right Hawthorne!

He will pass with flying colors we just know it! We will also be running a full genetic health panel. Once his results are in, he will become available to select Females for Stud Work. Hoping to have a CHIC number ready sometime in May! This will also make us part of the AKC's H.E.A.R.T program 🥰 anything we can do to better the breed!

Sassafras will soon be following him with her testing. We will announce more on her when she is scheduled!

Aspen (a.k.a Haku) is excelling at his service training. His handler tells us his alerts are on point and they couldn't be happier with him! Which means we couldn't be prouder!

We love getting updates on our pups! Keep them coming!

Considering a puppy?

Ask your potential breeder to show you a video of the mother and father either sharing a bone/treat or eating from the same food dish. If you get anything other than the requested video, WALK AWAY!

Bred aggression cannot be trained out, only managed. There is nothing worse or more stressful than bringing home an adorable puppy only for them to start fighting.

The best way to improve a breed is to make sure we are breeding dogs with sound temperament. Food, toy, human, child, kennel or any other form of aggression should be an automatic no for breeding potential.

In this video is Hawthorne and Willow from our Trees Litter. Both are hopefully joining our program when they reach the age of 2 and pass their testing! So far temperament is a ✅️for both!

04/05/2023

Hawthorne at 1 year excelling at his service training!

1 more year and he will be going in for his OFA's. He has the drive and the temperment we love so we are hoping for him to be a perfect future Stud!

Willow is looking for a guardian home, co-own, or forever home.

AKC registered (limited with full only available to approved applicants or under co-own terms) female Harlequin. Fully Vaxxed from a licensed vet including rabbies, Microchipped, and training has begun. Excellent with dogs cats kids and people but can be a little shy at first. Opens up quickly. She is kennel and leash trained. She's very quick to learn and an excellent snuggler!

We had three excellent candidates for our program from her litter and while we would love to keep them all unfortunately we had to make a difficult choice!

As of today she is 5 months old. Estimated Adult weight 140-160lbs with a 65% euro structure. She will come with a go-home kit and a custom collar.

Located in NW Louisiana.

Pm for additional details.

With Aspen having gone home today the house is so quiet 😭 but with 100% of this litter having gone into Service/working dog homes we know they will be filling big jobs and living their best lives!

Can't wait to watch them all progress through their training and become the best Service Dogs out there!

21/08/2022

Happy 4 months to our trees litter!!! All growing and thriving so beautifully!

21/06/2022

Aspen is the last to find a home. This sweet boy would love a couch or bed to hog of his own!!!

He loves other dogs kids and and people in general. He is very astute! Always the first to notice someome enter a room!

15/06/2022

Our "littlest" boy Aspen just tipped the scales of 18lbs!!!

Not even 8 weeks yet! These will be BIG Danes for sure! We have 2 already over 20lbs 😱

14/06/2022

These two boys still need their forvever families. They will be RTG at 8 weeks on Thursday 😱

Hawthorne is already pushing the 20lb weight limit for most flights so he may need to be picked up! Aspen still has time to fly but pick-up is preferred!

Both go home UTD on vaccines and deworming, ENS completed, volhard/temperment testing results, a 2-year congenital health guarentee, 6mo virtual training classes, full medical history and health certification from a licensed vet, pre-registered microchip and registration documents, a welcome folder and a go-home kit with all the essentials, (Toys.

We are located in NW Louisiana. Any other questions just ask!!

Big Boy Hawthorne scored almost as high as he did in his weight class 😍 18lbs and counting at just 7 weeks!

Hawthorne scored extremely high in trainability and the potential for Service work! He is highly food and people motivated. Very little will bother this pup and he would do well in almost any enviornment. He would prefer to be in an only dog home so he can focus on his handler but would do well with a trained dog family or a family with children to give him the work around! He would not do well in a simple pet home, Hawthorne will need a home that can exercise his brain and give him a job he will love!

11/06/2022

Aspen showed off his stuff on Test day!

Aspen tested as well rounded and good for an experienced pet home. He would love to be in a home with children or other dogs. While he is shy and a bit nervous he is also the perfect dog for protecting your home and family. He is alert and knows when something is a-paw! He will be easy to train albiet require a bit more time than the average to learn!

11/06/2022

Little miss Sassy passed her test! Her Volhard test that is!

Sassafras scored well for an experienced home, she will be bossy and has a pack leader mentality. She has a tendency to be independant but is also happy to love when love is given! She will require training but will be easy to train!

11/06/2022

The results are in!!!! Volhard temperament test results for Willow are as follows:

7 weeks!!!!!

Willow scored well for an experienced home! She will need training but she will be easy to train for sure. She is loving and kind but still a little shy!

11/06/2022

Spa and claws day for 4 pups (and their toys!) 7 weeks 😱 can you believe it!!!

Desensitization to grooming is an essential aspect of a well rounded puppy and adult! These pups have had weekly baths and nail trimmings every week starting at 2 weeks! There will be no fussing from these sweet babies!

Proper manners starts with your breeder!

10/06/2022

Pups had their first thunderstorm today! ⛈️

New things can be scary but they were more curious than anything! When the ⚡struck they were a little startled but went right back to curiousity! Such good babies!
