Here at Blue River Danes, we are a small family devoted to producing quality danes with great temperaments, and conformation. All of our dogs are socialized to young children, and a variety of other animals. A Dane that doesn’t meet with our expectation is not used in our breeding program.
Nestled at the base of Hatchers Pass in Palmer Alaska is a very small but lovely Home or Kennel as Christine has come to call it. It was 2002 when our Dream Kennel was completed on Rainbow Trout Infested Walby Lake. Christine and I built “Assay Acres” our Dream house not knowing that some of the most loving People and Animals in the world would come to join us as well as depart from us here. Our Family which consists of My wife Christine our Daughters Brandie and Courtny, as well as Sons Frankie & Joshua, Grandson Jessie, Granddaughter Daisy and myself the Lord of the Manor Frank, when the Dogs are outside.
Our dogs are members of the family and live in our home. We believe in breeding for temperament and health. We own three black girls, two blue girls and a blue male. My daughter owns a harlequin girl and my son owns Paisley, the fawn girl. We are very proud of our blue male stud Shadow. He is out of a champion sire, Ch. Rhodesend Sharon’s Why Not (Huey) and grandson to BISS CH Sharcon’s Tomahawk. He has been health cleared for hips, heart, thyroid and eyes.
We health test all of the dogs in our show/breeding program, and encourage pet owners to health test also. Most of those health tests are shown at the Orthopedic Foundation of Animals (OFA) website: http://www.offa.org. Although not all completed tests are submitted to this public database, most are completed and records kept of results. Likewise, all of our show/breeding dogs are registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC), and we suggest that all pet puppy owners register their puppies. Some of our puppies never get registered in AKC, but applications to do so are provided at the time a puppy is released to its new owner.
Our Danes are so very special to us and they are all very much a part of our family, they bring us so much joy and we are very grateful to have them as a part of our lives. Each one of them has a special personality and a great temperament and is greatly loved. We have been raising Danes since 1977.

Dawn & Carol have been involved in showing and breeding danes since the late 1990’s, while Tiffany joined Quartermile-CC Danes in 2011 and began handling our Danes in late summer 2013. She really enjoys it and does a terrific job! We are members of the Great Dane Club of America, The Great Dane Club of Pa. (Tiffany & Dawn) and the Great Dane Club of Lehigh Valley (Carol). We strive to produce quality Blue and Black Great Danes that are healthy, have outstanding temperaments and breed type. All of our pups are raised in our homes and breeding adults have been health certified.
Those of us who breed and show successfully spend far more on our Danes than we ever get back from sales. We spent way more than you can image in trying to improve and maintain the healthiest, excellent personalities that will make the very best family members. We breed for ourselves when we plan to keep a puppy and as a result usually have Danes to place in loving forever families. If you approach a breeder, it is very much appreciated to give honest praise of the Danes you admire. Describe your own goals as a Dane owner. Then politely request to know if the breeder may be able to help further those goals. Only at that point bring up price. If you don’t like the price, move on, please don’t haggle.
Linda and Jerry Lauermann have owned Great Danes for over 40 years. Any breeding has been carefully selected with the first focus on health and temperament, these puppies being family members first. As a result, we can take pride in having many Great Danes in the line living 12 to 14 years old. We currently have one who recently celebrated her 14th birthday, with littermates and the dam living 12-13 yrs. Along with health and temperament, we have focused on improving conformation and color with any proposed litter. We want to produce the finest looking, best moving lap dogs in the ring or on the family’s couch!
We have had a love of large dogs for over 20 years. Julius and Tini are our first Blue Great Danes and they are a joy to everyone. We specialize in breeding only Blue and Black dogs. You will catch Julius, Jackson, Gia, Julian and Tristan at different events around the show ring. They are also helping out others by representing the breed for our local Dane Rescue and being canine blood donors.

My goals are very similar to my mentors. And that is to raise healthy (both physically and mentally) Great Danes that also exemplify all the qualities the breed standard calls for. This includes temperament as well as structural aspects of the breed. Striving for sound bodies and minds led me to question the traditional way of raising our dogs.
Blueprint Danes is a small hobby breeder specializing in Blue Great Danes. Starting out, I have always had a fascination with Giant breed Dogs. So when i finally bought my first dog it was no surprise that it was a Great Dane. Their regal-ness, sweet nature, and goofiness drew me right toward them. I continue to show in conformation and breed for myself and the show ring first. Health, Longevity and breeding for only the betterment of the breed are the main focuses of Blueprint Danes.
