We own and breed harlequin, black and merle great danes. All of our dogs are from BMW Kennels in Long Island with many coming from Alaska and even as far away as Germany. BMW stands for: Black, Merle and White, which is what is typically found among the BMW bloodline. BMW Danes consistently are in the top 10 percent of the world of Great Dane Bloodlines according to Great Dane Club of America Est. 1889 Hall of Fame and Register of Merit. The bloodline produces primarily Harlequins, Mantles, and Black with white markings.
