Our Great Danes are AKC Certified and are truly great pets. We raise our dogs inside our home with our three children. Each of our dogs has a wonderful, unique personality that makes them great pets. We specialize in the breeding of Blue and Black Great Danes.
The original Laurado Great Danes was started in the 1950’s and was owned by Hazel Mage, so there are now over 60 years of champions carrying the Laurado name. It produced numerous champions and obedience title Danes, including some in the National Top Ten. Several people, still active in Danes today, got their first champion from the kennel or from Laurado stock.
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 believe it’s better for dogs to have some formal obedience training and encourage each new owner to take their baby to a local class.We show the danes and the havanese in both conformation and performance events, so we breed specifically towards those goals. I’m not usually home during the day as I work full time to support these dog hobbies.
Ocean Blue Danes believes in producing quality Great Danes where health, temperament, and conformation adheres to the guidelines set forth by the breed standard. The ultimate goal at Ocean Blue Danes is to produce healthy and happy Danes with an emphasis on correct conformation and longevity.
All of our puppies will be vaccinated and dewormed before going to new homes. They will be available once they are 8 weeks old. Purchasers with deposits can come and pick out a puppy before they are ready to go home. Purchasers will be required to read and sign our puppy contract, which can be found under our “Available Puppy” page. We are willing to ship our puppies to major airports in the U.S. (includes the cost of the puppy plus the shipping cost). We are also willing to help deliver your puppy for an additional cost.
I am an AKC CGC (Canine Good Citizen) Evaluator and taught public obedience classes for multiple years. Served as the Rescue Coordinator for the GDC of Des Moines Rescue program for several years and have volunteered for Upper Midwest Great Dane Rescue, PALS, and the Knoxville Humane Society.
My name is Stacie Stern-Leaphart and I live with my husband Steven, my 4 children: Samantha, Spencer, Schyler, and Sydnie. Also, sharing our home are our cats: George and Monroe, and, of course, our Danes: Yaz, Winston, Ben, Trump, Sera, and Fenway. My love for Danes began in childhood and I had my first Dane, a fawn (Rocky) while in high school and college. In 1992 I purchased my first show Dane, a brindle (Neil) and began showing him in California and then Hawaii. I chose the kennel name Ohana, (which is Hawaiian for family) because I feel that a Great Dane is the epitome of a family dog. No family is complete without a Dane.
Over 50 years for the love of Great Danes.

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.
Great Danes have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a huge dairy farm with a milking herd of 300 registered Holsteins. So anything like dog shows were not in the picture since running a farm of that magnitude was a 24/7 commitment. I did learn at a very young age, the importance of proper care of the farm animals and the preparations involved before cattle shows. I learned what it took to condition, groom and train.
“Classic Quality, Harlequin, Mantle and Merle”
My family has had Danes for almost 40 years, I started breeding in 2008. We decided to start breeding not only for the love of the breed but because it was hard to find a honest quality breeder that not only produced quality but was there for their puppy families every step of the way. We are pleased that our puppy families not only become our friends but they are like family. Because of our dedication to the breed and our puppies produced most of our puppy families have more than one of our babies.
“Quality Is A Choice…Our Commitment to Excellence”

Welcome to Davisdane Great Danes, located in Hanover, Massachusetts. My name is Susan Davis Shaw and I have been owning, training and exhibiting harlequins and mantles for over thirty years in breed and obedience. I conduct appropriate health testing before breeding and only breed quality representatives of the breed, sound in body and mind. My goal is to improve my dogs with each generation. I only breed occasionally and those wishing a Davisdane pup may have to be patient until a puppy is available. My pets always go home on spay and neuter agreements and I rarely ship a puppy.
We have been breeders and exhibitors of Great Danes since 1977, specializing in fawns and brindles. We have been members for many years of the Great Dane Club of America, the Great Dane Club of Metropolitan Washington, the Virginia Kennel Club, and the Virginia Federation of Kennel Clubs and Dog Breeders. When we breed a litter, it is to add a new family member to our family and possibly yours. We breed for health, temperament and beauty. We require that every puppy that is born in our house have the opportunity to spend their entire lives as an important family member, be it in our family or yours.
Southern Belle Danes is a small breeder. We raise our pups with love and our adults are our housepets. We have show dogs and pets. We breed for temperament, size and color. My name is Lori. My parents and I raise only a few litters per year with Love. Every pup is handled multiple times per day to help socialize them. This also allows us to check them many times per day. My first Dane was a rescue. I was associated with Dane rescue for many years. I love the breed and truly believe they are gentle giants who only want to Love their “people” and to spend time with them.
We are dedicated to raising loving healthy and happy Great Danes. We have a deep love for this special breed, and strive with each litter to improve upon our line. Temperament and health are always our primary concerns, followed closely by longevity and adherence to the breed standard. We make every effort to give our puppies the best start possible, in an attempt to breed a healthy, well-socialized addition to your family.
