I have some puppies available from one of my puppies. Ashley-Victoria Copeland Had a litter of 14 puppies from Pepper. She is still trying to find homes for them. If anyone is looking for a great Dane puppy these are a bunch of wonderful pups. I have went and visit them they all have good temperaments. Mom is a black with white Dane. Dad is a fawn.

Ok. This is truly hard and with a heavy heart but we will no longer be breeding. It’s not that I don’t enjoy and love it because if it was that I would have puppies all the time! I have cried more tonight and over my pups this year than I have since I started breeding. It’s not the pups fault!! I have had 8 puppies of mine looking for new home, 4 have crossed the rainbow bridge, then I can’t get a hold for 6 family to check on my puppies. Some of y’all have gave my puppies amazing home and I appreciate that. But I just fill there’s more puppies out there that don’t have that. Im going to start working with a rescue.

I’m writing this post because for the lost of the beloved Rocky (Luke) Born November 29, 2015. He passed away unexpectedly due to bloating on Saturday. He was only 3 1/2. He was From Miss Blue and Mr. Maverick.

Bloat is one of the leading causes of death in Great Dane’s.

Symptoms of Bloat

• Distended (bloated) stomach.
• Pacing .
• Unsuccessful vomiting, or the dog can only bring up foamy saliva. If you see this, IMMEDIATELY bring them to the vet!
• Restlessness, inability to lie down, panicked or distressed, pawing at or looking at their belly, rapid shallow breathing, and pale mucus membranes.

What to Do If Your Dog Is Bloated

Bring in your dog for immediate veterinary attention. If your regular vet isn't open, please seek immediate attention at another vet or find a local Animal ER.

Do not attempt to give your dog any over-the-counter medications or “folk remedies.” This could make matters worse and delay critical treatment.
If possible, call to inform the vet that you are on the way. This will give them time to prepare for your dog’s arrival.

Ways to prevent bloat

• Make sure your dog rests after a full meal; no strenuous exercise on a full stomach
• Feeding your dog more than one meal a day
• Using elevated food/water bowls.
• Slow down your dog’s eating. There are special bowls you can buy or simply add a large clean rock to the bowl so your dog has to slowly serve himself rather than gulp down big portions
• Don’t let them gulp water
• Know family history of bloat/GDV
• Being older; dogs between 7-12 years old are at highest risk.

Came in here to make a phone call. And this is what happens within five minutes. I have some very spoiled rotten Danes. Every one of them is touching some part of me.

I’m heartbroken at the fact I even have to post this. With Megan Bell Hensley’s permission...

I am needing to sell/rehome our Great Dane, Zeus as we are in the process of buying a new home and need to come up with the extra money for closing costs. He is AKC registered as “ Zeus’ Knight in Shining Armor” . He does come with his papers and also pedigree, kennel, 2 collars, and his newly custom made elevated food & water bowl set with storage underneath. He is still a whole male, but we never bred him. We will get him neutered at the new owners expense and can keep him until he is completely healed.

He was in the litter born on 2/4/17.

Zeus loves to play fetch with tennis balls and he truly thinks he is a lap dog. I may be a little biased, but he seems to be a mommas boy. He loves our girls. Our oldest daughter is completely non-verbal with Autism and they absolutely adore each other. We will require a contract between myself and the possible new owner to ensure he goes to a great home. If you have any more questions, please feel free to send a personal message on Facebook.

We have had 2 previous puppies returned to us. We would like them to stay to gather if possible but I know two intact males can be hard to place together. But Duke has always been with beast. I have had them heartworm tested and both were negative. They are on heartworm medicine and flea medicine.

Beast is a 130lb Merle 2 year old. He was born February 4. He loves kids. He is a little on the hyper side until it’s nap time. He doesn’t walk on a leash. He wants to pull you. He doesn’t like other males other than Duke.

Duke is a 135lb Mis-Marked Mantle. Who will turn 1 on March 9th. He is on a calmer side. He doesn’t jump on you. He is just a laidback boy. He has never been trained to walk on a leash. He likes kids to but doesn’t like them on him. If it ever stops raining I will try to get some more pictures of Duke.
