Bloodline
Every puppy we place carries the character and health of two carefully selected parents. These are the dogs behind the bloodline.
Sire
Dynasty Danes King Kruger of Diamond Danes
One of the most imposing Great Danes in our program at 38.5" and 195 lbs. Kruger carries exceptional bone structure and a steady, confident temperament that transfers reliably to his offspring.
Dam
Dynasty Danes Raven Royale
Raven is the heart of our current program. At 33.5" and 136 lbs she is a beautifully proportioned dam with a nurturing, even temperament and the rare genetics behind our Lilac and Harlequin lines.
Standards
Every decision we make before a litter is born reflects a standard we've held for over twenty-five years. These are not policies — they're the way we work.
Every parent in our program is assessed by our veterinarian before any breeding takes place. Testing is pursued when clinically warranted — we don't subject our dogs to procedures they don't need. We do not breed dogs with known heritable conditions, and health records are available to every approved applicant.
Structure matters — but disposition determines placement. Every puppy is individually assessed for confidence, sensitivity, and social drive before we match them to a family. A beautiful dog with the wrong temperament is a dog we will not place.
Our puppies are born into a home, not a kennel. From their first days, they are handled daily, introduced to household sounds and activity, and socialized with children and other animals. Early neurological stimulation is part of every litter protocol — not optional.
We evaluate every pairing for genetic complement — structure to structure, temperament to temperament. We do not chase trendy coat combinations at the expense of health. Known carriers for serious conditions are not bred without full transparency to the families involved.
Our responsibility to a puppy does not end at go-home. Every family we place with receives direct access to us for the life of their dog — for training questions, health guidance, or if life circumstances ever require rehoming. We remain part of every dog's story.
Testimonials
Every placement starts with a conversation. These are a few of the families we've had the privilege of matching.
I just wanted you to know that I love the fawn male that I bought from you last year. I named him Duke of Earl. He is big, beautiful and so smart. He has the greatest disposition – so loving and sweet – yet he is also very protective. Last week someone tried to break into my house. Duke greeted them at the back door and they took off. He may just have saved my life. I am installing a security system this week. I feel very secure with him here but I think a security system will protect us both. Duke takes up a lot of room on the couch and I had to get him his own bed because he steals all the covers. Duke is also the hit of the neighborhood. All the kids love him and he is so gentle with them. He loves playing soccer with them. He hits the ball with his nose and the kids chase it and they throw it back to him and he either hits it again with his nose or kicks it with his paw. I feel so guilty when I tell him play time is over and he has to come in the house. Anne, I am so grateful that you allowed me to have this wonderful dog. He has brought so much joy into my life. Thank you again for the GREAT Great Dane that I love and cherish.
I want to add my heartfelt thanks to Anne and her family for my Great Dane Duke. He is the best Dane! Excellent temperament, intelligent, handsome, playful — guess you can tell he is the best dog. In all seriousness Duke is my 8th Dane and I love them all but Duke is special. Anne was so kind in her understanding of my loss of my previous Dane Bullet and Duke has made my everyday. My football players love him, the kids in the neighborhood are convinced he is "Scooby" and lives here when he is not making movies — the moms started the rumor and asked that I please continue it. I thank you again Anne and hope your family has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I highly recommend Dynasty Danes if you are looking for dogs that are bred with the utmost love and care. Anne truly loves her Danes and breeds for physical quality as well as a wonderful disposition. Our Bodie is a delight – such a loving, affectionate, happy, and healthy puppy. Everyone stops us to compliment us on his beautiful coat. This was our first experience with a Dane and a breeder, and Anne truly made it a memorable experience. Every step of the way and through countless questions, she was knowledgeable and just wonderful to deal with.
How It Works
Every placement follows the same path. Here's what to expect from first contact to going home.
There's no form to complete and nothing to prepare. Reach out by phone or through our contact page, and we'll have a direct conversation about what you're looking for in a dog. This step costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
If the first conversation feels right on both sides, we go deeper. We'll ask about your home, your life, and your experience with large breeds. Ask us everything — our dogs' health results, their temperaments, what to expect. We're not evaluating you; we're finding the right match together.
When we agree on a pairing, a deposit holds your placement. We'll confirm your go-home timeline, send updates as the litter develops, and stay reachable throughout. There are no surprises in our process — if anything changes, you hear from us first.
At eight weeks, your puppy is ready to transition. They leave with full documentation — health records, registration paperwork, and a written care guide for their specific temperament and lineage. Our support doesn't end at the door. Most of our families stay in touch for the life of their dog.
Next Steps
No paperwork, no pressure. Reach out and we'll talk through what you're looking for — and whether we're the right fit.
