In the beginning...
My whole life I have admired the regal Danes, there size coupled
with there temperament made a lasting impression on me. I had always hoped to own one, but I was young and my family
all ready had eight other dogs. I longed for a new puppy, as my long time companion, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier,
was 13 and starting to have problems. I wanted a Great Dane, but it was not to be, as we simply did not have the
room, and we had just adopted another puppy for my brother. So I bought my first puppy, a beautiful cream Pomeranian,
I named Fizzy.
The start of a dream...
Still, I secretly yearned for a Great Dane. In the spring of 2004 I met a man who shared my passion for Danes, and supported my dreams of becoming a great Dane breeder, which allowed me to fully immerse myself in finding my first 3 perfect Great Danes. After much research and time had passed, we picked up our first Great Dane from the airport and Jake was the perfect puppy, he learned quick, and he tried so hard to never do anything wrong that he made it easy to want another puppy. So a few months later we began looking for our first female. Jayda Rain, came to us out of luck. She had already had a deposit put down on her, and was going to a show home in Texas, but as luck would have it, the lady backed out, and I brought Jayda home from the airport the next morning. The kids had my complete attention as I stayed at home during the day, and I wanted nothing more than to have a house hold full of romping Danes. Thus, Gypsy joined our family six months later. She is my pride and joy, all the way from Medium Danes in Poland, with all championship lines, she is the foundation of my vision.
A new beginning... May 2008:
In the Winter of 2007 I split with my, now, ex-fiance and while that relationship was riddled with heart ache and ended with heart ache, my dogs and I only grew stronger together. We all moved to the country on a 50 Acre farm, with horses, cats, ferrets, fish, and we are hoping to add chickens and cows soon. The dogs loved it and now we all could stretch our legs a Little. Their new favorite farm activity is to run along side the 4-wheeler and go swimming in the pond! In the spring of 2008 my newest little girl Night Magic's Music of the Nile (Niah) joined my family, it was love at first sight. My first little girl that was from my very own breeding's, I was needless to say a very proud mother indeed.
An expanding family... July 2009:
As Niah grew she far exceeded all of my expectations, reaching 36" by one year and 150lb. She was tall, and regal, with a chiseled wide head and perfect lines, and she was super affectionate and looked like the most beautiful female Dane I had ever seen...so now I had to find a male to match, a tall order considering she was just about as perfect as they came. My hunt for my next male had been ongoing for the past 3 years, and took into consideration the lines I already had and what I wanted to accomplish in the future through my breeding program and finally I found Hamms Danes out of Canada. I imported Xander who with Niah will have a distant line breeding through High Resolution, the highest pointed Dane in Europe, which I needed because Niah is an out-cross of American and European lines so to keep the type of my pups I needed a strong influence through my next male. Xander is outstanding and worth every penny paid if not more! His temperament is by far the mellowest I have ever encountered he is sure of himself but not dominate. He is low-key but playful and like the rest he is very loyal and is always by my side. Together I can only imagine what outstanding pups they will produce. Along with my newest 4 legged addition in the spring of 09, I also married the man of my dreams, he is supportive, loving, attentive, strong and of course very handsome! Shortly after I found out that we would be welcoming our first 2 legged baby into our family, we were ecstatic, and as I grew bigger I came to respect my girls sooo much more. Although they did already receive daily massages and plenty of x-tra kisses and snuggles during their pregnancy time to help their added emotional and physical state. I quickly found out that I needed all this as well! And my happiness for my growing family could not have been any greater.

He will be yours, faithful and true to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."
