I am looking for qualified home for co-ownership with 3 of my wonderful breeding adults: Niah, Sterilng,and Prada :)

Niah is 3 1/2 years old, very attentive and loyal, she is always up for a walk or run but will also sit back and relax, she is 36" and 160lb and full of kisses...She does have an alpha personality but mainly with dogs, so she will get along with all dogs but other female alpha dogs, she loves boys and docile girls, she is great with kids of all ages and loves people...not so fond of cats...I will breed her one more time in sept-oct 2012 and then fix and retire her...If you live with in 50 miles you can adopt her early and then she would come back to me for 2 weeks for breeding in sept-oct and then for 5-6 weeks for puppies, and then she would be fixed and adopted for free into her foster home :) Only to an inside home and at least one stay at home parent, a fenced in yard, and a love for the breed to qualify...

Sterling is a 4 year old girl, who is both very laid back and very alert, she is protective of her owners, but also loves anybody her parents love, she is very mild mannered, but she does like to chase horses :) She is of a alpha personality with other dogs but is more of a 2nd in command for people...she is perfectly happy to stay inside with her people, and gets along well with boy dogs and submissive female dogs, cats, children and all people. She is 33" and 130lb: I will breed her one more time in January 2012 and then fix and retire her...If you live with in 50 miles you can adopt her early and then she would come back to me for 2 weeks for breeding in January and then for 5-6 weeks in March for puppies, and then she would be fixed and adopted for free into her foster home :) Only to an inside home and with at least one stay at home parent, a fenced in yard, and a love for the breed to qualify...

Prada is Sterling and Xanders baby and is a very good girl more of a #2 type 2nd in command girl and she gets along well with all dogs, and kids! She is a good guard dog but is not excessive, she has low to moderate energy but still has some puppy spurts every now and again ha-ha as she is only 18 months old! She is very loyal and attentive, with beautiful open eyes and a great boxy head! But as she is only 18 months old and we have a doggy door, so she may need to do some mild re-training, if you do not have a doggy door, maybe crate her at night and when you are gone at first...if you do have a doggy door, great she is 100% house trained, and she is very clean and does not like messes, she will make a great mom :) I will breed her for the first time in Feb-March for puppies leaving June/July 2012 ...If you live within 50 miles you can adopt her early (after this litter has left) and then she would come back to me for two litters for 2 weeks for breeding and then for 5-6 weeks for puppies, and then she would be fixed and adopted for free into her foster home, and you would also have the option to pick a puppy for your self from the 2nd breeding for free :) Only to an inside home and at least one stay at home parent, a fenced in yard, and a love for the breed to qualify...

Also ask about my co-own puppy contracts, where you would adopt a puppy at 8-12 weeks old for free, it would be my pick girl or boy from the litter and if a girl she would come back to me on her 2nd heat to be bred and then for 5-7 weeks for puppies. She would be bred 3 times and then I would have her fixed and she would retire permanently into your home...You would also have the option to keep a puppy from either the 2nd or 3rd litter :) You MUST live within 50 miles to be able to adopt a puppy like this and I must be able to regularly visit him/her and have her visit me, so she will not be so stressed coming here to have puppies and if you ever leave for a vacation she could come and stay here :) Only to an inside home and at least one stay at home parent, a fenced in yard, and a love for the breed to qualify...

Adult Dog Screening Form

Adult Placement Program

I will advertise rescue Danes on this page and if you are in need of help finding a home for your Dane or you know of one in need PLEASE contact me and I will do all I can to help out....I do also occasionaly have adults living with me that will be available to qualified homes, whether it is an abandoned Dane found at the shelter, or one that has come to me from a home who could no longer keep it, or one of my very own beloved retired adults, they will all be treated the same. They will be well behaved, mannered, and loving when they leave my home. I will not place an unbalanced Dane in any home and will rehabilitate it myself if it needs it before leaving me.

All adults will have their own unique personality, and I will only place my adults in a 'matched' home...A home that is matched to the unique personality, and any quirks that they may have...a high energy adult will need someone that is equally active, while a low energy dog will need a lower energy home...some dogs raised with cats will love them...while others, not so much... Some Danes LOVE small dogs while others may play to rough and so on....Each home will be hand picked for the best match possible.

*All adults Danes will be adopted for free, unless specified

*Any adopted adult Dane will be fixed before leaving my home.

Any family who would like to be considered for the adoption of a retired Adult family member must fit all the below listed requirements. No exceptions! All of my adults have a permanent home with me and I will only place them where I think that they will get more attention and love that I am capable of giving.

If you have an adult in need of a new home or know of one that needs a new home please contact me directly. 229-224-2591

*You must own your own home and may not be renting...again I want a stable family to have one of my adults, as that is what they deserve.

*You may not have more than 2 other dogs...I want them to have all the attention from their new family and not to have to vie for attention.

*You may never sell or find a new home for the adult...if the placement does not work for any reason he/she will come back to me. (This goes double for my retired adults!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How It Will Work

1st...fill out my Adult Dog Screening Form, found above... If I do not have a current adult dog, then you can be put on a waiting list for the next adult that I may have available.

2nd...We will plan a first meet up in town, where I will bring my adult and we will see if you have a natural compatibility with him/her. You will be able to walk him/her and I will observe how you handle the dog and if I think you have the right energy for him/her.

3rd...we will plan a trip to your house, where I will bring him/her to you and help in introducing him/her to any family pets that you already have.

4th...He/She will stay the weekend with you on a trial basis before anything is permanently decided.

5th...We will meet up again within the week to see how he/she is doing and if all is well they you will have a new family member.

***Each dog is different and will need different things from it's family, so if you are not approved, please do not be up-set, it does not mean that you are a bad dog owner just that you are not 100% fitted with the adult in question.***

Why I Have an Adult Placement Program for my Retired Breeding Dogs

Let me start off by saying that this was a very difficult decision to make, and I spent many sleepless nights trying to decide what was BEST for my dogs, and not just what I wanted (which is to keep every pup, stray, and especially my adults!) I love my adults like family members, but I also have to run a business, and that requires me to continually keep puppies. This causes the number of dogs that I have to continually increase...not to bad... But as my females can only breed 3-4 times, to ensure good health and a long life, and then they need to be fixed and replaced by an up-coming breeding female...and as I do not breed till at least 2 years of age also for the health of my dogs, I have found that I will have 2 up and coming girls, 2 breeding girls and as the years go by many, many retired dogs with at least one standing stud and sometimes two...and I have found that once you get past 5 or 6 Danes the amount of individual time spent with each one is severely diminished, which I think is truly despicable! Not to mention, as all of my dogs are inside family pets, the amount of 150lb-200lb dogs fill up a house quite quickly and eat quite a bit of food, not to mention shots, flea care and heart worm among the many other expenses, and then there is individual dog time, and while I do stay at home all of the time, there are only so many hours in the day, and I have come to the point where I feel that not only will my adults get better care from a solo dog home but my remaining dogs will also get better care as there will be more of me to go around and I will be able to breed my females and males fewer times before having them fixed, (which is always best) as I will not be worried about keeping my 7th, 8th,...12th Dane, and all of the extra expensive that go along with it, not to mention the time and effort it takes to raise a puppy while you still have the obligations of the rest of your very large and growing pack to deal with.

So after much debate and a good cry or two, I have decided that what is best for my dogs, while it may be hard and painful for me, is still best for my dogs, and that is for them to live a long and healthy life as the center of someone¡¦s world rather than just a part of it...there is only so much room beside my bed at night and every night as they all pile into the bedroom, everyone vying for the position right beside me or my husband...and there is just not that much room!...and that breaks my heart...even though they all have all of the couches, a Dane always wants to be right at your side as you are the center of his/her world. And as much as I love them and they love me I know that they will also love a owner who can give them all of their time...which is what they deserve, and what is best for them.
