About Us

We moved to Texas from California 1991. At that time I had a love for animals that had been fostered by my parents and has continued as my life work. I started out working in pet stores at 15 years of age and graduated naturally in to the veterinary field. I have been working as a Veterinary Technician since 1989.

We do not breed for a living. We own a successful welding business and are in the works of starting up a 2nd venture. Since I have been blessed with such a loving and understanding husband I am able to now stay home with my children and play with my dogs all day long.

My first puppy was a pet store bought Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Chelsea. In 1989 I paid $50 for her, she was spayed by 9 months of age. She is still my first love and fit well in my early years of apartment life. She passed over the bridge March of 2004.

As our family life progressed, I wanted a larger dog, but could not have one until I had a yard and a house (boy has this opinion changed since then!)

I kept thinking of all the breeds you could possibly get. I had been raised with Golden Retrievers and Miniature Schnauzers, but didn't want all that hair and skin/hip problems that came with the ones I had as a child.

Almost 13 years ago I met a black great dane and fell head over heals for his personality. After getting to know him and reading up on the breed, I started to look for a dane of my own. My husband and I started out with an interest in a breed that has grown into a love for all Great Dane's.

After bringing our first dane home in 1996, it became VERY apparent she had not been raised in doors and had not been properly socialized. After months of hard work and many behavior books later, I was able to determine that she just needs a while to adjust to situations. She turned out to be the best dog I have ever had. We have been through obedience class's, handling class's and turned into a very socialized girl!

When I started working at Brittmoore ANimal Hospital, the thought of showing started to enter my mind. I went to a few dog shows and was bit by the bug. I tried to show Daisy, thinking "this is the most beautiful girl in the word, she has to win". . . . .boy was I in for a ride.

THEN I really started the research!!!! Body type, head type, movement, color, personality. She had many of these qualities, but not all of them. After Careful consideration I decided to start with her health checks, and then look for a dog to breed with. The hope was to fix some of her flaws in the next generation. BOY what a surprise that was, I had 11 pups and all of them looked the same! I couldn't tell anything at first, but slowly you could see the future emerge...
