Thank you for
taking the time to view our ad! From viewing our pictures, it's
easy to see how we came up with our name, A Splash Of Color
Danes. We use to raise Pomeranians and Boxers but fell so head
over heals for the Danes that we decided to make this breed our
single canine devotion! My husband and I live on a small ranch
in Texas and raise Texas Longhorns and Great Danes.
I understand the fear of purchasing a puppy over the
internet, however, if you visit our web site I'm sure your mind
will be put at ease about adopting a Dane from us. I've been
breeding dogs off and on since 1978 and we DO have plenty of
references!
True, some of our pups may cost more than others you'll find
in the newspaper, being sold on the side of the road, in a mall
parking lot or on the web, however, you can rest assured ours
are of high quality, taken care of properly, will be great life
long companions, and should there be a problem with a puppy we
have up for adoption we will disclose it in our advertisement
for it. A cheap puppy will usually end up costing you more in
the long run with vet bills!
All of our Danes have calm dispositions, gorgeous heads,
strong bodies and bones, correct bite and teeth inclusion, are
very intelligent and obedient, have clean color (especially the
white background---prefer no merling), they are correct and
tall, have good top lines, have sweet temperaments and good
length of leg and tail set as well as good length to their
tails. Too many Danes out there have thin, short tails! We want
our 4-legged "kids" to be physically sound and attractive to the
eye so they can give us fantastic "grandchildren" that everyone
will want!
We also strive to produce healthy, well socialized puppies
that represent the breed correctly but with DESIRED DESIGNER
coloring! Our favorites are the Fawnequins and Brindlequins.
Over the years we have seen an increase in the desire for
"DESIGNER" Danes vs. the qualifying show colors so we are very
pleased to be breeding specifically for the colors we happen to
love best! Show people have a problem with our breeding program
but I feel the colors we are breeding for will eventually be
accepted in the show ring, and if not, that's OK too because
there are plenty of people out there wanting Designer Danes....
and if they are not interested in showing and just want a pet
then I see no problem in what we're doing; as long as we are
breeding QUALITY puppies!
