Litter update on 25 Feb. •
These babies are so incredibly special. Being bottle fed due to their mother’s sudden passing of bloat after being spayed at just 1 day old. Kelce was my heart. She lives on in these babies.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Beachside Kennels reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Great Danes.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

As someone who’s never gotten a dog from a breeder before I have to say Clairessa made it a top 10 experience! From any concerns or questions I had she always took her time to explain to me and help me understand! I had my puppy flown to me and I’m so thankful for Clairessa doing everything in her power to get my puppy to me before a big storm she went above and beyond! Spoon arrived healthy with vet records and was a chunky little boy. Im forever thankful to her for bringing such a blessing into my life.

My experience with Clairessa from Beach side kennels was seamless from start to finish. I inquired about one of her puppies a day before, and picked him a day later. She is very proactive, and communication with her is so easy. She’s on top of it. Once meeting, My puppy was perfect! He was very well maintained, came with his current records: shots, and all. I’m very pleased with my experience. Once I’m ready, I would definitely get another Chinese sharpei puppy from beachside kennels, or Florida wrinkles.

As a family that’s always adopted rescue dogs, buying a puppy online and working with a breeder was a completely new experience for us—and we had a lot of questions. From the very beginning, this breeder was incredibly patient, transparent, and generous with her time. She walked us through every step, explained the paperwork, and helped us understand what to expect—not just before pickup, but even after we brought our puppy home.
She went above and beyond, offering a veteran discount after the fact and making pickup easy by meeting us halfway. Our Great Dane puppy is absolutely gorgeous, healthy, and full of love. She’s already the perfect addition to our family, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care and dedication that went into raising her.
Thank you for making this experience smooth, supportive, and truly special.

A couple years ago I decided I wanted a Great Dane, my first one. After too much research I found Claire and Henry on Good Dog. She was so responsive and easy to talk to. I had a few apprehensions and everything I brought to her attention she addressed immediately. I was scared about transport because we are halfway across the country from her and she organized the whole thing and it was completely painless. Henry has immediately become my new best friend and I am so glad I got him. I cannot recommend Claire enough.

Clairessa is one of the most kind and knowledgeable people that we have had the pleasure to work with! She patiently answered all my questions and concerns about payments online, as this is our first time going through a breeder who is states away. She sent weekly photos and updates, sometimes more! I will always recommend her to anyone looking to add a puppy to their family!
