About Emma
I have always had dogs and had started my training journey with my family’s dogs. By day I work from home as an engineer, but by evening and weekends I am always training my dogs! You can often find my husband and me walking our dogs to get out of the house and going on adventures!
What makes Emma’s program special
Great Danes were originally a hunting breed. While my dogs don’t hunt, they are bred to be fit and to the breed standard. These dogs are capable of going on long adventures, sport events, or even just lounging around comfortably. I love what I can offer puppy buyers with health tested parents and titles to prove temperaments and ability. All pups will be raised with Puppy Culture.

I utilize the following enrichment methods: Texture stimulation, Outdoors, e.g. rain, Fireworks , Noises , Strangers, Chew, e.g. Bone, Toys, e.g. Ball, Touch Desensitization, Early Neurological Stimulation, Scents, Grooming Desensitization, Sound Stimulation, Household Desensitization, Socialized with Elderly, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Behavioral shaping , Puppy Culture , Clicker Training, "No" Biting or Chewing, Leash Walking, and Potty Training.
All puppies will be vet checked before leaving. We follow Dr. Jean Dobbs vaccination protocol, but can accommodate other wishes. Puppies are raised on a raw, balanced diet and then we add Farmina puppy food to get them used to kibble.
We send our puppies home with Beginning Potty Training, Volhard Personality Test, Puppy culture, Early Neurological Stimulation, Puppy Starter Kit, Microchip, Food Starter Bag, Certificate of Health, Blanket with Littermates Scent, and AKC Registration.
Emma offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.

Work with a trusted transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at a meeting point close to home.
Why Emma started breeding
I got into ethical dog breeding when I realized the first puppy I purchased was not from a good breeder and now has health issues. My next purchase, my Dane Kailua, was from a quality breeder who has taught me so much. She has become my mentor in the breeding process. I got into dog sports when I first started training Lu in group classes and fell in love. I will always have a sport dog!

Good health testing
Hip Dysplasia Finals (OFA, PennHIP, BVA, SV, FCI)
Great Dane
Excellent level
Cowtown Danes 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.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
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.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
