Angel’s experience

  • About Angel

    I was raised on a farm and have always been around animals, I'm an animal lover in general for any animal! I always wanted a Great Dane but was the sad kid who could never get one. However, when I turned 18 that all changed and I fell in love with the Great Dane! My research began with health issues finding a reputable breeder etc, I made my first purchase and was sold to the breed!

  • What makes Angel’s program special

    First off, I look at the health of my dogs and then the healthy outcome of my puppies to be. But right after health I only want to breed dogs that meet all AKC standards and health plus temperament! I don't want to breed dogs that don't pass the temperament test! I take pride in my babies and I make sure that I'm with mom every step of the way with delivery and constant monitoring for the first week❤.

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

My puppies are raised in my home. We are constantly coming into contact with the puppies and I also have 4 children so they are always being handled and hearing noises. Puppies do not socialize publicly until after 15 weeks of age when all vaccines have been given. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with Children and Sound Stimulation.

Puppy health practices

Puppies are examined by my vet at 2 weeks of age then wormed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. They receive their parvo vaccines and wellness exams directly from my vet at 6, 9, 12, 15 weeks and receive their rabies vaccine at 16 weeks if they are still with me.

Extras

Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Southern KY Danes hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.

More about Angel

  • Why Angel started breeding

    I had researched so much on the Great Dane that when I finally got my very own, I fell so in love with her. She was everything I wanted in a dog and my best friend. That being said, I couldn't have just one and purchased another. I thought of all the family's who were missing out on the breed (not common in my area at all) so I jumped on board to health test and breed. The rest is history and I love it!
