My interest in Great Danes started when I was a child and I bought my first one 43 years ago, a harlequin. I took her around the shows and was hooked. I eventually had a litter from her then successfully campaigned and bred harlequins, about 5 years later introducing fawns then brindles.Since then I have campaigned 11 Danes to their title. I have been awarded 58 CC's and numerous RCC's with homebred Danes to date. Two of the most well known dogs being Champion. Arondyke Arnold the Bouncer, top brindle for 3 years and Champion. Arondyke Against All Odds (fawn) who have both left their mark and can be found behind many of the most successful winners, with Champion. Arondyke Against All Odds winning top stud dog all breeds 3 years running. with numerous CC’s and RCC’s not to mention his many other awards.
