Big paws, big love!

This year’s auction will feature a Great Dane puppy, ready to share some big love with your entire family. Born October 24 in a litter of six, Danny Boy is a full European Great Dane, and boasts U.S., European and World Champions in his bloodline. But don’t let his royal heritage fool you, he is a family dog, through and through. Danny’s litter was raised by a local breeder in their family home, socialized with family members of all ages, and socialized with other dogs.

Great Danes love love, and they really love their people. The perfect family will be ready for Danny Boy to snuggle with them at home, and go out and meet new friends. Everyone is going to want to know Danny! Surprisingly, Danny Boy will not require a large yard or extensive walking. He’s going to be more interested in being with you than hanging out in the yard. Great Danes make great apartment dogs, and are amazing with kids. In fact, Great Danes are often sought out as service dogs for those with anxiety, mobility issues, or other special needs.

As he’s waiting to meet you, Danny Boy is still living with the breeder’s family and is beginning crate training and potty training. He’ll already be off to a great start when you welcome him home. Additional training, as with all dogs, will help Danny become the best boy, and help you and your family become the best at giving him good direction. We can recommend a trainer with great experience working with Great Danes.
