Hi, I am Gale Renz, owner of Dynamite Danes and I am glad to welcome you to our website. My husband (John) and I have been dedicated Great Dane breeders for over twenty-six years. We started our quest to breed sound, healthy, long-lived AKC Great Danes in September of 1987 with our first Meistersinger harlequin girl, Molly. We had a couple of exceptional rescue Danes as pets before that and became true Great Dane lovers through our experiences with our rescue girls. Neither of them lived long enough, a beloved family member never does. So after doing some research, we became very interested in breeding a line of companions that would be all that a Dane could be. Our Great Dane Puppies are the best around and we stand behind them with full confidence. We focus our program on breeding Puppies that live a long and prosperous life, similar to the Danes from good European foundation stock, which can live from twelve to fourteen years. Due to our successful efforts, our dogs are averaging a lifespan of ten to twelve years at this time. Our holistic breeding program now predictably produces beautiful, healthy, loving and laidback AKC Great Danes for adoption.
