GREAT DANE - "The Apollo of dogs"

Puppies

We currently do not have any puppies, or any planned breedings. If you are looking for a Great Dane puppy, click here to go to some links that will help you research the breed and give you some information and questions to ask a breeder.

Following are some pictures and information from our most recent litter.

April 7 - Puppies start arriving!
Today was only day 59 of the pregnancy, but puppies began arriving Wednesday afternoon, April 7, and continued arriving until 10 a.m. Thursday, April 8. We have six fawn puppies - two boys and four girls. Beemer is a great mom!

March 6 - the ultrasound
The ultrasound was done on March 6 by Dr. Holcomb. This was the 28th day following breeding. We were able to capture images of three puppies on one screen, indicating there are at least three puppies in the litter. We also captured some single images. These could have been of different puppies, or the same puppy from a different angle. Our best guess at this point is that there may be several puppies.

Beemer getting her ultrasound

 

Beemer stands patiently while Dr. Holcomb performs the ultrasound. Her weight at the time of the ultrasound was 141 lbs. We will be monitoring her weight gain weekly as the pregnancy progresses.

We will also be monitoring her food intake closely. Dr. Holcomb says bitches usually gain around 25% of their weight. For Beemer, this would be 30 - 35 lbs.
