Oby is from excellent champion lines in Europe. See them on the"Imported Dane" Page of our website. Links available from our site to the Italian and Russian Websites as well.

 The European males bred to our American girls are producing size and bone structures beyond our expectation! 

 VERY IMPORTANT FEEDING AND SUPPLEMENT INFORMATION BELOW:

1. NEVER GIVE YOUR DANE CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS WHEN HE OR SHE IS GROWING.  THIS IS VERY RARELY NECESSARY AND CAN CAUSE SOME VERY BAD GROWTH PROBLEMS WITH THEIR JOINTS.

2. ALWAYS FEED YOUR GROWING DANE A RECOMMENDED FEED FROM THE BREEDER OR EXPERIENCED VET OF GIANT BREEDS.  TOO MUCH PROTEIN WHILE AT A YOUNG AGE CAN CAUSE YOUR DANE PUPPY TO HAVE SEVERE GROWTH ISSUES.  WE RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING PUPPY FOOD IN REGULAR OR HOLISTIC: EAGLE PACK .  IF YOU CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW, YOU CAN FIND A DEALER NEAR YOU.

3. THE FOLLOWING LINK RIGHT BELOW THE EAGLE PACK LINK IS FOR A SUPPLEMENT CALLED ARTHOGEN WHICH HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL FOR GROWING PUPPIES AND OLDER DOGS.  CLICK ON THAT LINK TO FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION AND WHERE TO PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT. 

http://www.eaglepack.com/index.html We use Eagle Pack in the purple bag for large and giant breed puppies.

 We used to raise bullmastiffs as well as great danes and have since sold our bullies to show homes.  Here is the latest news on our wonderful boy Rowdy (whom many of you may be wondering about ) and sweet Riley who are living in Florida.  Here is a link to see Great View's Rowdy of Rhionne and Riley in the show ring:  http://www.galaxybulls.com/

Below is a link to " The Dane Lady's"  website with lots of information about danes:

http://www.greatdanelady.com/index.html  Just a quick link to the best great dane information you can find!  Please visit this website to learn about danes and their special needs.  We are very big fans of the Dane Lady and you will be impressed with her vast knowledge that she so graciously shares on her website.  From nutrition, to growth issues and even ear care, you will gain a lot by reading her site.   

Joan, Nathan, Onika and Caleb hope you enjoy the pictures and, while at our site, get a feel for the wonderful atmosphere around here. We are located in the beautiful Missouri Ozarks, where we pride ourselves in having small town values and old fashioned hospitality!

We began raising AKC registered Great Danes out of a deep admiration and love of this noble breed. We know you will be impressed by their extreme loyalty and devotion to their families. They will hardly leave your side while out walking with you, when they could be running off on their own adventures. They prefer to stay at their master's side, content to walk at your pace. We found the saying "once you own a Dane, you'll always own a Dane" to be a very accurate description of the impression they leave on their owners.

We raise a few litters of pet and show quality, very well socialized Dane puppies each year. We have Blues, Blacks, Harlequins, Mantles, Fawns, and Brindles. All of our puppies are guaranteed against congenital defects for 2 years. We believe in taking optimum care of our animals and keep them on a regular worming and vaccination schedule. Our puppies are wormed for intestinal parasites at 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8 weeks of age, plus we use heartworm, giardia and coccidia prevention. Dew claws are removed when the puppies are 2 days old.

Great View Danes only breeds according to the Great Dane Club of America's color code of ethics to produce dogs of color pure bloodlines. To view the color code of ethics, click on the Great Dane Club of America link on the left and then go to the Breeding link.

We are also involved in Great Dane rescue and have helped several older dogs find great, loving homes. Sometimes people have to relocate or circumstances in their lives change and they are forced to give up their beloved companion. We provide foster care until a suitable home can be found for their Dane.

The most rewarding part of raising Great Danes is to see the happiness each puppy brings to its new family. Having these families keep in touch over the years, and being able to follow the lives of these little puppies that we helped bring into the world, is what makes it all worthwhile. Many of our best friends started out as customers looking for that perfect family dog! We are very lucky to be able to experience the joy this brings!
