Established in 1997, the goal of Saxony is to improve, not merely increase
the number of Great Danes. We strive to produce healthy, happy Great
Danes that adhere to the breed standard and that are well suited to life as
either a companion, working dog or show dog.
All breeding stock is hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia screened, heart
screened and temperament tested. All puppies are vet-checked, vaccinated,
dewormed, microchipped and placed on contract to approved homes. We
maintain regular contact with our puppy owners and often developed great
friendships down the line.
As ethical breeders our commitment to our puppies does not end when the
puppy leaves us. Any Saxony dog (of any age) that can not be kept by the
owner for whatever reason comes back to us - we take full responsibility for
every single dog we breed and do not palm problems off onto already
overburdened welfare societies.
Saxony Great Danes is registered
with the Kennel Union of South
Africa (KUSA) and is a member of
the South African Great Dane
Association (SAGDA). Shannon is
also an Honarary Life Member of
this association.
We breed very very sparingly -
literally only when we want a pup
to (hopefully) continue our Saxony
lineage.
