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. Enjoy the site! PS. A special thank you to the people who contributed photos for our site, especially to David & Laura for the stunning main photo.
