  • Breeder Referral

    Our club participates in reputable breeder referral for Indiana for AKC and The Great Dane Club of America.

    Before purchasing a Great Dane, please contact our Corresponding Secretary:  Kathy Frederick, 4025 Terra Drive, Indianapolis, IN  46237-1325; (317) 784-7182   kativadanes@hotmail.com

    Remember:  a Great Dane is a cute puppy that will grow into a huge dog before it is 6 months old.  Adult female Danes are approximately 32-34" at the shoulder and weigh around 135 pounds.  Adult male Danes are approximately 35-36" at the shoulder and weigh around 165 pounds. 

    Buying a Great Dane should be an informed and educated decision.  Spend some time with a fully grown Great Dane before purchasing even a puppy.

    You are making a commitment  for the entire life of the dog.  We don't want to see YOUR dog end up in Dane Rescue, the Humane Society, the Dog Pound or worse.
