Kind Danes

Pupdate!
We end the year with most of the babies all now in their forever homes ♥️ I couldn't be happier with the families that welcomed our babies into their homes! So excited to watch them all grow! It's a bitter sweet moment when they leave us but I know they are well taken care of! This litter was so sweet and fun to be able to raise ♥️

Our beautiful merle girl will be staying here and is now Kind n Gem When Lightning Strikes "luminosity" aka lumin

Our stunning mantle boy went to a show home and our lightly marked harl went to a show home ♥️

The more heavily marked harl is still looking for his forever home, message Carrie Michaelson for details.

We have the black female still looking for her forever home, any messages can be sent to me ♥️

Teenie now Duke, has tripled in size over the last 2 weeks (was 9 pounds at his vet appointment) and got the vet approval to be placed. I had tons of inquires for our special little dane, and I love that he touched so many people's hearts! He went right next door to me with his perfect family. He was the hardest to let go, I really bonded with him over the last 9 weeks and was all he had, we faced every one of his battles together and celebrated every little accomplishment, cuddled every night, but to we made it and he is thriving, is all I could ever want! He is so sweet and smart and has the biggest heart for such a small little guy! I'm glad I get to continue to watch him grow and visit whenever I would like ♥️

Merry Christmas from all of the Kind Danes babies ♥️
They are 9 weeks old and are growing like weeds! This litter gave me the best Christmas present of them all, a beautifully structured bred by girl ♥️ I am amazed at every puppy in this litter, each puppy is structured great(even teenie!)and will all live up to the Great Dane breed in temperment; the pairing exceeded any expectation I could have had for it. We will have a repeat a similar time next yr ♥️
All puppies have found their home exept the black girl ♥️
Teenie is doing wonderful! I swear he doubles in size everyday, I spent so many sleepless nights with him, my bottle baby that I never knew would make it, is thriving. His bloating has gone away in the last week, he continues to grow (still smaller then the rest), but is up to almost 8 pounds! He is the sweetest, most sassy puppy who just wants to be cuddled and please everyone!
This litter showed me so much about the power of standard(and not just in their structure) in so many ways that I couldn't even begin to explain it.

I am so thankful to Carrie Michaelson for allowing me to coown Seuss and whelp the litter, I learned so much, changed so much, and just overall was an amazing learning experience(even if I had done it before, the experience was NO WHERE near what this one was). I bonded so much with each of these babies. And I cannot thank her enough for being involved in this litter every step of the way and answer ALL of the many questions I apparently had haha
I am thrilled with the homes they all found! Watch out for some of them in the show ring 😍

Pupdate:
All of the babies are almost fully potty trained, the still eat 3 meals a day, go out after every meal and about every 2-3 hours(they are great at letting you know when they have to go out)

They all love to play, run around in the grass, and explore new things.

They are all ready for their new homes Sunday and we do have a few still searching for pet homes. 🩷 message for any details!

The harl boys are doing great with their comomma and ready for their new homes. The heavy-marked harl is still looking, pm Carrie Michaelson for his details!

Teeny is doing great, growing every day just very slowly, bloating is slowly going away, he is very opinionated, he loves to cuddle and be in carseats, and is seriously as sweet as can be. Him playing with toys is hilarious. So far tho besides the smallness, he plays, walks normal, sees perfectly, and is just like any normal puppy. I have had some breeders reach out who have had very similar puppies, almost to the tee of how he is, so I'm hopeful for a good outcome but we will see how his vet appointment the 28th goes. 🩷

A little outside time today in sun 💓

Pupdate:

We are growing like weeds! Yesturday we got to start our potty training routine on REAL grass! We loved playing on it and socializing with the kids! We go out about every 2-3 hours! (They did amazing! All went poo their first time out!)

We are 7 weeks and some still looking for our forever families to spend Christmas with 💓 we get our second parvo shot tomorrow and will get dewormed & our 8 week shots before going to our new families 💓

The baby is doing great! Still growing slowly but other then that he's a normal puppy! He does have a vet appointment the 28th to do an xray just to check on everything internal!

Keeper girl is set to get cropped the 28th also and mantle boy pending structure next week 💓

Little midweek pupdate!
Picks have been made and some are still looking for their perfect forever 🏠

First up is our beautiful Merle girl, we are excited to announce that she will be staying here to be our very first bred by keeper! Words cannot describe how excited we are for the journey to come!
Second, we have our handsome mantle boy, looking for a show home, open to a local coown(will consider sacramento with a trainer of my choice) that will allow me to show him. He will be cropped and will stay here until this home is found.
Third we have the stunning Harl boys from our litter that got to go to their yaya and will be looking for one show home/one pet home. Message Carrie Michaelson for any info on these two ♥️

Available we have:
1 black female
2 black males
1 mantle male

The littlest puppy is staying pretty tiny compared to the rest, he is doing wonderful tho! Besides the bloating after some meals, he's on blue diamond sensitive stomach puppy, ground up wet & put on a slow feeder mat, but other then this he's pretty much a normal 6 week old puppy and boy is he sassy 🤣🤣 he has a vet appointment the end of the month and will determine any home placements after I see how that goes ♥️

Puppy update:
We are almost 6 weeks old! We play, have very sharp teeth, and love to eat! We have a new little jungle gym that we get to tug on toys with! We got to play outside for a little bit the other day but it's been sp cold lately so we prefer to snuggle inside. We have started using our fake grass potty area inside tho! We are all getting little personalities showing through more and more, we are all soo smart and LOVE our human mom cuddle time.

We got our parvo shot the other day & have started our 3 -day round of wormer today!
We are eatting mush+kibble twice a day and get either a meatball or drum stick for our lunch!

The littlest one is doing great, he is on a full raw turkey + pumpkin + goats milk diet as the kibble was not agreeing with his belly. He fully walks around the house, growls, plays, comes when called, puts himself to sleep in his crate, and overall is a very happy, healthy puppy. He is staying pretty small tho so we shall see if he decides to grow a little. I'm very thrilled with the progress he has made, it was a rough 6 weeks for us both but he's such the sweetheart.

We do have a few available for pet homes:
2 black males
2 mantle males
1 black female

I will be looking for a LOCAL coown home for the 3rd mantle boy, he will be cropped and will be available to me to take to shows occasionally. I am in no rush, he will be held until the perfect home is found and will begin his show training.

Little mini pup updated, we got to play outside for the first time yesturday while we had a little bit of sun and we got to have chicken drums for the first time! Needless to say they were all tired out at the end of their few hours!
Today we get our first parvo shot and tomorrow will get dewormed again ♥️
All are getting so big! Updated picture coming tomorrow! Some puppies still 👀👀.

Some have asked our feeding routine & what our mush consists of:
Mush = a little bit of kibble, a tablespoon of rice cereal, a tablespoon of goats milk formula, a teaspoon of coconut oil, a small capful of high vibe silver, about 1/4 teaspoon of vitamin c, a raw egg, and a tiny bit of raw hamburger, and water to make a gravy like texture.
We get about a spoonful each 3 times a day (this increases as their appetite does).
Around 5.5-6 weeks we will be on solid kibble with mush once a day to get in that extra nutrition. We will also be starting to get chicken legs!

Process of feeding:
So I played around with it for a few days switching things up and this is what I found works best because we all know mush is MESSY! Haha

Step one:
Put mush in muffin trays so everyone has their individual spots (no they don't always stay there) haha
Step two:
Section off an area of their puppy pen.
Step three: let them all eat until full
Step four: use a baby wipe on each puppy to clean off their face/paws and place on the other side of the sectioned off.
Step five: remove p*e pad from floor in that area, sanitize area, tape another p*e pad down.
Step six: remove divider
Step seven: happy, clean puppies and not an entire area of mess.

Pup date!
Big week for the babies so they get two updates in a week 🤣

We are now 4 weeks old, eatting mush 3 times a day, drinking water, and mom is only with us at night but weaning off. We LOVE our toys and to be played with (mom loves playing with us too... so we think 🤣). Our auntie Beretta isn't afraid of us anymore altho she's not a fan of all of us whinning at once 🤣.

We did GREAT at our first stacks after our human mom found the perfect combo of mush bate and we all our getting our little personalities in. She's so proud of us! Was also her first time stacking a puppy litter too so we learned together ♥️

We are bundles of joy and can't wait to go to our new homes in 4 weeks, time flies way too fast!

Currently looking for pet homes:
1 black unshowmarked boy
1 mantle boy
1 black unshowmarked female

Pet or POSSIBLE show home pending future evals
1 black boy
1 mantle boy

Still being held (out Of the 3 being held, pending future evalutaions will be looking for a LOCAL coowned home that would like to show or would allow me to take him to shows)
1 mantle boy
Both harl boys
Merle female

The little fighter is doing amazing! Getting bigger by the day, has little teeth coming in, and will be starting mush in the next few days. He's so sweet and loves to cuddle. He will be looking for the PERFECT pet home, I will be more picky then usual. His price will also be reduced compared to the others. I'm so happy with his progress, he's come such a long way! So far no health issues have arrised other then the occasional upset tummy. He will be seen by a vet prior to any home tho just to insure ♥️

Little puppies update:
We are all having mush twice a day & feeding off momma at night/weaning during the day. We all walk and are fiesty little things now that have teeth! We play with our siblings & are just starting to play with toys. We just got our big kid area and love having the extra room to get dirty 🤣 We are all little fatties & are getting big way too fast! We've been dewormed twice now, we get our nails dremels and tolerate it very well, and will get our first parvo shot next weekend!

First stacking practice will be on Sat/Sunday :D

So far we have 3 looking for pet homes:
1 black male
1 mantle male
1 black female

Little man is doing great, he's gaining weight, tripled in birth size, eyes are fully open, getting his little teeth in and he's learning his balance on his feet. Still bottle fed and not quite ready for mush yet, but we will get there. He's come such a long way and I think we are almost out of the clear. He will be looking for a special home within Redding area so I can visit from time to time and keep updated. He will also see the vet prior to any placement and be placed at 10 weeks instead of the normal 8 weeks just to insure everything is healthy ♥️

Pup updated!
All the babies are thriving & getting fatter by the minute 🤣 all have little open eyes, they have found their voices, and are starting to sit, walk, and play with each other. We are all starting to get our litte personalities in and overall every puppy is so sweet just like their parents.
Our tiniest guy "Tiny"(as my kids call him) has overall been gaining weight and doing okay, hes so cute & has a little fiesty personality. His eyes just started to get little slips open yesturday. Some days have been nothing but a heartwrenching battle but as long as he fights, ill fight for him. Overall tho he's turning out to be a healthy little guy, just a little behind the others. He is still under 24/7 supervision by me, being bottle fed to keep his weight up and sleeps right next to me. I have faith in him, but I do have to say that it's the hardest part about being a breeder.
We will begin puppy mush on Sunday and upgrade to our big kid area sometime next week where we will get plenty of toys to practice our new playful explorations on and start on their potty training.
Momma is doing such a great job cleaning the babies & feeding them, going to miss this stage 🤣 here's to messy days in the future.
All puppies are handled daily and as they get older will be introduced to more and more sounds, smells, and people. For the time being my kids are the best socialization now that puppies can play a little.
We have narrowed down a few choices and have available to PET homes:
1 black male
1 black female
1 mantle boy
Please reach out if you would like to know more about any of the babies. The rest are still pending evaluations but we may be looking for a few show homes/coown homes for the boys. ♥️

Puppies are a little over a week old ♥️ we did weigh ins (all puppies are little fatties and have gained about 1 pound each) and started their dremel training because owch their nails are sharp! Momma is being an amazing first time mom and clearly feeding them all their nutrients ♥️
Our littlest had a rough day yesturday but is back to his spunky self today & eatting is back to normal. He gained 6oz in the past week making him about 1 pound now ♥️he is being bottle supplemented every few hours and placed with mom & siblings while supervised (during the rest of the time he is sleeping with me or right next to me). Every little thing I take as a huge accomplishment. Still no other issues detected ♥️

We were blessed with a beautiful litter of 9 boys & 2 girls ♥️ some will be looking for pet homes, some coowned/show homes pending their evaluations which will begin at 4 weeks ♥️ until then we are enjoying puppy breath & little cuddles ♥️

Petrichor's Dare in Brocca "Beretta" had an amazing and fun debut to the show world the past 4 days! First day took a BOB and Group 2, then took BOS the other 3 days! She exceeded every expectation I had of her! Was such a good girl inside and out of the ring! Mommy is so proud in every way! ❤️ cannot wait to see how she matures and what great things she accomplishes this year ❤️

Happy St Patrick's Day from our little monster 🍀
