Please enjoy what people have to say about my babies! Sorry, no space for all the GREAT pictures of my babies in their new homes with their families! I do have the photos and on request I may share some of those pictures with those that request per family after submitting requesting person's email to the family for pre-approval.

Hi, This is Nicole. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I have been really busy. The puppy is great. My grandpa loved him. The puppy does not leave his side. He is getting really big from when I bought him from you. When I download the pictures I will send you some if you would like to see what he looks like. Thank you so much for the little guy. He has a great home with a loving owner. My grandpa ended up naming him Cherokee after his old one that past away to honor a good dog. So your puppy is in a great home and is being taken good care of. Thank you again so much we love the little guy. Sincerely, Nicole Mon 11/19/07 11:44 AM Santa Clarita, CA. ****************** Hi Roger, We wanted to see if we could bring Max (Angel and Sunny parents, born 4/30/06) by for a visit with the family. We’ll be not far from town the 4th through the 8th, if you’re available. Also we would have a recently adopted 16 month old mantle great dane with us, if that’s alright. Please let us know if this works for you. I am attaching a few photos of Max. Thanks, Brandie and Jason Tue 7/03/07 1:04 AM &&&& Roger, We brought Max and the female mantel we adopted for a visit around the middle of July. The partnership doesn’t seem to be working out too well with them and we are going to be returning her to the Springfield rescue this weekend (9-22). We wanted to see if you might be available for another visit from Max (one of Angel’s pups from 4-30-06). We also noticed your new litters and thought we might like to get a look at the brindle males. We are trying to time it so that it is a little later in the day – considering your wife. Please let us know if that’s possible, we are excited to see them. Thanks, Jason and Brandie Wed, 19 Sep 2007 15:56:37 -0500 HI Guys: I love to see my babies! Brindle male in Kitty's litter still available $800, and could go Sat as he is now 6 wks today! I have 4 of 5 fawns in same litter. In Nabilia's litter, I need to get photos online, there are 4 Brindle males only 3 weeks right now. Sorry about your other adventure not working, you should have come back to me! It would have saved you an extra trip. However I am always glad to see MAX 2 times instead of only once. This time, I'll remember to take photos too! CYa-Roger Max and Oliver I'm just playing around with our new camera and had to send this to you. We'll be sending out that testimonial email here pretty soon. Jason & Brandie Tue 11/06/07 1:48 PM ****************** Hello there, I am located in Vermont, looking for a Fawn male and female. I noticed on your website that you are expecting Fawn puppies on Thanksgiving and you also seem to have the best quality care for your prices. I want beautiful Great Danes for breeding that will produce beautiful pups! I am wondering if you can keep me up-to-date on the puppies you are expecting and also the price you will be selling them at. Shipping will also be a cost, and if you could include that with your price estimates, it would be appreciated. If we come to an agreement about the purchase of a puppy or two, I will definitely want to set up a webcam session when they arrive!!! Thank you for all your help, Floral Sun 10/28/07 9:21 AM ************ Hi Roger! Mason is resting peacefully in his new digs. He is the most precious thing I've ever seen (even more so than my beloved Dane, "Scooby"). He is absolutely beautiful!!!!! I'm considering asking you for one of Mason's male siblings. Whatcha' got? Deborah Sat 10/13/07 6:19 PM &&&&&& Hey Roger, Excellent! Bennett still doesn't know that Mason's brother is arriving tomorrow. I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve right now. Except I'm the one who knows "the secret". I can't wait to see the "sweet one". I still haven't come up with a name for him though. Mason is one damn awesome puppy. I can't wait to see what he's going to do when he sees his brother tomorrow. All the best, Deborah Mon 10/15/07 9:36 PM &&&&&& Hey Roger! "Clyde" is doing great. He played, drank water, and peed outside. He also let Mason know who was "the boss" at the beginning. However, Mason seems to be the dude in charge right now. Clyde also chowed. Both he and Mason love the pig's ear chew that you sent. They were spatting between themselves in order to take possession of it. I've had those pig's ears in the past (not personally, mind you) so I'll plan on stocking up. One of the first things I noticed about Clyde was that he is quite the "grunt-er". Whenever he's picked up, he goes through his entire grunting routine. I could just eat him up. And his tail has been wagging the whole time. They're both resting comfortably right now in side-by-side crates downstairs in the family room. Deborah Tue 10/16/07 6:10 PM &&&&& Hi Roger You probably got my gushy voice message! Anyway, I called JoAnne XXXXXX tonight. She's quite a lady. At first I thought: Oh my, a great grandmother with an invalid husband out on a farm ....and a Dane puppy! Then we're talking, and I discover she has two additional grown Danes. We talk a bit more and I come to find out that she has TWENTY ONE Great Danes. Twenty one!!! And as if THAT wasn't enough, I come to find out that she has 11 llamas. I didn't ask her anymore questions. I'm definitely going to take the boys out to see their sister. I just gotta check this out. Deborah &&&& Hey Roger... The pup-pups (as my son calls them) are doing fabulous. They are the cutest damn things I've ever seen. Life is delicious! Deborah Sat 11/10/07 10:40 PM ************ Roger, Thanks for taking the time to write. I have some unfortunate news for you. When we took Max to the vet to have him neutered, he went into cardiac arrest and could not be revived. It was devastating to my family especially since Max was so loving. We had the proper blood work done for the anesthesia and it came back clear prior to the surgery. We had Max buried in a pet cemetery and had a service that was very important to my youngest boy Trey, who is eight. He still talks about Max and how he misses him. I've enclosed a picture of Sampson. He was about 1 1/2 in this picture, 35 inches at the shoulders (36 inches now at 2 years) and goes about 175lbs. He is really beginning to fill out. Sampsons Dad is two inches shorter and goes 185lbs at 7 years old. We have a picture of Sampsons grandpa who was a show dog in Florida and was 36 inches and 200lbs in his prime. More importantly, Sampson is a great dog with a loving demeanor. That's what makes losing Max so tuff. They would have had great times playing together. Anyway, sorry for the bad news as I know like us, you care very much for all of your dogs... even the ones you sell. Keep in touch, Mark, Nebraska @@@@ Mark came back to me for an other Great Dane. He got his 2nd from me out of Kitty's litter DOB 27 Aug 2007 - People know who raise Great Great Danes for the Best family members!!!@@@@ I am still waiting for updates but until then read on... &&&&& Roger, It's Mark and Tiffani XXXX from up in Nebraska. We purchased Max (pictured below) when you were overseas in May of 2005. I think it was your sister that helped us when you were gone. Also, if you remember Max passed away shortly after we received him from the anesthesia that was administered during the neutering process. Max was born March 30th, 2005 to parents Sunny and Lady. Pictured with Max below is our now 3yr old fawn Sampson. Sampson was great with Max and we think he's again ready for a friend. Sampson has the life of luxury. We have a walk out basement with a built in kennel. The kennel has heat and A/C so when it's too hot or too cold Sampson has his choice to come inside. Our backyard is nearly an acre fenced so there is plenty of room to roam. We really enjoyed Max the short time we had him and we have agreed we are ready to add another Dane to our home. When we told you the bad news with Max, you said to contact you when we were ready to add another Dane and you could work out a deal with us. Sex of the dog is not important. We will know the dog for us when we meet him/her. We plan on coming down to Missouri within the next 2-4 weeks to visit family in Joplin. Please let me know when would be the best time to view the dogs and the price range available. Thanks again, Mark and Tiffani Fri, 5 Oct 2007 22:33:47 -0500 &&&&&&& Hi Mark: I not only remember it well, I have your comments on my testimonials page within the website. You are in luck as I have 1 1/2 litters on the ground. The younger litter from Nabila are 5 generation color pure will be 6 weeks old Monday = in 2 weeks, we (Wife & I did get married in the Philippines when you got your previous pup from me), might be on a trip to Southern California. Please come before 20 Oct. 2007 for your male pup (your choice of brindle, all 4 available, or fawn 2 of 3 available) for 1/2 off. Is that a fair deal for you? I always try to help especially when the loss was not either of our fault. I have from Kitty 6 generation color pure 3 of 4 available, they turned 8 weeks Wed. 3 Oct. Please check out web site with videos & photos. I need to update it but basically most males are available. All stock is DNA profilled. The sire is OFA certified - SUNNY. The mothers are either OFA certified or the parent's of Kitty are OFA certified. All pups go with micro chips. Not only do the pups get 2 Parvos but a variety of wormers in sequence PLUS 2 doses of Kennel Cough medication. I also provide Esbilac a supplemental nursing formula that not only max out their genetic potential but also increases bonding to human contributing to the biggest & best babies you could want for a family member. As always I feel pack training in large open pens instill great education to be better couch potatoes. True most people do not need this level of quality, but nobody has ever complained that has gotten my babies! The bad news is well advertising and other costs are not cheap. I market the critters at $800 for limited AKC registration& 900 for breeding rights. I am sure the $800/2 = $400.00 should be a reasonable amount. There is a chance that I sell out and will take a loss on the CA puppies as I would air ship instead of deliver if I do not develop additional sales along the route. Please call me for more information or to schedule a web cam appointment! Thank you, Roger White 417.267.3498 PS Thanks for the photos and I am glad to hear from you! I am very pleased you not only thought of me, but remembered how to contact me! &&&&&&& Roger, I left you a message on your phone to call. We were looking at coming down tomorrow (Wednesday) to look at the puppies and wanted to make sure you would be available. We would be arriving between 10am and 1pm. Give me a call or email back if you will be available. Thanks, Mark Tue 10/09/07 4:31 PM &&&&&& @@@They did come get a Fawn Male - this space is for their comments when they get around to it.@@@ *************** Hey Roger It’s Moira just wanted to let you know we had more puppies. There are 8, 2 mantle , 2 merle, 3 harlequin and 1 black. 4 boys 4 girls. We hope Daphne is doing good. I just sent letters to all of Lady Daphne’s first litter to see how they are doing . I’m hoping to get some feed back. Take Care, Moira XXXX Thu, 16 Aug 2007 13:05:50 -0500 ********** Albert all grown up Sent: Tue 7/10/07 8:54 PM Roger, Thought that I would send you a picture of Albert all grown up. He is doing great! I was also wondering if maybe you had a female brindle pup available, or if you might have one soon? Thanks Stevie & Albert in Ar &&&&&&& RE: Albert all grown up Sent: Wed 7/11/07 12:35 AM I would be interested in either Kitty or Nabilia, indoor home is a definate thing here, however, I do not fence or chain my big dogs. My toy poodles and Cockers are in kennels. It would be best, no matter the price, that I got a female who is acceptable for the no fence rules. We have 28 acres with a perimeter fence and that is it. Albert has the yard and then some to play in while he is outside. Yes, Albert is 2 years old. I have often considered getting him fixed, but he is by far the most beautiful animal I have ever had, far and above my other Dane, Einstein, who was slightly flawed. How old is Kitty? And Nabilia? Not that there is any rush since both are having litters soon, but when would either one be available? You know, I looked for almost two years to find Albert, I am just going back to the source, so to speak. Thanks for writing back! From: STEVIE &&&&&&& I am searching for a fawn male. My Dane past away two summers ago, he was eight years old. I know that a new Dane cannot replace Einstein, but it will help fill a void that I have had since he has been gone. Please contact me at 501-XXX-XXXX, thank you. Stevie, Ark Roger, Last night I went to your website. That is the reason that I chose to write to you. I am not looking for a show quality Dane, but I do want one that is ethically color bred, not some trash bred that came from a cross that should never have been made. I breed American Quarter Horses and understand the ideas of proper crosses. I am also a big fan of breed standards, that is what makes a dog a dog, not a mutt. I live in Arkansas in the north central portion of the state. I have travelled as far as Ohio for a horse so it makes no problem for me to come to Missouri for a puppy. The pup does not have to be perfect in color or markings, my other Dane wasn't, he had a white toe and a dirty chest, but he was perfect for me. I want a fawn because in my opinion that is the best Dane color, it is my favorite. I will call you sometime today to discuss this further. Thank you for your promt response. Stevie, Ark &&&&&&&&&&&& Roger, Thanks so much for letting me know you got the check. I am counting the days til I can bring him home. I even told my mom that he is going to be with me at Christmas, we are going to Iowa to visit my family. See ya soon, Stevie Hey Roger, Albert made the trip home just fine and is right now sleeping under my desk here at work. He slept with us last night and did really well only woke me up once to go outside and that was at 2:30am. Thank you again so much. Stevie Roger, Just thought I would drop you a line on how Albert is doing. He is growing beautifully, his ear crop turned out perfect. He is probably the most beautiful Dane I have ever seen. I am so happy with my pup, he is fabulous! Thanks again for being there to raise my Albert in the first place! Stevie, Ark &&&&&&&&&&&& Roger, Albert is everything I had hoped for and more, he is beautiful and beastly! He gets along well with all the other dogs, except for Shelby, the Peke, she scares him. He does well with the horses, but barks at the ones he doesn't know. He loves to wrestle and rough house with anyone who will attempt it, but is very gentle with my one year old granddaughter. He hogs the bed but I don't mind, my husband does. He has free roam on 28 acres and has never wandered off. I love him, I may be wanting another soon!! Trust me I will return to you for all future pups! **************** Sent: Tue 7/03/07 4:36 PM Hey Roger, I’ve been meaning to respond to you and get you some pictures of Addy. She’s doing great and we start puppy training classes this Saturday – oh boy! We also took her to the vet this week and the Vet said she’s in great health. The Vet also really appreciated the care you took in organizing her shots and such since birth, she even took all the meds that you left with us and pulled the stickers off and put on Addy’s chart for future reference. I’ll get some pics loaded up this weekend and try to send them to you Monday. Have a great 4th of July! Rufus (and Martha) XXXXX and Family… and Addy (*Nixa, MO. -note: the only 1 sold in the entire state of MO. out of the Roxy litter!) &&&&&& Hey Roger, I know it’s been way too long and I promised this way back -we’ve been too busy building our house and I just thought about it and have the time. So, here you go… Hope all is well. Rufus, Martha, Cheyenne, Sydney and Judah Tue 10/09/07 9:50 AM **************** Subject: Pictures of Cleo Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2007 23:43:24 Hello Roger, here are some pictures of Cleo, she is now 45 lb. and doing great. John and I did get her off our bed, she now sleeps on her own pillow on the floor. Still likes her yogurt which she gets every day. Cleo is well behaved and we're Sooooooooo happy to have her. We'll keep in touch. John and Eva (*Portland Tennessee) ***&&&&&&*** Hi Roger, Cleo is adjusting very well since we got home on Tuesday evening. She had a vet visit on Wednesday and received few booster shots including parvo. By the way it's a good thing that we have a king size bed , Cleo took up residence in the middle of it. She is eating well and loves her yogurt. No problem house training, only one small slip up, as you said she is GREAT. We will send few pictures soon. 5/26/07 8:56 PM &&&&& Subject: Pictures of Cleo Hello Roger, here are some pictures of Cleo, she is now 45 lb. and doing great.

Mater is finally settling down and Mugz is mommies baby when I come home from work and don't pay attention to him right away he grabs hold of my skirt and pulls it to let me know that he's here. They are the love of my life and couldn't imagine life with out either of them. The kids love them to death too. I wish that we lived out of the city so we could have more dogs I would love to buy more because I know that we would be getting the best dogs possible. I will keep you up on everything and as soon as I get vet paperwork I will forward it to you. Have a great day. The Warrenburg Family (*2 of my babies in Wisconsin) **************** Roger, Please take me off the e-mail list. Also, Cathy and I are very happy with the puppy we picked up last Sunday. The puppy is doing great and will visit the vet on Tuesday. Thanks for calling & have a great "dane" day. Sincerely Rob & Cathy ********* Subject: Rory Roo Hey Roger, Just wanted to up date my Rory Roo baby and tell you that Jasmin looks like a wonderful person. She"s very pretty and you look very happy. Congratulations!!! Roo (for kangaroo) is doing great! She is turning into a beautiful dog at 100 lb. and 30 in ---- I think. She dislikes the yard sick by her side so it"s hard to measure. I know it when she steps on my foot though! My yard is starting to look like a bombing has occurred with all the digging and my remote controls have become her chew toys.... good thing she's cute. She has done great at socializing we can go anywhere even the dog park and she's wonderful. It's like having my own court jester around the house with all her antics. Bailey and the cats still don't get why I brought home a Great Dane but they'll adjust in time... I had a professional picture taken of Roo at 5 months I'd like to send you but I can't find your address. Could you send it to me? Well you take care and say HEY to Jasmine for me.. Kris and Jess 3/23/07 &&&&&&&& Hi Roger! Wanted to update you on our pup, she's great, doing great and a wonderful addition to our family. I'm so happy we decided to get her! I forgot what it's like having a baby in the house though! But she is very intelligent and catches on fast. She probably thinks her name is "NO". She likes to debate when I tell her NO but I always win with kisses and hugs from her. Jess named her Rory from Gillmore Girls show I just call her "baby", don't tell Jess : ) She really missed her mom and brothers and sisters at first she cried and howled for hours when left alone. She sleeps with me now ) : I know I know they say don't start that but she spoons very nicely and doesn't howl anymore. She is growing soooo fast! We got her at 8 wks and 12 lb. then I swear 9 days later she grew over night I'm guessing she's about 20 lb now at 10 wks. her paws have doubled in size! WoW! She loves soft squeaky toys and hooves to chew on. Her favorite is her tennis ball though she loves to play catch and she brings it back every time for me to throw again and again. Has learned to sit also. Potty training is going great! Thank goodness, that and chewing all my furniture were my biggest worrys. She's had her momments with my plants but has them all trimed up nicley now. She goes out side to potty for the most part. We watch for the signs and just do it after a nap and in the morning and before bed at night. When she does go in the house it's 90% of the time on the paper. I think two or three more weaks and we'll have it mastered. Thank you Roger for a wonderful well adjusted dog. Your love and care of your animals really comes out in Rory. I have some great pictures I need to pull off my camera I'll send them soon. Thanks, Kris, Jessie and Rory (baby) St. Charles, MO. &&&&&&&&&&&& Subject : Rorys Brother Hey Roger! How are things? looks like your busy with lots of puppies as usual. Guess what? I ran into one of your pups. I just dropped Jess off at school and was driving away through the subdivision when I saw a guy walking his Dane pup. The face and eyes looked so much like Rory's I had to stop and ask him about his beautiful dog. Keep in mind that I'm near the high school and cars and buses are all going around me but we talked for just a few minutes and realized we had you in common. I can't remember his name he lives on Krinkel st. here in st Charles though and his dogs name was something that started with an "M" and I think he said he was 3 1/2 months old. He suggested we get the dogs together but I didn't get enough info from him for that because I had to get out of the way of traffic. If you know who I'm talking about please give him my E-Mail address. He said he calls you on the phone all the time. I sure would appreciate it Roger thanks. Rory is doing great by the way. I tell ya Great Danes are a very unique animal from the bouncing to the ploping to the curiosity about everything she is like no shepered or collie I've ever had. I found danesonline.com before I got Rory I see all the personality in the pictures now in Rory that I didn't catch before I got her. She is so cool! I could see me getting another someday but I think 2 dogs, 2 cats a rat, a fish and a teenager who nows it all is enough for now! Well I wiil talk to ya later off to work I go... someone has to feed all these things. Thanks again, Kris St. Charles, MO. **************** Subject: Testimonial! Roger/Tammy, *(Tammy played mid-wife to a Jan litter while I went on vacation in the Philippines) We just wanted to drop a note (and a picture) to you to let you know how well Peyton is doing. We decided to keep the “code name” Tammy had given her. It fits so well! Not only is she extremely beautiful with perfect markings, but she is SO smart! Can you believe at 8 weeks old, she’s already going to the door to be let outside to go potty?? We feel blessed and extremely lucky to have gotten her. She is being spoiled rotten and we wouldn’t have her any other way! Thanks so much for the newest addition to our family. Terry, Kim, Cliff, Victoria and Peyton Plunkett 7:49 PM 3/20/07Kimmie *(Peyton and the entire litter were named during the Super-bowl 2007) ************* Hi Roger, I just wanted to let you know how well Jordis (brindle female)was doing. I was very skeptical of getting a large dog, considering that my dogs weigh no more than 4 pounds. My fiance had grown up with shepards and a wolf/shepard. He longed for a large dog for our house, because he thinks my little dogs are little rats. He wanted my son to have a larger companion. I wanted a standard poodle, but after talking to you realized a great dane was for me. I went behind my fiance's back and suprised him with Jordis, my "little" girl. He fell in love with her instantly. Our house is not a home without her. She never messes in our house, she doesn't pick on my smaller dogs, and her best friend is my little weenie dog. She lays down while Ryder lays under her head chewing on her neck and face. When we go outside to play, I pat my chest and she jumps up parallel to me and gives me a dane hug. Her arms wrap around my neck, and she burries her head in my neck. My neighbors laugh because she is much taller than I am on her hind legs, and it looks like I am hugging a monster. The only problem with her is that she thinks of herself as a lap dog, which I LOVE but house guests don't. All I have to say is Jordis get down, and she parks her butt on the couch right beside them sitting in on conversation. She lives to love, and loves my son and my small dogs especially. My Chihuahua rules over her every day. If Frito growls at her she cowers down like he is the devil. I love to watch her interactions with everthing. She is so smart and I am never going to buy any other dog besides a Great Dane again! She is perfect. Sydney 11/13/2006 12:28:26 PM ***************** Mozart makes our family almost complete After Margaret, our 10 year old fawn passed in 2005, we got Mozart in 2006 as a 4 month old fawn male from Roger White in Springfield, Mo. We took him to puppy class. He did exceptionally well. He is 8 months old right now and bigger than some of the 10 month old harlequins we've met. Mozart is the center of attention wherever we go and he gets along with all kinds of species, human and animal alike. Inside the home he is the perfect alarm system. He is such a good soul, couldn't have asked for a better Dane. I'm looking forward to adding another one of Roger's Danes to our Family, hopefully sooner than later. Jasmine, Ft. L Wood, MO. June 19, 2006 @@@Jasmine returned just after New Year's Day in 2007 & got a Brindle female to go with Mozart! Emily is one of the pups that did get returned to me in this case their was family issues that were too much for Jasmine to tolerate with a 2nd pup. Emily was sold to a single Lady in Memphis that claimed she was the star of attention on the nearby kid's playground. She was full of energy and will keep that that lady's hands busy! ***************** Hello Roger, Sorry it took so long to send you a note! The puppy is doing great! He was a bit unsure for the ride home (a LONG one) but by the time we were almost home, he was walking on the leash pretty well. Took him a day or two to settle in, but has made friends and loves to play tug of war with one of my other dogs. He is very friendly and never meets a stranger. Terri Gordon - Colorado Hi Roger, It was nice meeting you and all your "kids" WE made it home fine. IT was late when we did finally get home. The puppy was an angel. He was so good, you didn't even know he was there! Terri Gordon - Colorado Hi Roger, Thanks so much for the directions and motel lists!! It looks like I won't be able to leave until Saturday, late afternoon. I plan to pick the puppy up on Sunday, whatever time we get there. I hate to wait, but I really want my son to be able to come with me. I am going to send the cashier's check express mail tomorrow, you will have it Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. I will email you the tracking number as soon as I have it! Terri Gordon - Colorado ***************** Roger It was good talking with you, and I'm glad that your Danes are doing well. I no that I am very happy with Hercules, and would not get rid of him for the world. A person could not ask for a better friend, and it does not matter how bad of a day you had he is always waiting at the door with with his tail wagging. Thank you for such a wonderful friend. Thank you Jessie Morgan (Texas) ****************** I have a Great Dane that is 10 months old. He has made me realized how hard it is to make sure that he gets the nutrition he need to keep up with his quickly growing body. This is because of lack of quality dog food for the x-large breed. Mainly, I wanted to let you know how healthy your puppies and for that matter, your adult dogs look. 7/7/2006 2:03:46 PM Jessica ***************** baree@XXXXX.net> Hello, I just went to your web site and you have very nice great danes. I live near Branson. I am a dog lover and a horse lover. I used to show and raise dogs, and I have a horse. Hope to hear back from you. Jill ***************** Hello, Just had the privilege of viewing your website. You obviously love your dogs and that is apparent in the pictures, video and GREAT captions. It made me miss our Dane even more. Thank you for reminding me what wonderful spirits these gentle giants are. I especially love the fact that your darlings are "Au Natural" My family has done rescue for greyhounds up until 2004 and now we rescue Cavaliers. We still must admit that our first love is the Brainy Zany Big Ole Daney. Not poetic just the truth. I have contacted the local rescue and we are waiting for a response. Hope your days are Great and from what I have seen on your site that is a given! God Bless, Kim XXXXX **************** Hi Roger...... I am sorry it took so long to finally get a chance to sit down and write you. I got both your calls but I just wasn't in the right place or the right time to talk. "Daphne" is doing great. Seems like she has already grown so much in one week!! She has a great personality and is playing very well with a couple of dogs around the neighborhood. She has really taken to sleeping in the bed at night (practically takes up the whole thing by the time she gets comfortable) we laugh about it until we fall asleep. She is eating in the morning and at night. And already whines when she knows she needs to get outside to go to bathroom. She hasn't quite figured out where the doors are yet, but she is close. She follows my daughter around everywhere she goes, which is exactly what I was hoping for! I will try to keep you posted as she grows, in a timely fashion! Thanks! Melanie Elsberry, MO ***************** Roger, Blackie is now named "Libby". She is a doll and has yet to have an accident in the house. We are supervising her closely and feel that she will be housebroke in a week or two. She already response to "you want to go outside". She slept in the bed with us and just loves to cuddle. I think she thinks that she has a little yorkie in her because she wants to be a lap dog! Thanks again and we'll keep you posted on her. I attached a pic of her in the house. Denny, St. Louis, MO. ************* Puppy Master... I apologize for not getting back to you sooner...I have been on the "Tread Mill of Life" and somebody put it in high gear. I am currently in New Jersey working on a circuit upgrade and I will be returning home late tonight. Puppy is doing well... He thinks that he is a chewing machine at the current moment. Also, I need to make time to clip his razors...I mean nails to try to keep him from drawing any more blood than he has. The cats are displaying 2 different responses. The older cat is basically trying to stay away from him but is not as P.O.'ed that he is in the house as he was with Goliath. The second hasn't decided if he wants to play with him or not. He doesn't necessarily run away but he definitely is concerned about the size of this new creature. Not to mention that the dog looks a lot like a cat when he sees the smaller cat. He takes a step waits for approximately 45 seconds then slowly takes the next and continues this until the cat gets too uncomfortable and takes off...then the chase is on. The cat looking for a place to feel more at ease, the dog thinking it's time to play and off they go. How is the rest of the litter doing??? Sean... Maryland &&&&&&&&&&&& Roger, Malachi is all BOY. He is into everything. I now charge the kids 10 cents every time I have to pull out a stuffed animal or a shoe from his mouth. He loves to ride in the car and will go on any adventure. Today he was helping dig dirt. He does love the task. We are building new gardens around the house and he loves to dig in the dirt. He has the best personality and is doing well. The worst animal we have is a cat and he will chase the younger one, but he is afraid of the older one. He is so cute. It is hard to tell him to “leave it” when he looks so cute just holding it. He is getting very large. We have him on the same food that you did. I found it at Walmart and he had no stomach upset. I can definitely say he is a great dog and you did a wonderful job with the breeding. I will send more pictures next week. We are going out of town this weekend. Have a great day. Sandy, Maryland &&&&&&&&&&&& Hey Puppy Master, It has been a while…too much still going on here. Malachi is still doing well. He is approx about waist high, maybe higher, at the top of the head and I want to say approximately 90-100 lbs, possibly more. Sandy would know more of the specifics. Very good disposition still…he is working on his defiant stage, Teenagers – What do you expect ! ! !, but all in all…he is not all that bad. Loves to dig in the garden and drink out of the fountain. Cars are not as interesting as before, but they still offer a challenge from time to time. The kids get upset on occasion when Malachi sits on them, wanting to use them as a piece of furniture or a lumpy bean-bag chair. And, most anybody is a possible human napkin. I need to send my Digital Camera off to be fixed…once I get it back I will send a couple of pictures. Sean… *************** Hi Roger, I just wanted to let you know we had the best trip back! He was soooo good, of course he was held the whole way!!! Also, I could'nt wait... Doug LOVES Winston I knew he would be suprised but he cryed for 20 min. before he said a word. He loves him so much. He is such a perfect addition. He did great last night too, we made his bed beside ours and slept all night. He woke at 2 with a little wimper and went right back to sleep. He is great and we love him. I cant thank you enough for caring and raising such wonderful pets!! I will send you pictures soon! Thanks Again!! Julie Hi Roger, We are doing great!! Winston is everything we wanted! He weighs 92 lbs. and is a big baby...... he loves to play but he also loves to be loved!!! He seems to be getting braver and braver as the days pass. He ventures further and is becoming more inquisitive. We are having a bit of a trial with him wanting to nip and chew EVERYTHING, including us .... he has alot of energy and Im not sure if this is an outlet for the energy?? Other than that, he has a beautiful muzzle and coat. The Vet has given him thumbs up each time we have gone and was impressed with the girth he has. A couple weeks ago I gave a man your telephone #. I will let him know you have a litter. Thanks for touching base and I will Email you pictures soon! Julie, St. Louis **************** What a great web site no wonder it made 2006 puppy web site of the year. There is so much great information and cute pictures. I love the movie clips of the puppies they are just so adorable. Jasmin 6/29/2006 11:23:04 PM **************** Subject: great dane puppies I was just wondering how much you charge per puppy? I've been thinking of getting a great dane: i was just trying to get a cost estimate of this type of dog. My mother lives right down the road from you , and thats how i knew how to contact you. please e-mail me back at heather@XXXX, Pleasant Hope/Springfield MO. **************** Subject: My puppy Roger, Hey how are the puppies doing. I would like to know if it would be possible to pick the puppy up a week from today. The oldest is working that weekend, and she would like to be with me when I pick him up. We are extremely excited and can't wait to bring the little fella home. Please email me with your answer. If he won't be ready we'll understand, let me know when he can come home. Thanks. Lynne Marshfield, MO. ****************** Hi, Hope your weekend was good! Just looking at the website and the great pictures of the dogs!! Here is my e-mail so you can send me directions. I'll call you as soon as maggie comes into heat. Thank You, Andrea, Marshal, MO. ***************** Hi Roger, how are you doing? I am doing alright! That is cool that you take your dogs places with you! We don't have a petsmart or anything like that here in Minot it is a small town ...there isn't to much to do around here! Oh well we will be here for awhile longer! If you have any pictures of this male could you send them to me? That would be awesome if you could! Thanks for getting back to me I appreciate it!! Tamara, North Dakota-Minot AFB I always visit your website to see what is new and to look at your dogs! I think you have a lot of great looking animals! I spoke with you last summer about one of your females that you had I want to say her name was daisy but I never got back to you becuaSE i HAD LOST your number. Well if you would like to speak with me on the phone I am usually up and wondering around in the mornings about 9:30. My phone number is 701 XXX-XXXX. Well once again thanks for getting back to me I appreciate it! Have a good night! Tamara, North Dakota-Minot AFB Howdy Roger hows it going? I am doing well today! Well I talked to my hubby and showed him the pup and he likes the pup too. So in other words I will be visiting you this friday. I am going to leave to head down to Missouri Thursday night and get down there sometime friday i will have my cell on me so I will be able to call you when I am close Well I will give you a call and let you know when I am leaving and what not! So I will talk to you soon and see you soon! Thanks Tami Hey Roger hows it goin? We are all doing fine! Well first off we named our new guy Brutus! We at first couldn't figure out an appropriate name for him, so we got to thinking about it and because he was already so big when we got him we named him Brutus. He is a wonderful big boy. We love him to death. He gets along with out other dogs extremly well. He has brought one of our other dogs out of his shell so that is cool! House breaking hasn't worked so far I guess because everything is still frozen up here so smells are different, so that has been difficult. Now as far as socialization he is a big goober. He loves to play with all the other dogs when I take him to the dog park. He is so funny because he doesn't realize how big he is sometimes and he is soooo clumsy! Brutus is about 9 months now and he is taller than my other danes who are a year old and one that is over 3 years old. He is going to be huge so the name fits because he is a Brut!! I would definently buy another dog from you in the future! I would definently recommend others to buy a pup from you also. Well take care and I will send you pictures soon! Tami, North Dakota-Minot AFB ************** Roger, The new puppy is doing great. She was a little scared at first, but has adjusted well. Attached is a picture of her at my work trying to fit into my partner's dog's bed. I think she is too big! Tracy Roger wrote: I liked the pix, I sent it on to other buddies! What did the Vet have to say about puppy? What did Vet say about healthcare? Did your baby tiger eat the other dog? CYa-Roger Roger, Glad you liked the pictures. The vet didn't say too much only that she weighed 41 pounds and was ready anytime to be spade. He also gave her the rest of her shots. They wrote all the stuff down on her chart that you had given us. We decided to name her Dixie and all of our family and friends think she is a beautiful dog. Everyone has commented on her coloring. She is really starting to act like a puppy now. Tippy and Dixie still have words for each other, but Tippy is starting to relax. I wish I had a camera today. I make Tippy and Dixie share the backseat for now so they bond more. Well Tippy was laying down on the seat and Dixie was laying right on top of her. What a sight! And no comments from either of them. Well I am at the plant today so I need to get some work done. Tracy ************* Roger, Mandy is doing great. she is getting adjusted to all of of us and is doing great so far with her training. Although she is still very skidish. but she is doing a lot better. just wanted to tell u her and the pig dont play together because for one the pig dosent like to play at all. But the main reason is is because mandy is afraid of her and wont go very close to her. so im afraid we wont be able to send u pictures of her and the pig playing together. but anyways mandy is doing great and she is a very good and well behaved dog. Thanks, Michelle, Colorado ***************** Roger, thanks for the fast reply. I do not have the plans of breeding or showing this dog. She is to be a play companion for my harlequin male. I had hoped that you would had way to contact the original purchasers to see if she had been spayed or shot records. She does have a small rough spot 2" long on her stomach where it may have done but it is very hard to see you can only feel it. The behavioral problems they were talking about have yet to be seen. She seem to be a typical Dane puppy with a lot of energy. With the quality of dogs you are known for producing I would have found it hard to believe she is so dysfunctional. If you would have seen where she was at I got her you would understand why I took her home with me. She was chained with about 6' of run to the porch with no doghouse or shelter just an old blanket on the ground. The chain was tangled and she was walking in her own poop. I would have taken her no matter what just to get her away from the other breeders. Even their other breeding dogs were not being very well taken care of. They were chained with very similar conditions. Any information about this dog would be greatly appreciated thanks, Shawn, St. Louis, MO. Hi Shawn: Thank you for rescuing one of my kids! I do not doubt the conditions that she was in as my feelings about the people I talked to for less than 10 minutes well less just say I was not impressed. The pup is a 4th generation color pure Brindle - microchip the dog! Spay the dog at 6 months. Perhaps the spot on her belly is from the birthing process as in an umbilical hernia (not genetic) or just the umbilical spot. I cannot speculate further without seeing the animal. I feel the female at barely 5-months, I doubt that she has been spayed. Those people that do not register a dog to take advantage of a 60-day free health care insurance package along with AKC papers usually do not provide much health care. I am glad you have not observed the unspecified behavioral issues that were alleged when dumped on not what I would consider reputable breeders. I always welcome pictures of my kids throughout their growth cycle. I also encourage the new parents of my kids to come for visits so my kids can have family get-togethers. I have found my babies once touched with love and understanding, will lay their heads on lap while driving and make excellent couch potatoes!Should you find yourself in the Springfield area please give me a couple of days notice & I will rearrange my schedule of events to accommodate a visit should you desire. I hope all this helps you now and in the future.

She is now papered and has a good personality not a biter like she was made out to be. She is a little shy around some strangers but, she has my 150 LB male Dane to do introductions and makesure that everyone is OK to go around. She is a clown, and everything is agame so, we play as much as possible. thanks for the interest, Shawn, St. Louis, MO. &&&&&&&&& Subject : Ella Hey Roger, This is Mary, my boyfriend Shawn and our two great danes Jake and Ella recently visited you. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to talk to us and let us visit with you, the horse, and Ella's other family. It was great I really enjoyed it. It was interesting to see the other dogs. I tell people the pictures don't do justice to your dogs. Their coloring is fantastic, they look healthy, happy, and big. I used to volunteer for a local rescue group and have seen quite a few danes. Yours are exceptional. If you have someone in the St. Louis area interested in one of your dogs, I'd be happy to talk to them. I'm not that great with the computer so I'll try to send you some pictures of Ella through the mail. Hope all is well in your corner of the world.

I'm sorry I haven't kept you up to date on Charlie, the puppy my husband and I bought from you. As you know we made the 13 hour drive from Wisconsin to pick him up. He has been a perfect addition to our home, ever since we brought him home. He is our 'baby' and everyone refers to him as if he was our child. He has an amazing temperament and has become very vocal of late. In the beginning, I was worried because he was so laid back and friendly. I felt like he wouldn't be a very good protector, but as he's getting older, and bigger, he has become more confident. He barks at strangers, but not in a threatening way. He would never bite anyone, but he lets them know he's there and he sees them. He's 'woof's' quite a bit, as well. We love him so much, and he is such a huge part of our lives. He also loves us beyond belief. We can't go anywhere in the house without him following, and when we come home, even if we've only been gone a couple of minutes, he is so excited to see us he is quivering and whining. We are also impressed with how quickly he learned and picked up on things. He was almost immediately potty trained and knows a lot of tricks. He walks so well on a leash and we can let him run around in the park and at the dog park without worrying about him running away or not listening. My husband and I love Charlie so much! Thanks so much for your time. Amanda, Wisconsin ****************** My husband and I are looking for a fawn colored female. You puppies are so cute. We have a black male named Cooper about 7mo old. We are looking to add another dane to our family. I was wondering if you would take payments and if you so do you deal with shipping at all. We live in Wisconsin. Please let me know. Justin & Fritzi,Wisconsin HELLO ROGER WHITE, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INFORMATION. YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT SHIPPING A DOG PLUS IT WOULD PROBABLY BE BETTER IF WE CAME TO PICK OUT THE FAWN PUPPY OUR SELVES. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE LITTLE FEMALE FAWN BEFORE I PURCHASE HER. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE PLANNING TO COME TO MISSOURI SOMETIME THIS MONTH TO SEE THE PUPPIES. I'M NOT SURE IF I TOLD YOU WHICH ONES WE WERE INTERESTED IN BUT ITS ONE OF THE FEMALE FAWNS. COULD YOU GIVE US DIRECTIONS OR AT LEAST YOUR FULL ADDRESS SO I COULD GET DIRECTIONS FROM ON LINE. JUSTIN AND I ARE COMING FROM WISCONSIN RAPIDS, WI... WAY UP NORT'! IT WILL PROBABLY BE A WEEKEND IN JUNE IF THAT IS OKAY WITH YOU. YOUR WEB SITE IS GREAT BY THE WAY. IT WAS NEAT TO SEE ALL THAT YOU DO FOR YOUR DOGS. THAT IS IMPORTANT TO US EVEN IF WE ARE JUST PURCHASING FOR A HOUSE PET. WOULD YOU MIND IF WE BROUGHT OUR GREAT DANE WITH. HE IS VERY GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS... HIS NAME IS COOPER. HE LIKES TO TRAVEL WITH US. HE IS ONLY 7MO OLD, BUT IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE IDEA LET US KNOW AND I WILL MAKE SURE WE GET A SITTER. ONE QUESTION HOW OLD ARE THE FEMALE FAWNS? IF I HAVE ANYMORE QUESTIONS I WILL BE SURE TO GIVE YOU A CALL OR E-MAIL YOU. WE'LL LET YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT DAY WE'LL BE TRAVELING. I BELIEVE ITS ONLY AND 11 HOUR DRIVE ONE WAY... THAT SHOULDN'T BE TOO BAD. THANKS AGAIN JUSTIN AND FRITZI, Wisconsin ****************** Good Morning! Wow. I can't tell you how great it is having found your ad in the Chicago Trib today (being mom's day and all). My husband and I spent some time just looking at all the neat links and pics. Thank you. We currenlty have a 3 yr old Boxer, 92# & her ears aren't cropped either, named Tessa, having had lost our other dog to the complications of old age earlier this year. It has been hard, but I think we are ready to move on (besides, it is way too quiet around here now). I am looking for another female, but really would only want a friend-in other words, no showing or breeding. Do you have any pups currently, or coming up, that would potentially fit with us? I know you say to call, but when is the best time to do that? THank you again, Terry Olmstead Freeport, Il. (wemotko@XXXXXXXXXXXX.com) **************** Message: I'M SORRY THAT I AM NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR PUPS, ALTHOUGH THEY LOOK SO PRECIOUS! I AM JUST COMMENDING YOU ON HOW YOU RAISE THEM! ITS SAD TO SAY THAT MOST DO NOT!!! SOME RAISE, AND BREED DOGS IN THE MOST ATROCIOUS CONDITIONS! IT JUST SICKENS ME!! IT ALSO SICKENS ME ON HOW PEOPLE TREAT SOME ANIMALS ONCE THEY DO GET THEM, EVEN AFTER PAYING LOTS OF MONEY! I AM JUST SO GLAD WHEN I SEE GOOD BREEDERS! GOOD LUCK W/ YOUR PUPS! Thank you for your appreciation. I try to communicate to people not to buy puppy mill puppies but they look at a $ value now not what the dog will cost them. I charge enough most of mine go to good homes, please check out my testimonial page on my website. Even my Momma dogs retire before 6 yrs of age & go w/ all kinds of goodies! If I can offer any assistance please let me know! Roger White 417.267.3498 thank you for offering your assistance. i breed german shepherds part-time. i am a vet tech. i just recently bought a female from this lady, and the dog is gorgegous, and so sweet. she is terrified of everything. every little noise, everyone except me, and my dad. she is even scared of my daughter whose has been around alot, and tried to have contact w/ her. i ask the lady if she if anyone has ever abused her which obviously they have. i found out later, that this lady has a puppy mill! she currently has 38 dogs 4 sale on live deals, and their all diffrent breeds. i had NO idea!!! its so sad, and just really upsets me! does the humane society oppose this type of thing? there is this one dude from cave city, ky also that breeds german shepherds, and he is on live deals too! he breeds at like 1 year old, every heat cycle, breeds until they can't regardless of age. he know NOTHING about the breed itself, or dogs in general! it is appaulling! i just wish there is something that could be done when animals are negected, and abused like this! he also has his puppies on tie-outs, and calls it "tie-out training" !! ANYWAY, i always am thrilled when i see people that actually deserve the animals they have!!! thanks, Kimberly XXXX Lyons, Kentucky ****************** Hello, I have been admiring your brindle puppies and was wondering about the pricing? I would also probably have to have them flown to the nearest airport because I believe you are quite a distance from me. I seem to remember somewhere that you were. At this time I have not decided about female or male so please let me know about both. I'm am not looking for show dogs. I do want the dog to be correct and to standard but it will be just a member of the family not going to shows. I live in MA and the nearest airports are in Hartford CT and Boston MA. If you are within a few hours travel I would like to come see them, but I do believe you are many states away and with a 5 year old travel at this time is too much. We currently have a Newfoundland dog which is a gentle loving bear and gets along with anything. Does the Great Danes have the same temperment, or would it have problems with another dog? Thanks for all your time and thanks for having me on your email. I love the pictures and your site is great Sincerely; Wesley and Linda, Mass. ****************** The Following is a minimally edited version, (for privacy concerns & ease of reading) of several communiqués regarding Roxy's OFA hip results between my Veterinarian, Crystal from Florida (Please note: she does not have any credentials, website, phone numbers and nobody affiliates themselves with her but here are her comments), Also note: She is not associated to me or anybody I know and despite her suggestions she is NOT affiliatated with anybody from www.GreatDaneLady.com & definitely not affiliated with myself. Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2007 From: Crystal Hello Roger, I was not sure if you were aware of this But if your female is due to come into heat it will through a false Hip report. I saw Roxy has Mild Hip Dysplasia and that is Genetic, it will pass on to her pups. OFA states that the female hips need to be done 3 months before heat, 3 months after weaning and Never while Pregnant. I would recommend doing her hips again after she has weaned. If it still comes back as dysplastic I would have her fixed or it will come back to haunt you. Just friendly advise. &&&&& From: Crystal Hi Roger She has a realy good Bloodline with alot of the same dogs as my girl. When I had her hips done at 15 months we saw her exrays and they looked perfect - considering we have had 3 dogs with Hip-dysplasia we know what to look for. We were shocked when we got her prelim test back and she was rated a fair. We had them redone along with her thyroid and heart but have not gotten them back yet. I know there are things that will through a test off. For instance, When she was 15 months her thyroid was also done and she was normal but when it was redone on feb 28 07 she had a infection from her pulling her stitches out and it came back as her being Hypothyroid " That is not good ". I waited 2 weeks for her to heal up and we redid the thyroid, Our vet thought we were crazy even after telling her that an infection would give a false reading. She redid the test and it is NORMAL and since it was done through the same Antech lab OFA Accepted it and replaced it with the new test result. As far as the hips go I would do them again. And if by some chance she does have bad hips that would be the fault of the careless breeders before you, seeing she is out of Champ Grand parents. I have found in all my research a few Champs with Hip dysplasia so dont go based on them being champs. If only all breeders would health test people like you and me would not end up with loved pets like this. *Read More* Hormonal Effect Some female dogs show subluxation when radiographed around an estrus cycle which is not apparent when reradiographed in anestrus. The OFA recommends radiographing 3-4 weeks before a heat period or 3-5 weeks after weaning a litter of pups. &&&&& From: Me to my Vet Sent: Thu, 29 Mar 2007 9:37 AM Subject: Hormonal cycle affects OFA X-rays Hi Doc: The following note came from a lady that suggests I have Roxy's hips redone due to her being in heat at time of X-rays that should not have been done due to her cycle's timing. Let me know what you think. She has a link for more information. Roger &&&&& From: *My Vet* Sent:Mon 4/02/07 2:21 PM Hi Roger. Yeah, I think this is legitimate to some degree. It only serves to reason that hip laxity would vary based on the stage of hormonal cycle. I'll be happy to humor you and repeat Roxy's hip studies. I would be interested to see the results myself too. Dr. Ellen (*my Vet)
