Our breeding program:

Eric and I strive for health, longevity and excellent temperament in our danes. The first part of our breeding program is the hours, weeks, months and years that go into a planned breeding. We do not just breed for puppies. We are breeding in the hopes of bettering the breed and generally will always keep a puppy back out of our breeding. After we have done all of our research on the genetic and physical aspects, its time to do the OFA and the thyroid testing. If their has been problems in the past with cardio or eye's we will do the cardio testing and eye surfs before breeding. We normally use a stud from an outside source whether the sir is overseas or four state away. By using Artificial Insemination your opinions for a better sir come to life. For example there might be a male that would work perfectly with the pedigree and genetics that your working with but the dog died of old age 5 years ago. It is still possible to breed to this dog via froze semen. After the breeding has taken place, Stuhr Great Danes will do a ultrasound at day 28 to verify puppies. Then at day 54 we will do an x-ray to  make sure everything is going normally. Puppies are generally due at day 60-63 depending on what type of breeding took place (froze AI/natural). 

Purchasing a Stuhr Great Dane:

Below is some general information on our Stuhr Great Danes Puppies!

• If you are interested in a Stuhr Great Dane before the puppies are born we will gladly put your name on a list. This does not ensure that you will receive a Stuhr Great Dane puppy. Due to the overwhelming demand for Stuhr Great Danes only after a deposit has been taken will you be ensured a puppy.
• Stuhr Great Danes will start taking deposits on a litter after the puppies have been born. If you would like to place a deposit before the puppies are born we will only do so upon request with a refundable deposit. This means that in the event that the breeding did not take or their is not an available puppy that your deposit will be refunded.
• Stuhr Great Danes will gladly have your puppy cropped by our veterinarian. We crop at 7 weeks or 9 weeks depending on the weight of your puppy. The price for an ear crop in 200.00 that is not included in the price of the puppy. Depending on the age when crop the puppy will stay with Stuhr Great Danes until the stitches have been removed and the ear have healed to prevent infection in the ear. All puppies left natural will be able to go to their new homes at eight weeks. No Stuhr Great Dane puppy will go home before eight weeks. If you already have a vet to crop the puppy's ear please contact Stuhr Great Danes to make prior arrangements.

What  Stuhr Great Danes expects from our buyers:

• If your are interested in a Stuhr Great Dane puppy we ask that you contact us to fill out a puppy inquiry and receive a copy of our contract to look over before buying a puppy. That way if there is any questions we can start off on the right foot to ensure the puppy will have a wonderful long life with his/her new family.
• All Stuhr Great Danes are sold with AKC full or limited registration We do not allow any of our danes to be registered with the UKC. Hopefully this will prevents puppy mills from purchasing our danes.
• We prefer to sell to buyers that have a fenced in yard with room for the puppy to get daily exercise and attention. 
• Danes are not outside pets. No Stuhr Great Dane is an outside dog and we will not sell our kids to this type of home. We think of our dane as our children and hope that our buyers will as well.
• If due to circumstances beyond the buyers control the Stuhr Great Dane  puppy has to be given up. The puppy must come back to Stuhr Great Danes.
