Maybe your next family member is waiting here for you.

Great Danes of the Lighthouse began with a deep love for these gentle giants. Our first Great Dane was Adrian, a big fawn boy. Gentle on one hand, but very protective of his family, awesome disposition and manners. Sadly, he passed away after bloat surgery when he was only 4 1/2 years old. For the longest time, we were unable to look at any Great Dane.

But, if you ever shared your home with a Great Dane, it is a love that will never end.

We finally decided to go back to the origin of the Great Dane, Germany, and imported our lovable dogs Eycke and Enno vom Siebengebirge. Though quite different in the looks compared to the American Great Dane, with much more bone and head, Enno and Eycke are turning heads, when out shopping or just for a walk. Below are some pictures of their "Dog Life on the Farm".

 

And our Dane family grew. The next to join our family was Maike. She was a shy, 12 week old Great Dane from a small breeder in the USA. She is still a bit reserved towards strangers, but energetic and forward, once she gets to know you.

The next addition was Diva, a very diva-like lady from Great Britain. She came into our life, since she did not want to perform in the show ring for her previous owner. We did not care and promised her a good home. She was outgoing, loved to visit strangers when shopping, and loved to cuddle up to us at night. Sadly our lady left us in November 2008 due to Blastomycosis.

Merlin was the next addition to the Lighthouse gang. He was looking for a forever home after his owner passed away. Since we cannot say "NO" to sad eyes, he found his temporary home with us. He found a great home with Patrick, who loves him dearly.

Yes, it can get a bit crazy around here, especially when the whole gang storms up the steps to say "Hello". But after everybody received their hugs, everyone finds a spot to do, what our Great Danes do best, "hang out".

Our dogs and puppies are raised within our home and family. They are socialized from the moment they are born until they are ready to join their new family. All of our family members have an excellent disposition, are loyal and make a great addition to any dog loving home.

The reason for importing our family members was to go back to the original look of the Great Dane. Enno is just the prime example. We love the jowls, big head, lots of bone and chest. He might not prance around like Merlin, but he has a presence about him.

If you are interested in one of our puppies, please fill out our Puppy Application. We will contact you, as soon as the application has been reviewed. But, if you are looking for a puppy with cropped ears, please look elsewhere. We will not allow that one of our kids undergoes an unnecessary and cruel cosmetic alteration. Sadly, one of our pups a stud dog owner received as part of the stud fee, was cropped without our knowledge and against the verbal assurance by the stud dog owner. We will not post any pictures of this puppy and have cut all ties to this breeder.

Please be informed that our dogs and our efforts represent generations of European-bred Great Danes with several notable titles and significant attributes relative to good health through efforts of dedicated testing and analysis.  It is for this reason that we ask that you not contact us if you are looking for a "cheap" or "free" Great Dane.

Now that you know more about us, meet our Lighthouse gang. Please be patient, some pages take time to load.
