Welcome to

Great Danes of the Lighthouse.

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 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 bred Great Dane, with much more bone and head, Enno and Eycke turned a few heads, when we went shopping or just for a walk.  Please click on their picture to see a slide show of our "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 now is outgoing, loves to visit strangers when shopping, and loves to cuddle up to us at night.

Merlin was the next addition to the Lighthouse gang. He is 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 Chris and Patrick, who love 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.
