I received my first dane in 2003. A beautiful solid black female. Alley was stunning. I adored her. She was a true guardian and a loyal friend. She started my love for the breed. I did lots of research and found a male who would compliment her nicely. I researched genetics and ethics and everything that had to do with producing high quality, healthy, even tempered pups. I've spent the last 12 years learning and doing everything I can to improve my program. Sadly, I had to help Alley cross the rainbow bridge September 2014. Broke my heart. I buried her with Hoosier, who had passed the year before at almost 10. They will always be in my heart.
