June “June Bug” born 6.6.24 out of Cash and Emmylou, is just precious. Her father (Sire) has imported European Grand Champion bloodlines in his pedigree which are typically on the heavier side. Her mother (Dam) comes from an American line of Great Danes.
She has been exposed to scent work, Early Neurological Stimulation, and Sound desensitization such as cars, traffic, fireworks, thunderstorms, and baby sounds just to name a few and seems to be unphased, confident little puppy.
June is a little spit fire! She has bounds of energy and is always antagonizing her brothers and sisters when they are trying to nap. She is going to need an active family who is familiar with the breed and will set firm boundaries for her.
I have done an introduction to basic obedience training with her including leash manners, crate training, focusing on the handler, come, sit, down, and place. I have tried to instill good manners including waiting at the door, keeping paws on the ground and keeping off the furniture and countertops. I have also taken her out to several busy places for socialization including a dog friendly restaurant and she did fantastic. She is about 99% potty trained only having accidents once in a great while.

FOLLOW MY LEAD’S “GYPSY” Lights up the Night
Gypsy, born 6.6.24 out of Cash & Emmylou is a big mush. She is neck and neck with her brother Carter for the largest puppy in the litter. Her father (Sire) has imported European Grand Champion bloodlines in his pedigree which are typically on the heavier side. Her mother (Dam) comes from an American line of Great Danes. We expect her to be a beautiful, energetic girl with nice structure.
So far Gypsy has been a very outgoing and affectionate puppy. She is always on the go. She has been exposed to scent work, Early Neurological Stimulation, and Sound desensitization such as cars, traffic, fireworks, thunderstorms, and baby sounds just to name a few and seems to be a confident, inquisitive puppy. She is sensitive and sweet and loves all the attention she can get.
I have done an introduction to basic obedience training with her including leash manners, focusing on the handler, come, sit, down, and place. I have also taken her out to several busy places including Lowes and have worked with her in public with greeting practice and she did exceptionally well. I have worked her with my clients dogs and they have always commented how well behaved she is. She is also doing really well with her potty training- she walks to the door when she has to go and has had very few accidents.
She has a lot of similar personality traits as her mom. She is very cuddly and sensitive with short bursts of the zoomies. She loves to have her siblings chase her while she leaves them in the dust! I would call her bashful- she can be a little shy at first but she is so incredibly sweet.

Her obedience is coming along - she is off leash trained and she really enjoys our golf cart runs around the neighborhood.

BY EMMA LOU X CASH HAS BEEN RESERVED FOR OUR BREEDING PROGRAM.
Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) Tactical Stimulation
Our breeding program goal is to create exceptional examples of the Great Dane breed with both health and temperament being our number one priority. With this litter, we are expecting to produce puppies capable of providing assistance work through service dog training and therapy dog training. This requires a very intuitive, confident, and gentle nature and we strongly feel that both the Dam and Sire exhibit these qualities. Puppies temperaments are assessed at 7 weeks old and matched to their forever home based on the objective of the adopter- Service work, Therapy Work, Show Home/Breeder, or wonderful loving family dog.
Puppy Rearing
Our puppies are raised in our family home and training headquarters in sunny Brooksville, FL; ensuring the early socialization exposure that is critical to creating a confident adult dog. We expose them to children, cats, adult men and women, several other adult dogs on our property, along with small animals such as our farmstead chickens, turkeys, and rabbits, and pigs. We live in a beautifully wooded rural area, so we also make it a point to take several short “field trips” to visit with the sights, sounds, and smells of a more urban setting with cars, traffic, and people creating several impactful positive experiences around new things.
From research done by the U.S. Military Canine Program, we know that the period of time between day 3 through 16 is the most crucial window of time for the rapid neurological growth and development in puppies, and therefore is of great importance to the individual.
Documented Benefits of Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS):
Improved cardio vascular performance
Stronger heart beats
Stronger adrenal glands
More tolerance to stress
Greater resistance to disease

EARLY NEUROLOGICAL STIMULATION
PUPPY CULTURE A scientific system created by experts in the field with a very specific timeline to introduce different exercises to enhance cardiac function, the immune system, the adrenaline system, the prevention of behavioral problems, and much more. This system is considered to be the gold standard in puppy raising.
At 7 weeks old, we use The Volhard “Puppy Aptitude Test or “PAT”. The Volhard Test was created by Joachim and Wendy Volhard as a way to test behavioral tendencies and predict what a puppy will be like as an adult also commonly called a “Puppy Temperament Test” or “Puppy Personality Test”. This helps guide us to a more perfect match between the puppy and their new family.
Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test (PAT) At 49 Days, a PAT will be administered by a professional dog trainer to access each puppy’s temperament which will allow us to match them more perfectly with their new owners.
