It's been many, many years but we are finally expecting a litter here at Casa Symmetry. One of the original reasons I started this blog was to document what it's like to live with Great Danes, and also to document what it's like to be a Dane breeder, to let people know what goes into this.
Our breeding plans have hit roadblocks for a variety of reasons, but finally we have been successful!
This is Ellie's first litter, although we did breed her last January using frozen semen from Keeper, a dog born in our last litter. Unfortunately that didn't work.
So this time we picked a gorgeous young dog so we were able to do a natural breeding. He's a wonderful dog who belongs to people in Louisiana, but at the time we needed to do the breeding he was at a show in Kansas. So I drove up there with Ellie, and we were successful!!
To say we are excited is an understatement. This should be a very special litter, since not only are both parents AKC champions, but they have physical traits that really should complement each other.
I may post more about the parents here later, but in the meantime if you want to see pictures, pedigree, health testing info etc you can find them on our website.
In the meantime, Ellie is just baking those pups:
