"We are proud to introduce Gunners, affectionately known as "Gunner." Born on December 25, 2022, this stunning Fawn Brindle Merle male, uniquely marked like a Mantle Merle, embodies the best of the Great Dane breed in both temperament and conformation. Exceptional Temperament Gunner's disposition is truly unparalleled. He possesses an unrivaled sweetness and an intelligent, eager-to-please nature that makes him an absolute joy to live with. He's incredibly well-mannered, showing respect for his environment – he's never chewed anything other than his own toys, and even those he treats with care! Gunner is a true gentle giant, exhibiting a calm and affectionate demeanor with everyone he meets. He's wonderful with children and gets along great with other dogs, displaying a friendly and easygoing nature with strangers. Superb Conformation & Color Potential Gunner boasts excellent conformation, with a powerful yet elegant structure that adheres to breed standards. His striking Fawn and Brindle coat, with its unique Mantle Merle-like markings, indicates a strong potential for producing diverse and beautiful colors in his progeny. His impressive build and movement suggest he will pass on desirable physical traits to his offspring. Robust Genetic Background & Dedicated Health Clearances Gunner has a deeply health-tested lineage. His sire, with AKC DNA, along with his dam, have undergone extensive DNA health testing on both sides of his pedigree, demonstrating a strong commitment to genetic health from his breeders. Gunner himself has received a comprehensive veterinary check-up and has been cleared for breeding by our general veterinarian, confirming his current robust health and excellent physical condition. As Gunner is now over 24 months of age, we are actively pursuing his official Great Dane breed-specific health certifications through the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA). Our commitment includes scheduling and completing: * OFA Hips and Elbows (evaluating for dysplasia) * OFA Cardiac (echocardiogram by a board-certified cardiologist to screen for Dilated Cardiomyopathy - DCM) * OFA Thyroid * OFA Eyes (CAER exam by a board-certified ophthalmologist) * Additionally, we plan to have Gunner himself DNA tested to further complement the extensive genetic testing in his lineage and provide the most complete individual health picture. We believe transparency and thorough health testing are paramount for the breed's future and the well-being of his potential puppies. Why Consider Gunner? For breeders seeking a stud with an outstanding temperament, beautiful conformation, and a robust genetic background with promising potential for color, Gunner offers an exciting opportunity. We invite inquiries from ethical breeders who share our dedication to health, well-being, and improving the Great Dane breed."
