A Passion for Gentle Giants
Our Love of Exceptional Great Danes, Shared With You
Welcome to Bravohaus Danes!
We are the Bravo family, and our home is dedicated to the stewardship of one of the world's most noble breeds: the European Great Dane. For us, this is more than a breeding program; it is a deep-seated passion for raising majestic, gentle-natured dogs that embody the health, temperament, and true-to-type conformation that these "Apollo of Dogs" are celebrated for.
Our mission is to place healthy, well-socialized, and structurally sound Great Dane puppies into loving, forever homes where they will be cherished as integral members of the family.
Our Philosophy: Health and Temperament Above All
We believe that a truly magnificent Great Dane is defined not just by its impressive stature, but by its robust health and gentle, loving heart. Finding the perfect family for each of our puppies is our highest priority. We focus on foundational health, stable temperament, and correct structure to ensure every puppy we raise is a shining example of the breed's best qualities.
A Passion for the European Standard
We are devoted to the European Great Dane, renowned for its substantial bone, broad head, large size, and calm, confident demeanor. We carefully select our breeding stock from esteemed European lineages, prioritizing health clearances, longevity in pedigrees, and, most importantly, the classic gentle temperament that makes them exceptional family companions.
Raised in Our Home, For Yours
Our puppies are raised underfoot with our family. From their first breath, they are part of our family life, surrounded by the normal sights and sounds of a busy household. This constant, loving interaction creates puppies that are confident, well-socialized, and ready to become calm, well-behaved members of their new families.
A Commitment to Transparency
We believe an informed owner is the best owner. We provide a completely transparent look into our breeding program, our adult dogs, and each puppy's development. We are always available to answer your questions honestly and provide a lifetime of support for every dog we place.
Our Commitment to Quality: Foundational Care & Health
Raising a giant breed responsibly requires an unwavering commitment to health and development from the very beginning. Our comprehensive program ensures every puppy leaves our care with the best possible start for a long, healthy, and happy life.
- Early Development & Handling: We follow proven puppy-rearing protocols like Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) to promote resilience and a strong start. Daily gentle handling and exposure to new textures and sounds in a safe environment build a puppy's confidence for the future.
- Thoughtful Socialization: Our puppies interact with our children, our adult Danes, and our livestock in carefully supervised settings. This teaches them crucial social skills and bite inhibition, ensuring they grow into gentle, dependable companions who understand their own size and strength.
- Parental Health Screening: Our commitment to health is uncompromising. All of our breeding dogs are fully health tested according to the recommendations of the Great Dane Club of America, including health and genetic screenings relevant to the breed.
- Comprehensive Health Care: Before going to their new homes, every puppy receives their first set of vaccinations and are dewormed according to a veterinarian-approved protocol. You will receive a complete health record and guarantee for your puppy.
We invest so much in these foundational weeks because we know the result is a Great Dane that is not only physically impressive but also mentally and emotionally sound. Our pups are true gentle giants ready to become your family's most loyal protector and friend.
