Rehoming ADULT ARR Greatest of DANES
In our 18-19 years of breeding Great Danes we have chosen to keep most of our retired “dane kids”. If you do have one of our adopted adult danes, you are very fortunate because they are a rarity. Most have spent a wonderful post breeding life, running and playing here on the Ranch.
But along with the maturation and aging of Allen’s Ridge Ranch, we realize that we are aging also and the last period of time has been greatly changed by an altering cancer diagnosis. This past 1.5 years have resulted in many, many surgeries. Life changes have demonstrated health issues that seem to create impossibilities to continue nurturing our retired babies through their remaining years. In the last couple years, we have downsized the farm animals to more manageable level.
So now, we sadly are looking for a few perfect families to match with our retired danes. We are picky and very selective. These amazing danes who truly are our family members and their adoptions will be handled like placing a child! And like children, they are each unique with different personalities, traits, likes and dislikes and needs. They all are up to date on rabies shot, yearly vaccines and kennel cough prevention.
At first they may be shy and timid and will need some time to decompress, and bond to the new home and family before accepting excited affection and energy. Remember they have lived with us the majority of their lives. Once they have had time to become bonded with your family, they will be much a people pleaser personality.. and think they fit on your lap while lounging on your sofa!!
We really prefer that you have large breed dog experience and a fenced in yard and spend most of your time at home. They will be on a spay/neuter contract.

Fergie…..Lilac (AKC Silver) Great Dane
Breeding for lilac tanpoints is the hardest color to obtain. That is because a lilac tp baby must get 2 of the 3 genes of blue, chocolate, and tanpoint … (one of each from each parent). And there cannot be any black gene. You may have blue or choc parents but they won’t necessarily give all required 3 genes to a pup. So you are lucky if you get one lilac tanpoint in a litter. That is what you usually get from non lilac but genetic carrier parents. Fergie is the second ever known Lilac (Silver) Tanpoint female dane. And the first was born just 10 hours before Fergie! She is AKC registered. She has been a loving, intricate family member here at ARR. Always such a dedicated, gentle momma to her little ones. We were so blessed to have the genetics work in our favor. She was the last to be born in the litter on a Thanksgiving night. I was feeling so sad that no silver tanpoint was born.. I can even admit disappointed.. I took her mom out for a bathroom break many hours since the last pup was born … and there Fergie was, born on the ground on a cool night. I swooped up this prescious gift and in the porch light realized what she was. A special gift indeed! So now her phenomenal breeding career is over and she is waiting for her perfect family to spoil her to pieces in her retirement years. We know that you will cherish her as much as we do. She will be on a spay contract. Messag 864-884-6688.

She is spayed.
