In 1994 I got my first dane "Grady",a large harl male. From there the love for the breed grew. Then the show bug bit me in 1996. I bought my first bitch,a color pure fawn and bred her to a large male that had produced several champions. From that litter I got one bitch, "Morgan LeFay". Then I purchased my first show male,"Franklyn", from breeder/judge Ms.Nikki Riggsbee. He was handled by Ms.Linda Springthorpe and completed his championship in thirteen months. He has sired several litters and has pointed get in the ring. We strive to improve the breed with every breeding.
In the winter of 2000 I met Anita Matthews at a show in Winston-Salem, NC. She was there with her mantle.Being new to the show world she was full of questions.We talked for awhile exchanged e-mail address and went our separtate ways.We e-mailed and IM each other for months talking about danes and our goals for our breeding programs.Things just really clicked between us.In the spring of 2001 we met up again at the Raleigh,NC shows.Before the shows were over we knew we were in love. So in the summer of 2001 I moved to the lowcountry of SC,where together we share a common goal and love for the Great Dane.
