Bringing Home a Southern Pines Family Dane

Adding a Great Dane to your family is a big decision, and we’re here to make the process feel simple, transparent, and exciting from start to finish.

Here’s what you can expect when you work with us.

Step 1: Submit an Application

The first step is completing our puppy application.

This allows us to:

  • Learn about your home and lifestyle

  • Understand what you're looking for in a puppy

  • Ensure the right fit for both your family and ours

We take placement seriously and review every application with care.

Step 2: Application Review & Conversation

After we receive your application:

  • We carefully review your information

  • We may schedule a brief phone call

  • We answer any questions you have

Our goal is not just approval, but confidence on both sides.

Once approved, you’ll be invited to place a deposit to reserve your spot.

Step 3: Secure Your Reservation

An approved deposit:

  • Reserves your place in the litter

  • Is applied toward your puppy’s total price

  • Determines selection order

We maintain clear communication throughout the process so you always know where you stand.

Step 4: Puppy Selection

Puppy selection typically takes place around 1-2 weeks of age.

Puppy selection begins once the litter is approximately 1–2 weeks old and we have confirmed that all puppies are stable, nursing well, and thriving.

Families are organized based on:

  • Deposit date

  • Gender preference

  • Color preference

We carefully track your preferences and communicate clearly as the litter develops.

Because we begin the selection process early, families have clarity and security from the start. As the puppies grow, we continue monitoring temperament, structure, and development to ensure each placement remains a strong fit.

If needed, we provide guidance throughout the process to help families feel confident in their choice.

Our priority is healthy puppies and well-matched homes.

Step 5: Preparing for Go-Home Day

Before your puppy joins your family, they receive:

  • Age-appropriate vaccinations

  • Deworming

  • Microchipping

  • Health record documentation

Each puppy goes home with:

  • A four-year health guarantee

  • A detailed contract

  • Care information and guidance

  • Lifetime breeder support

We are committed to every puppy we raise for life.

Step 6: Pickup or Delivery

You may:

  • Pick up your puppy in person

  • Discuss available transport options

We prioritize safe, low-stress travel and clear coordination.
