CHROMADANE averages only a litter a
year--typically with summer puppies. So if you want to start a dialogue, book in early with CHROMA, we are always
working on a reservation listing for future litters. We also have the occassional stud dog litter from one of our
boys we can recommend. And we are happy to refer you to others we know with potential pups available--just email
us? We also support rescue & Dane adoption, working with Great Dane Rescue of El Paso closely.
Email JP Yousha for more information.

CHROMADANE: WORKING
TYPE IN BLACK & WHITE
ALL ChromaPups undergo a thorough evaluation for type,
structure, temperament & talents, and are matched to new homes carefully. Show prospects typically restricted
to co-ownership. For those seeking performance prospects an analysis of structure, temperament and other necessary
working traits for potential competition homes is offered. Quality companion homes are given the same priority
as show/working homes. A private family online group with experienced trainers/handlers is available to those new
to dog sports &/or the breed. To see more of our policies & philosophy, click here.

 CHROMADANE: WORKING TYPE IN BLACK & WHITE
We are very serious about producing a working-style
Dane, a dog that is structurally secure, mentally able, and correct in type: a Dane that can endure, oblige and
look beautiful while doing it. We breed a "dual-ring" & "heirloom"
Dane--like the estate dogs of old. Dogs of classic type. Dogs who behave in public. Dogs who can live OFF the leash
with grace and aplomb. Dogs who are good with other animals & generally smart and benevolent. Dogs who are
innately empathic and intuitive with people. Dogs who can live a healthy decade offering companionship that is
both low-maintenance & high in the happiness factor. Dogs who can also compete and win in various venues. All
our Danes are all shown,
trialed, titled & certified. We welcome those who would share our "take" on the breed!

If interested in our litters, please read our "Policies & Procedures" page before
emailing/calling us. Do please "call ahead" as we want the time to get to know each other before the
process of picking puppies begins. Plus we tend to have such a waiting list, by the time the pups are here....they
are gone.
We are also happy to provide information on rescue and breeder referral
to the best of our ability. Some links to help you below. Please scroll down for information on our puppies, stud
dogs & brood bitches.**Thank you.**

If you would like to talk to us
about our waiting list & your "wish puppy" please feel free to contact us. All our dogs are OFA hip, thyroid, & heart checked (& more). To read
more about our kennel policies & procedures, click
here. To read more about individual dogs click here. We
happily provide breeder referral to the best of our ability.
We will provde details
of upcoming breedings to interested parties, but do not always provide a publically available page for each such
prospective breeding as it simply generates too much traffic via the website to then adequately manage. So please
feel free to contact us
if you want to inquire about future litters. Thank you.
We've been doing "Vollard-style"
temperament testing on
our puppies (bought, bred, etc.) since the 1970s. And we've done a "point system" structural analysis
"ala Pat Hastings" on all our litters (as taught to us first while in Germany). We also have breed type
assessed in a formal manner. Each of these sorts of evaluations covers a different area (type, structure, temperament)
essentially, and all are useful tools. A successful breeder's eye on the pups routinely, plus the expert assessment
of other successful breeders, is also important. For us, all such analyses "go in the hopper" as part
of a careful evaluation of young pups & these evaluations are made available to buyers. We also rear our whelps
in a pack & family situation (i.e not in a kennel & dam/whelps not isolated from our other dogs), choose
to not force/early wean, & apply such enrichment programs as "raising high achievers" to help produce sound & stable puppies. To read more about our kennel
policies & procedures,

overview of all produce/get is organized and made
available to potential buyers as part of our comprehensive approach to breeding. Limited (nonbreeding) dogs from our breeding program routinely participate in competiton,
work and health data assessment. Littermates, after all, do matter as to the genetic inheritance potential of the
related individuals chosen for breeding.

CHROMADANE: WORKING
TYPE IN BLACK & WHITE
The name "CHROMADANE" & OUR MOTTO: People often wonder where
the kennel name came from. Like many of the names chosen for our individual dogs, it's a double entendre. CHROMA
means "colored" (as well as purity/intensity) & we breed specifically spotted, or "colored"
Danes. Chromosomes literally means "colored bodies" & since we emphasize genetic health in our breeding
program, the idea of "spotty bodies" also implies we never forget about the unseen genetics of the thing.
To touch a spotted dog is traditionally thought to bring luck; we feel we've been blessed with our spotty bodies
& never want to forget that their general wonderfulness is how we ended up here in the first place. We breed
for a whole working dog--not exclusively a conformation animal, and exhibit ("show") as part of our assessment
of bloodstock--not as the reason for breeding it. Although we didn't originate this idea, we did pretty much coin
this term, the working-style Dane, and were in fact one of the first Dane kennels to articulate this as a breeding
program concept, & have been a pioneer of the practice of selecting breeding stock only that passed certification/titling
level examinations in all three arenas (of conformation, peformance and health). To that end, we are active trainers
and handlers, & we keep ourselves up to date on genetics, animal husbandry and other aspects of breeding &
training dogs: it's continuing education for a lifetime to do right by dogs if you are breeding them. We feel our
"take" on Danes is distinctive & the "look and feel" of our dogs is signature.
