 
Hello, we are located in central
California which is a short distance from Yosemite National Park. We have
a nice little "ole rancho" that is filled with all types of critters.
One of my main joy was having
my AKC 16 year old Dane (Sampson Sir Riley) live with me for 16 years. He
passed on to wait for me to join him, March 28, 2003.
We currently showed our Dane
Nat/Int Ch "Sir Samuel de Suenos" who has finished his title and is retired
from the show ring along with Nat/Int Ch "Winterlochen Divine Dream". We
are consistently winning in the show rings in California. Our Up and coming
Star Bitch and Dog are JGD Dreamers Queen Drena
and JGD Dreamers King Drako who are both from our own Nat/Int
CH Winterlochen Divine Dream aka "Dreamer." Dreamer is known for her movement
and soundness along with her sweet disposition! I train all of our Show Danes
and also train for others. Nat/Int Ch Gilhams JGD Mystic in Motion, "Misty"
and Int/CH Wolkes JGD Incandescent Dayla are two
of our other winning Great Dane bitches.
Nat/Int Ch Fyrehouse JGD
Smokin Cinder (Dalmatian) has been doing awesome in showing!
Watch in the ring for Int/CH
"Backachers Fast N Furious" (Falco) & INT/CH Leelands JGD Law N
Order (Justice) our German Shepherds.
I have been involved in animals
all of my life having been raised on a ranch in California with Danes, Dobermans,
German Shepherds, horses, pigs and all farm life. From working on a large
horse operation to assisting vets, I have had a lot of hands-on experience
with all types of animals.
I was showing Dobermans back
in the 1980s until entering law enforcement which, unfortunately, demanded
all of my time. After being injured in the line of duty, I have been forced
to medically retire. Now, with extra time on my hands what better to do than
show and raise high quality Great Danes.
We love our Danes. They are
our children and share everything with us.There are times, though, that we
have difficulty finding sitting room in the living area of our home as all
the couches are taken (by our Danes of course!).
We do have a strict contract
that covers the placing of our puppies. We not only care where they go but,
how they are cared for their entire lives. All puppies have their dew-claws
removed, receive age-appropriate shots and are wormed by a licensed
veterinarian/tech. All of our puppies are vet-checked before leaving our
home. We crop our Great Danes ears and this is optional for puppy buyers
if they desire cropped or to be left natural. We "imprint" all of our animals
starting at an early age, resulting in the puppies being used to all the
new things in life such as children, noise, touch, etc.
We also inform all new owners
of the feeding requirements of the Great Dane and work closely with the buyer
throughout the life of the dog. Responsibility is required with such a noble,
loving breed. We breed only to achieve the correct Dane; Health, Confirmation
and Temperament and longevity in the pedigree. Feeding and proper care for
a Dane is vitally important. I did use herbs and natural supplements to attain
Sams' 16 years! He received massage therapy and essential oils. We must be
doing something right as we also have a 42 year old Quarter/Morgan horse
"Chico" and a 17 year old AKC Doberman Spayed Bitch that was whelped from
a breeding I did from my bitch "Romarhaven First Star" (call name - Precious).
(JD my 17 year old Dobie bitch passed on) Sept 14, 2004.
We train and handle (showing)
all breeds. Specializing in Great Danes, Dalmatians, German Shepherds, Dobermans
and Pomeranians. We train for Confirmation Shows and for home obedience along
with being available for private lessons. Training is vital. It is important
to have a well trained socialized animal as well as it being well bred for
confirmation and health.
The list goes on for our older
critters here at the rancho. Throughout the years I have been fondly called
Miss Ellymay. Love is in abundance at our ranch and you can see it through
all of our creatures we have been blessed to have.
Sincerely,
Jolene and Staff, The Dalmatian
Gang, The Dane Posse and The German Shepherd Squad, JGD Great Danes, JGD
Dalmatians, JGD German Shepherds.
