Girls rule
Meet the babes-
We are the babes behind the operation! My name is Tabitha and my daughter's name is Rylee. We are located in Camarillo CA. We have a big passion & love for animals that we decided to make it our jobs. We grew up and have worked with many animals but baby animals are our favs of course. We have a cat named Loki, a lizard named Meechee, and of course all the Danes! If you want to learn more, see puppies, and follow our journey to bettering the breed, follow us on our social medias down below at the bottom!
A breeder is a guardian of the future
Who we are as breeders
We strive to be the best breeders we can be. We make sure that all our puppies are set up to succeed, before going home! Puppies start with us at the most important stages, so we take advantage of that and start ENS/ESI (early neurological exercises ), Sounds, Smells, Touch, See, ect. We also start early curriculum exercises, and early basic training/socialization. Picking a breeder is so important, it's a pack union for life. A breeder should be the foundation of not only a great dog, but a amazing legacy.
What Questions Do I Ask For A Breeder,
To Know They Are A Good Breeder?
Do you Health Test?
Yes, All of our breeding dogs are fully OFA health tested, including hips, thyroid, eyes, heart, and more.
Why Are You A Breeder?
I was a vet tech for a several years, and saw firsthand the health and mental issues caused by poor breeding. that experience itself led me to pursue breeding with intention, focusing on health, structure, temperament, and working ability. We believe thoughtful, responsible breeding makes a lasting difference.
How do you Raise your litter?
Our puppies are raised in home, with ENS/ESI, early training, and structured socialization to build confident, stable temperaments before they go home.
What support do I get After receiving the Pup?
Babes & Danes is a Pack, a Union! We provide Breeder support, Training Support, Nutrition Support, Anything you might need help with when it comes to an animal or Great Dane we are here for life, and have a lot of knowledge and guidance.
Do you have a contract?
We do!
In our Contract, it lets you know that one, the puppies are health checked/guarantee. That we will always be here for you, always take the pup back if need be, when to Spay/Neuter and all the necessary Great Dane info you may need!
Can Anybody buy one of your dogs?
No, we carefully screen each person. We want the best fit for our dogs, and visa versa, that will last a lifetime, so we will definitely deny if we think it's not the right fit.
When can the puppies go home?
Puppies can go home starting at 9 weeks old, after proper development and evaluation.
How Many Females do you breed at once?
We focuses only on one maybe two max litters at a time. Meaning we only have 1-2 females breeding, to make sure we have quality time with each pup! We are not and will never be a Puppy Mill!
How old are your dogs before retiring?
We make sure that health is number one, so many factors are put into play when it comes to this question.
- If the Female isn't a good mom, she will retire that litter.
- If they have complications, and don't snap back from litters, she will retire.
- Males, if they don't have good healthy sperm, they will retire.
- If they are healthy, and everything is fine, we retire females at age 5-6 or 4-5 litters. Males we Retire age 7-9 years old.
Do you compete in sports and conformation?
Yes, we do actively show/sport, and test for titles to their best abilities.
Do you have references?
Absolutely we do! We stay in contact with all of our past puppy parents, so if you need to talk to any of them about their experience, we are please to connect you at any time.
Why should I pick you as a breeder?
We are committed to this breed! We try our best to do right by them, with health, structure, working ability, and purpose. We raise all of our puppies with such a head start in life before even going home, and go above and beyond with all the love we have!
