Welcome to Daneridge Great Danes

UPDATES

My first Great Dane was a fawn, Gowindane's Princess Camille sired byCh. Talbot's Mr. Chips. Camille was born Aug. 24, 1958. Chips was ownedand bred by Marie Talbot. This started me out in obedience. I bredCamille once and her grand daughter, Ch. Caspers Sheba of Daneridge,was my first Fawn Champion.

In 1970 I bred Ch. Koto'sBaccarat who was myfirst champion harlequin. To date I have bred, owned or co-owned 50champions. This has been a hobby for me as well as my daughters whobecame top junior handlers. They went on to become professionalhandlers, later retiring to have their families. My daughter Tricia has recently come back to professionally handling again I am happy to say.

I am a member of the GreatDane Club ofCalifornia and the Great Dane Club of America, and Past President of all breed TKC.

I judge Great Danes, Boxers & Junior Showmenship, and continuing to pursue my license inadditional working and sporting breeds. I was licensed by the AmericanKennel Club as an All-breed handler in the early 70's. All thisoccurred while raising a family and working as an Engineering Managerat some of the top government companies: JPL, Data Products, LittonInd, Teledyne Elec. Fairchild, & TRW.
