Things to Know Before Buying Blue Great Dane Puppies
The price of owning a Great Dane may be from anywhere between one hundred to four hundred dollars (not including food and vet bills). Factors that may affect the price of purchasing a Great Dane are the breeder’s reputation, the size of the dog, if it’s a show quality dog if it’s the right dog for you, the sex of the dog, coloring, and age.
Great Danes is a very popular breed with many people wanting to adopt them. Because they are so popular the number of Great Danes available for adoption is small. Adopting a Great Dane requires careful consideration to ensure that you will be able to raise the dog responsibly and also to find a responsible and loving home for the dog.
Before deciding to adopt a Great Dane it’s important to consider how much you’re willing to spend on a pet.
This decision should be based not only on the cost of a particular breed but also on your own individual needs. All great danes are great dogs whether they cost a lot or a little. So decide how much you’re willing to spend and then begin looking for that perfect dog that meets your standards.
You should start with the coat. Many Great Danes have distinctive coats, either short or long, with colors ranging from dark silver to black. Depending on where the dog originated it will determine the base color and how it should be colored. The Great Dane Harlequin is considering an American breed meaning that the color should fall within the lines of the American Kennel Club.
You will need to visit the breeder’s home to check out the litter in person.
It’s important to see the parents and even the baby (if he or she is present) so that you know whether or not the parents are suitable for breeding. Look for any abnormalities such as cysts, birth defects, illnesses, or skin disorders. You should also ask about the number of siblings the parents have. If there is more than one pup, you should expect to see siblings produced within two years of each other.
Another thing to look for when selecting Great Dane Harlequin puppies for sale is the base color. There are several recognized color patterns for this breed including chocolate, apricot, black and tan, chestnut, fawn, white and pure white. Chocolate and tan are the most popular because they are usually the result of crossbreeding. The apricot is generally determined by the result of picking up the gene from another breed.
Pure white or black patches on the body can mean different things.
Pure white has a lot of red in it from the bloodline and may produce a very vibrant coat with dark markings. Black patches may produce an oily, woolly coat and could have a lot of hair in the black area. It’s a good idea to check these traits before choosing Great Dane puppies for sale.
Breeding is something you will want to do slowly and with a great deal of care. If your new puppy doesn’t grow up to be a very large dog, he or she may produce too many offspring at once. If the Harlequin is a female, the male will rarely be able to conceive without impregnating the female first. Some males will do this, but they will only do it if the female is willing to mate with them first.
You will also want to look into breeding great blue Danes with other blue dogs. Sometimes, merles mix well with white dogs and vice versa. If you can get your puppy to have both blue eyes and a brown coat, they will make a great combination. Other options you can think about are blue, great Danes with golden retrievers, or another white or yellow retriever.
