Selina 2009 at age 10 years
Established in 1966 with the purchase of our first Great Dane bitch, Asta.
Von Hapsburg Danes has recently moved to Saskatchewan , near Davidson with my daughter and son-in-law.
We are starting an organic farm and an eventual retreat.
It is a whole new adventure for me and I am looking forward to contributing some practical knowledge.
Family and business commitments intervened for many years and showing and breeding Danes were put on hold, although our home was never without a Dane or two.
During those intervening years I became interested in nutrition and how it affected our Danes and this led to a full time passion to better our breed incorporating vitamins and supplements, naturalfeeding and later a fresh raw diet and holistic therapies.
All our Danes are raised in our home and very much a part of my family.
For the past 17 years we have been feeding a fresh raw diet, or BARF
as it is known (Bones and Raw Food).
Our Danes and puppies have enjoyed supurb health and energy with very few veterinary bills.
In addition to a natural feeding protocol our Danes are not vaccinated. We believe in NATURAL IMMUNITY, which is built up with a raw diet, immune building supplements and holistic husbandry.
I am committed to increasing health and longevity in this wonderful breed, who have shared my home for the past 45 years.
For loving companions and future champions
