Willow - Mantle Great Dane Puppy

Meet Willow

Willow is a female Great Dane whose Mantle coloring creates a strong contrast between dark and white areas of her coat. Families comparing Great Dane colors can use her three photographs to see her individual markings rather than relying only on a general color description.

Her appearance is only one part of choosing a puppy. Great Danes are large dogs with long-term requirements for appropriate training, nutrition, veterinary care and adequate living space. Prospective owners should consider those needs before making a reservation.

Willow at 8 Weeks

At eight weeks Willow is at an early point in her development and has many new experiences ahead of her. Moving to a new home introduces new people, sounds, routines and surroundings, so consistency during the transition can help a young puppy understand what is expected.

Short positive training sessions can be used to begin name recognition, house-training routines and basic manners. Because Willow will grow considerably, teaching calm behavior while she is young can be useful throughout adolescence and adulthood.

Health Care & Registration

Willow receives age-appropriate puppy care before leaving Mainely Danes. Her available records accompany her placement so her new family and veterinarian can review the care she has already received and plan the next stages appropriately.

• Veterinary health check
• Age-appropriate vaccination records
• Deworming information
• Health certificate
• AKC registration paperwork
• 2-year health guarantee

Willow's Breeding Background

Willow comes from our registered Great Dane breeding program. Health considerations for the adult dogs used in the program include breed-relevant evaluations associated with hips, cardiac health, eyes and thyroid health.

We have not assigned sire and dam names to Willow on this public profile because her exact pairing should only be published when it matches her verified records. Applicable pedigree and parent information can be supplied as part of her documentation.

What Willow Comes Home With

Willow's new family receives the applicable documentation associated with her puppy care and registration. Keeping these records together makes it easier to share her previous care information with the family's veterinarian.

• AKC registration paperwork
• Available vaccination records
• Deworming information
• Health certificate
• Written 2-year health guarantee
• Puppy identification information

Her new owner should continue routine veterinary care and follow their veterinarian's recommendations for vaccinations, nutrition and preventive health care.

Preparing for Willow's Arrival

Willow is still a small puppy compared with the size she can reach as an adult. Families should plan ahead for appropriately sized feeding equipment, sleeping space, transportation and other supplies that may need to change as she grows.

Great Dane puppies develop rapidly, so owners should also discuss feeding quantities, body condition and age-appropriate exercise with their veterinarian rather than encouraging excessive activity during growth.
