Irene: Opal and Jake

We really think our Danes are beautiful!!! No disrespect to owners of other breeds but; Danes in general and for sure our greatviewdanes are very calm, lovable and conversant. They are forgiving and have a strong self esteem; they are aware of what is going on and how they fit in. We are country folk and have plenty of room for our dogs to motivate but they do get to come inside and stay in the house some at night especially when it is cold. Opal and Irene know when they have to mind and will stay where they are supposed to when told, we are still working with Jake.

Paula and Rick Nickelson

Our dealings with Joan and greatviewdanes could not have been better. Joan takes care of all the details and answers all the questions. In any dealing there has to be some trust. We have no problem referring anyone to greatviewdanes because our trust and faith in them is very strong.

Lisa Castro: Dutchess

We had owned a male Great Dane for two years when we decided to look into getting another one. We fell in love with the breed right away and will probably never have any thing different. We found Joan's ad for puppies and called her right away!

We were invited to come out to see them even though they were only four weeks old. When we got there we were greeted by some of the Danes who were more than happy to show us around!!! When we were shown the puppies you could tell these guys were given the "royal treatment" and that they were very loved. Mommy was very happy to show off her gorgeous puppies! We had already chosen our puppy, Dutchess, from her photo and fell in love the moment she was handed to us!

It was a long wait until she was ready to come home. Joan was so patient with us and even allowed us to meet her at the vet's office for the puppy checkups!!! Two vets gave the puppies excellent checkups and spoke very highly of Joan and her dogs.

Needless to say Dutchess has been a great addition to our home. She makes us laugh everyday and at a year old is still the baby. She thinks she is a lap dog and will crawl right up on our lap and nuzzle her head in for an ear rub. She was a breeze to train and is very well behaved. She is very healthy and is still growing. She has great muscle tone ( she has always been more stocky than her older brother Duke) and the vet says her bones and hips look good.

Joan is a great person to do business with and truly loves these puppies. She still keeps in touch and checks on Dutchess!! You can email us at lisacastro77@hotmail.com with any questions you have.

Carla Scheider: Nika

Thank you so much Joan (and family) for all the hospitality. I bought a great dane from the Olson's awhile back. Unfortunate things have happened in my life and I just couldn't keep my baby. I called up Joan and asked for her help. She and her family took my puppy back for me and provided her with the love and attention I couldn't at that time. She even went out of her way to find Nika (my great dane) a very loving home. I would recommend her if anyone is in need of a well raised great dane pup. If I am ever in a situation were I can have a great dane again, Joan will be the first and only one I will call. Thanks again Joan for everything you have done for me. Good Luck with your Bull Mastiffs also.

Margie: Dozer

Margie purchased Dozer (a male brindle) from Great View Danes and they are thoroughly enjoying him. He has been a perfect housedog with not one accident in the house ever!

Hi Joan!
Has been a fun filled week. Dozer has met my nephew and kids, our sons and their kids, my sister, mom and a brother. They can't believe how calm he is and of course beautiful! Our daughter and 3 kids are coming Thursday and staying till Sunday. Two boys 6 and 7 and a girl 11. Will be lots of fun! We are so thrilled to have Dozer!
