If could choose between them, which would you pick?

I like BelMar much better than Asbury. She seems more genuine. I like the fact that she offers pet insurance with puppy, versus Asbury just stating that they replace the puppy if it dies within a year. And in the buyer contract, this is what it states:

The Buyer agrees to: (1) provide prompt medical attention for any illness or injury to said Great Dane. (2) perform a yearly “wellness exam”. (3) vaccinate said Great Dane no earlier than 6 months of age if. Buyer understands that the Breeders do not support or recommend vaccinations and agrees that Breeders have provided information concerning problems associated with vaccinations. If the dog is vaccinated, Leptospirosis and Corona virus vaccines shall be omitted. Buyer understands that the Breeders do not recommend annual vaccination boosters. Buyer also understands that unless said Great Dane is to be professionally kenneled, the Kennel Cough Vaccine shall not be administered. Buyer understands that the use of flea/tick products (over the counter or prescribed by a veterinarian) is known to be detrimental to the health of Great Danes. Buyer agrees to NEVER use the product “Revolution” on the dog. Buyer agrees to never allow the use of cortisteroids on the dog and that doing so will automatically null and void this warranty/contract. Buyer understands that the Breeders believe that initial and regular annual vaccinations, including Rabies, are detrimental to the health of the Great Dane breed, and that any illness arising from such vaccinations, confirmed by the Breeder’s veterinarian, will not be warranted.

I would think that would not be wise, not to vaccinate your puppy at all. Please tell me if I'm wrong, I don't know specifics on Great Danes too well. But all in all, I would go with DelMar. Her adults are prettier too.

I saw that ... she kind of "hid" it on her site. I didn't really look at the puppy page, I was more interested in the adults and her breeding program. I think the contract should be in a more visible place. Anyway, I disagreed with a *LOT* of stuff on her contract.

The lady from BelMar quit e-mailing me. I'm hoping it's because of the holidays, but I started to get the vibe that she didn't want to sell a pup to me anyway. I haven't found another fawn breeder that I like, so I may have to go with another color. Fawn is my choice, but I really do love all the colors except Harlequin and Brindle.

*Sigh* This is so disheartening. I hope I can find the perfect breeder. I've been searching for so long, and still have come up with nothing.

The price thing bothers me too, I like it better when it's not named on the site.

The price on the website bothers me. It shows more love when it's not named on the site. Besides, that I like that the litters are not that frequent. Her danes are beautiful to. I love Belle! She is so pretty. I also like the fact the she offers pet insurance when you purchase a puppy.

We do now have a member who you could ask . Eastwood Danes. e-mail her and ask your questions I bet she could give you pointers on the breed and breeders.
