Hi Cathy and Crystal,

Thought I would drop a few lines to let you know how things are going. We are doing great and our new babies are absolutely the joys of our lives. We could not have found better. Colt is filling out wonderfully, and Saphira, Well lets just say she keeps us on our toes. We love them very much and wouldn't trade them for the world. Thank you for bringing them into our lives. We will send some pictures in a seperate email. Let us know when you get them.

Hi. sorry it took so long to get you some pics of Scooby Too. Scooby is our 4th great dane. He is without a doubt, the sweetest and most even tempered dane I have met. He has love and kisses for everyone he meets , even our grumpy cat. After only 2 pee accidents his first week he is now completely housebroken. Scooby shares a bedroom with our 4 yr old english bulldog Knuckles. They are loving brothers. Scooby loves to dig holes , chase squirrels and do other puppy stuff in our 3/4 acre fenced back yard. He will start obedience classes next month. Scooby is now 67 lbs and 26" at the shoulder. He has really filled the hole in our hearts that was left when our beloved Hudson passed. Thank you very much for such a wonderful dog. Scooby is still very active , but he is so gentle that you don't seem to notice it. Jan

Hi, the new litter of pups is beautiful. Hope everything is going good. We wish we could take another pup, but we have our hands full with Scooby. He is doing great. He is 90 lbs and 29" at the shoulder this week. He is still the sweetest dog I know, but hasn't settled down any yet. He requires a 3 mile walk everyday in addition to his 3-4 hr play sessions in the big back yard. He is such a great dog. If you want to give us as a reference to any prospective buyers, feel free to have them call us at *** - *** - ****. We would be happy to tell them about the great temperament , health and vitality of our Scooby Too. Thanks again Jan

This is what Jan had to say about us on puppy find located on our buyer reviews

Quality breeder, excellent temperment dogs!!

3 Months ago we purchased a great dane puppy from Tribledanes. He is our 5th and best dane. Our Scooby Too is sweet, even tempered and very gentle. He gets along well with our persian cat and english bulldog. He has been a real joy in our lives. He has been very healthy, and arrived with no fleas, worms , paracites or any other problems that are common in young puppies. Cathy and Crystal of Tribledanes have been very helpful and supportive since our purchase of Scooby. If I were to purchase another dane it would be from them. Once you meet in person the mom and dad of this litter you will understand why I recommend them so highly.

Cathy and Crystal,

We wanted to write and let you both know what a great joy Sampson has been to us. Everyday he makes us laugh. He is so great with our three small kids. He keeps us on our toes since we were used to having an older dane in the house. But we are totally in love with having a crazy puppy running around. He loves our yellow lab and even likes that other furry thing we have. (Lilly, our cat) Thank you both so much for the support you have given us and continue to offer. Sampson sends lots of puppy kisses back your way!

Hello Cathy and Crystal,

Just wanted to write to you and express how pleased we are with our new puppy Raider. We get so many compliments on him. Everyone is left in awe once they see him. Our other dog, Rusty, is is very happy with his new buddy.

Thank you both very much. I was a little skeptical at first, ordering him on line, but Tribledanes made me feel very confident and at ease. Thank you for taking the steps I ask of you in order to assure that Tribledanes was a legitimate breeder.

Again I can't thank you enough or express how pleased we are. Thank you for your continuing support.

I would have cried, too! I get so emotional over things like this! In fact, I actually did cry when I first saw him at the airport. He is just so beautiful and sweet and we love him so much already!! He seems to be adjusting well and loves his new brothers and sisters! He follows our daughter around, too. It is so cute!! We are taking him to the pet store today to get him a new collar (the one we have for him won't adjust to a small enough size, so we'll save that for when he gets bigger) and let him pick out some more toys. He did really well last night, he fell asleep on the living room floor around 11:00 (those were the pics we sent last night) and we put him in his bed around midnight. He slept until 6:15 and then got up to go potty and have his first feeding. He hasn't had one accident in the house yet, comes to us when we call him, and will sit when we touch his backside and give the command. He is so smart and is learning very quickly. You guys should be proud! You have raised him well, that is obvious to us! Thank you so much again for bringing him into our lives, we couldn't be happier!! I have attached some new pics from this morning. Enjoy!!

Hi, Guys! Here are some new pics of Gatsby and his brother and sister training with Daddy!! He is getting so big!! Our vet loves him and thinks he is just gorgeous (which, of course, he is!!). Hopefully, his ears won't take long to stand on their own. I'll take more pics on Sunday when we take his bandages off so you can see how they are progressing. I don't know if Frank told you, but, Gatsby will shake hands on command now, too! He is sooooooooooooooo smart! I have never seen an 11 week old puppy learn to shake (or even sit for that matter, which he has been doing for a while now!). We think he is gifted!! :) LOL

Talk to you soon!!!

Hi, guys!! Congratulations on the newest additions to your family!! They are absolutely gorgeous!! I'm in love with female #4! I'm trying to talk Frank into another one. He thinks it's too early and that we should wait until Gatsby is a little bit older, but I don't know if I can wait that long! Give Shashonnee a kiss for us and tell her we said congratulations!

Gatsby had his first formal obedience training session today and the trainer said he is exceptional! He thinks Gatsby is just beautiful (which he is!!) and said his temperament is wonderful! He has another session next weekend, so we'll let you know how it goes.

Zander

Hi Crystal and Cathy,

I wanted to write you a letter to use for your reviews. I want everyone to know who is considering one your puppies, that they should stop looking and definately get one of yours! Zander has the best tempermant! My 3 yr old can put his hands in his food dish, pet his tail, take a bone right out of his mouth, and Zander patiently waits to get it back! He doesn't even nip, or " mouth " us when playing like most puppies do. My 3 yr old can walk around with food, and he never even considers taking it, doesn't steal food off the coffee table, learns everything we teach him quickly! From the very first night he hasn't had one accident at night. I take him in the bedroom, tell him to go to his bed, he lays down and stays there til morning. Even when he wakes up in the morning, he will lay on his bed playing by himself until I get up. He is very sweet and loving, definately AKC standards on personality and tempermant! He is so patient and tolerant of our 3 yr old .Not to mention he is the most beautiful dane EVER!!! All your pups are absolutely gorgeous, and the parents. Pictures don't do them justice, I was in awe when I saw them in person. As for breeders, I've never met any so willing to help with any questions, and ALWAYS a quick response. A lot of breeders don't care once they have the money, but ya'll have always been there to help, and I know I have asked you 2 million questions!!! Ya'll even helped when I called you for help with a puppy that wasn't from your litter! It's reassuring knowing you will be there with help and advice for the life of our baby, not just til the check clears! If anyone would like to speak to us about our experience with Tribledanes, we would be more than happy to help! Thank you so much for our new family member, and I will send pics soon and often.

Thanks!!!

Have I told you lately what a genious Zander is? I swear, he is the smartest dog in the world! Besides learning the basic commands VERY quickly, like stay there, etc. anything I teach him, he learns after I tell him a couple times. He knows how to give a high five! I was watching a repeat of Regis and Kelly, and Kellys dog did a high five. I said, how cute! I put my hand up and told Zander to give me a high five and he did!!! And he does it everytime you tell him to. I'm trying to teach him to hold a treat on his nose, then on command throw it up in the air and catch it. I'm not sure how tho. I've got him where he'll hold still so the treat doesn't fall off his nose, and twice he almost threw it in the air and caught it, but he's figured out when I give the command, all he has to do is lower his nose, the treat falls to the floor, and he gets it. Haha, so cute. His so adorable. Maybe if I don't breed him I can find someone with GOOD pedigrees, and I WILL check them this time, to stud him out and I can get a puppy. If not, I'll be back for one of Porters......

No go ahead! literally the guy took lukas from me and gave him to his best show handler which, is fine bc he acts too goofy with me and he showed awesome with the handler...they also gave me the first class on the house bc they think he has so much potential. we will see how he does in the class but he did well and was impressive on his first day. the boss guy told me he never gives out compliments ever and was throwing them to me left and right. I was so proud!

Hi Gals!!

I'm so happy to see that Shay and the pups are doing great. They are soooo cute... Congrats to Porter and Shay for another job well done!!!!!

Allie is doing wonderful and she is growing up to be a very good looking girl. I am getting numerous compliments on her looks, confirmation and personality (Attitude and all) She is my baby girl who can simply do "no wrong", LOL.

I just want to commend you both on doing such a wonderful job, not only breeding excellent quality pups, but also the time you take getting them ready for their new homes. It is a labor of love and it shows.

As you know, Allie is our fifth Dane all together and our second Dane in the house right now. I have done a lot of research in the past, not only on the breed, but also looking for reputable breeders, and I can definately say that I have no reservations recommending you, as well as coming back myself for my next baby.

Any prospective buyer can feel confident on receiving a high quality pup, with excellent pedigree and care. I wanted to say so much more, but it's hard to put it into words. You have to see and experience these pups to really get the "big picture"

If any buyers have questions or would like to speak with past puppy owners, pls don't hesitate to pass along my e-mail address.

Take care, we'll talk soon.

We are so happy we have Henry! If we ever bought another Dane it would be from Tribledanes! We will never buy another Dane from any other breeder. Henry is the most well behaved dog ever. He was potty trained when we got him and he has never snapped, growled or tried to bite anybody. He is the sweetest thing you will ever meet we are so pleased with him. He is so great with everybody even little kids he loves to play with them and he listens to every command we tell him, and every time we give him a bath trim his nails or do anything he doesn't fight us at all. He is a very fast learner we can teach him a trick in about 5 to 10 min they are really smart dogs. Thanks for giving us the best dog in the whole world we couldn't be more pleased with him.

I just wanted to write and let everyone know what a great experience we have had with our Tyson. I looked at a lot of breeders on the internet to find the perfect dane. When I found Tribledanes webpage and read all the information they put on there, I was very impressed! The love and care you guys take in your dogs is extraordinary. The puppies were gorgous in their weekly pictures, and it was very nice to see such great pictures of the mom and dad, too. This was the first time I had bought a dog over the internet, but Crystal and Cathy were exceptionally straight forward and honest, I never had any doubts. And when we got to the airport and saw our puppy---I cried. He was the most beautiful puppy I have ever seen. He was so sweet smelling, and friendly from the first second. He amazed everyone with how smart he is. He was already housebroken and learns new tricks in about 5 minutes. When I took him to our local vet, he said "WHERE did you GET that dog? I've seen every dane around here and there is none like him!" He is now almost 7 months old and is so much a part of our family that I can't imagine life without him. He is very gentle and calm and loves everyone. He loves to go by-by. We take him camping and he stays right with us or walks along side of us without a leash. He won't leave our campsite without us, it's great and nobody can believe it! The bottom line is if you are looking for a great loyal pet, you won't go wrong with one of Tribledanes puppies.

Well, we truly believe she is an angel----she's captured our hearts and her feet have rarely touched the ground! She went into the hotel room like she'd done it one hundredtimes before------she slept with Stephen and me and cuddled all night long. Whimpered just a bit but was easily calmed. When she got to our house, she ran through the gardens, picking one (or 20) of each flower!! she looked so beautiful and totally happy---she has a huge basket of toys and 3 warm snuggly beds ------one on the screen porch and two inside---she's taken right to the couch and I'm sure will be sleeping with Stephen and me----or one of the boys------know that your angel has found an earthly home and we adore our sweet Ponca-------after losing our Boudreaux we were in desparate need of an Angel!

Took us a long time to get home we kept stopping and playing in parks on the way home----we just got here about 30 minutes ago------

Funny that you should mention Pocahontas, I had a weimeraner years ago named Pocahontas---we called her Poco-----that's why she wasn't Poco!! She has been adjusting nicely---today she met Mark---our mailman----he loved Boudreaux so much and vice versa----he always stopped and played with Boudreaux----and today he put down the mail and formally greeted our Ponca-----he's such a great guy and always want the dogs not to bark at the mailman!! We have a stream of friends coming by tonight----I'll bet i had about 12 messages yesterday wanting to know when we'd be home---I just told everyone we got home late----just wanted a nice quiet welcome home for her----one of our cats, Zydeco, was very nice and happy to greet Ponca---the little one isn't sure yet!

You are more than welcome to use anything we've written on your website------you raise beautiful well adjusted dogs and anyone would be lucky to live with one-----my boys marveled at her clean pink ears!! She slept well last night cuddled between my husband and me-----she woke up full of life and love for everyone around her!! what a joy for my teenage son's to wake up to Ponca kisses!! She came in the shower with me this morning and got drenched---but didn't seem to care---just wandered on around the bathroom looking for mischief!! We took a short walk to meet the 2 year old neighbor, Beatrice---she loves Ponca and they will be fast friends-----

She's asleep on the loveseat in the kitchen--------I hope to send you pictures of Ponca and her new home tomorrow-------

We feel so lucky to have found you both and your well cared for sweet puppy---our Ponca!

Ponca is doing great! she's loved our snowfall----she lays in it and eats the snow---she's become quite the clown and loves it when everyone laughs at her! Ponca weighs 112 pounds and is 36 inches at the shoulder----she and I go on an hour to an hour and a half walks in the woods everyday---she runs and chases squirrels and plays in the creek----occasionally we run into a dog friend or two that she plays with. Her best pal, Hayes the boxer moved to Puerto Rico ----but she has Astro the golden retriever and a rodesian ridgeback that she loves to romp in the woods with. She's going to the beach in June and to the Buffalo River with us in March.

I can't find the cord to download pics right now but she has turned into quite the beauty---we get cars stopping all the time to ask about her----and she is as sweet as she is beautiful!

She loves all the boys' friends----get's so excited when we have a housefull of monkey business!! Ponca is laying by a big fire snoozin right now ----know that she is having a wonderful full much loved life. Thank you for being such good and responsible breeders.

Subject: Buyer Review

First, let me say that as an owner of the most amazing dogs in the world..Great Danes, this was my first experience buying a Great Dane online, and thanks to these two wonderful ladies, it was a hassle free and worry free experience. When I decided to purchase a Fawn male to add to our family I looked at a lot of websites, did my research and even examined the pedigrees closely, after all you only want the best. It was then that I decided to contact Cathy and Crystal about their upcoming litter of Fawns. Cathy and Crystal are wonderful people who care more about their Danes than anyone else I have ever had the pleasure of meeting or getting to know. They both have been just amazing, calling with updates or to tell us something funny that Copper did, always letting us know how he's doing and how big he's getting. We talk several times a week, sometimes a day, email back and forth several times a day as well. They are amazing, responsible and extremely ethical breeders. They only want the best for each and every one of their babies, as any great breeder would. We are so grateful to them for our sweet boy Copper. We couldn't of asked for a sweeter, more loving and more beautiful addition to our family. Tribledanes will always be a part of our family. Thank you so much Cathy and Crystal, we love you both so much and think the world of you!

Julie

We highly recommend Tribledanes if you are looking for that special Great Dane to make your family perfectly complete, you wont be disappointed!!!

This is what Julie had to say about us on our buyer review located on Puppyfind

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!

Being a breeder myself of this amazing breed, Cathy & Crystal- thank you both so much for EVERYTHING!! You have mentored me, helped me and done so much that there aren't enough words to express my thanks to the two of you! We are all so excited about getting Copper!! We can't wait! When the time comes for us to add another Dane to our family (that doesn't come from one of our own), you will be where we come! You two are such good respectable breeders and my family and I are so pleased to have gotten to know you both and become friends! Now we are just excited about Copper and Joplin in 2 years...can't wait to see that litter!!! Love you both so much and a million thanks!

Cathy & Crystal,

Just wanted to give you an update on Copper and let you know how he's doing. Copper is doing awesome, growing like a weed but much bigger, and he's the sweetest and most loving Dane. He is truly a momma's boy! He's all about my daughter (that's his momma) and is on her every move. We have always said Copper has such a great temperament, but we recently found out first hand how well tempered he truly is. When we had to bring Corn & Teansie back home to us, we were worried about Copper and Corn getting along with them both being males and both being "intact", but we soon found out we had no reason to worry. Copper loves his girls and loves this family. He truly is the "king" around here. No matter where we go, if we have Copper with us heads turn and jaws drop. Everyone just loves him, and can't say enough good things about him. The cutest thing is when Copper and Otto, our toy poodle, play it's so cute, he's so gentle with him. We can't thank yall enough for allowing us to share our home and our love with this magnificent Dane. You guys are amazing and we love yall so much. We will give Copper big hugs and kisses from all of you!!

He is indeed a handsome boy and we love his calm and royal disposition. It's amazing a big dog like him could be so well behaved and sweet natured. He also does very well with my son Kavin who is 3 1/2 years old.

Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2009 10:31:38 -0400

Dear Cathy and Crystal,

Kavin is 3 and he gets along very well with Tiny. He had his friend Raymond over for a play date yesterday and at first Raymond was scared of Tiny and then when he had about 5 minutes with him then he started to call Tiny "silly doggy". Tiny enjoys the kids playground and he goes down the slide and plays in the sandpit with the kids. Tiny has his best friend Zor with him (the St. Bernard). Both breeds are excellent with children.

Tiny is also a great security dog. He is always on guard in the evening between 1a-4a. If he hears anything he immediately goes out to the yard and lets any strangers know that he is there.

One nice extra benefit of having a Great Dane is that he does baby sit Kavin (I'm watching him too but when I do yard work it is a benefit that he is there for backup). He doesn't let him out of his sight and when Kavin walks in the yard (1 acre) he stays with him and if anyone gets near the fence, Tiny lets them know to walk away.

Tiny also enjoys a lot of hugs and kisses. He gets them from all of us and the pack. Incase any of your buyers are concerned about little dogs, Tiny respects both of the little ones and plays with them gently. My friend brought her golden retriever puppy over for a play date yesterday and the whole pack greeted him and they had a great time.

He also enjoys family movie time where we bring the pack into the media room and as a family we sit down and watch a movie together. He really is wonderful and we love him very much.

Thank you,
Lisa

We joined a Meet-up group for Dane owners but have only been once because of bad weather conditions. We love talking to other owners. We learn some great things and hear funny stories. I sure wish I could be there to get a little puppy fix. I know how much you love each and everyone of them. I am so glad we purchased Bella from you. I feel I really did find (after a lot of searching) the best breeder for us. Thanks so much.

Cathy & Crystal;

I've wanted a Great Dane since I've been a child, so when it came time at age 62 to make that childhood fantasy a reality, I spent a lot of time looking for the right breeder and the right puppy. I looked at hundreds of puppies on the internet and was impressed with your website. I could tell that your puppies were "family" to you and that you were just as particular about potential buyers as we were about the breeder. I must say that from the beginning, the process of working with you has been a great experience. You kept us informed all through Shay's pregnancy and after Bo's birth were so gracious to keep us updated with photos and personal information about his growth until he could come home to us. You were so patient to answer my numerous questions - before AND after the purchase. The love and care you gave to him in those important first formative weeks has paid off as we couldn't ask for a more wonderful pet. Bo is calm (OK - as much as a puppy can be), intelligent and loving. He is wonderful with our grandchildren and has learned everything so quickly at his training class. At only three months of age, Bo sits, comes, lies down, "leaves it", and does loose leash walking like a champ. He potty trained almost immediately and loves to ride in the car. I cannot say enough good things about him. The combination of good genetics and good breeders has blessed us with a wonderful family pet that more than fulfills my childhood dream. I know his good beginning with you made all the difference in the world. Thank you so much for your hard work. Please feel free to use us as a reference for anyone who might have questions.
Sincerely,
Harriett & Dick

I attached a photo of the surprise "puppy shower" some church friends gave for us!

Crystal and Cathy,

Cheryl and I wanted to take a moment to tell you how lucky we feel to have found you. You are absolutely the best breeders in the world in our opinions, and we could not be happier.

Even before we met you both, Cheryl and I knew you two were special. You have an amazing amount of knowledge and a true love for your pups. We like to ask a lot of questions, so thank you very much for your knowledgeable answers. From diet to health to those things only true Dane lover's know, you are invaluable and the first people we turn to when we have a question or are looking for a knowledgeable opinion.

We could not be happier with Finn, he came to us a happy, healthy, and confident little guy and that only comes from a breeder that really cares about those important first few months, especially in terms of a pups personality and well being.

I cant resist bragging about Finn a little, especially since you two had so much to do with his natural poise and good looks :) We take Finn out daily for socialization, usually to the pet supply or home improvement store (his favorite btw, it's a guy thing I guess). You would be amazed at how many people come up to us, complimenting Finn on his poise, his posture and his calm nature.

Finn aced his training classes as you may know, the head trainer called him "royalty", "a natural leader", the assistant trainer adopted him as her personal favorite. He learns very quickly and we are looking forward to starting his Canine Good Citizen training soon.

Invariably the people we meet ask where we found such a beautiful dog, so we are spreading the word about Trible Danes. We really believe you two are the best breeders around and we are happy to share that with the people we meet.

I mention all this because we truly feel that it was your care and expertise as breeders that gave Finn a big head start on life. Thank you so much.

Best regards
Cheryl & Jeff & Finn

Hello! Hope your new year is going well! We wanted to send you some pictures for updates!! Artie is huge!! He is growing so fast! We have been marking his height and weight on the doorway to the garage!!! It is amazing to us, as we have never had a great dane!! We love it! We have also found it hilarious of how much of lap dogs they think they are! We always knew it but I never really got how they became like that...I don't know what makes Artie do it!! It is like it was pre-wired for it..one day I just noticed him backing up on me (as I was standing) and he was trying to sit on me!! He stands next to me and just constantly trys to get some footing with his back leg somewhere on my body! It is hilarious! I love it though!! I keep trying to hold him for as long as I can because soon (very soon) I know I won't be able to pick him up!! He is definately a talker too!! We love it! On a Sunday morning when we get the dogs into our bed to just lay around and talk to them he just lays there making noises kind of like growling and kind of like whining!! I am sure you know what I am talking about!! And of course his tail is going at the same time! He is totally talking to us and it is fantastic! The tail has become its own entity! I got wacked by it the first time the other day and it actually had some power behind it. I now know why people say to watch out..and he is only 4 months!! Lew and Artie are getting along well but we need to start working on being gentle! I found Artie jumping on Lew one morning! Artie was having a blast...Lew not so much!! Luckily there were no injuries and I got a great laugh out of it! Due to that behavior he has gotten the nick name of "no" and "the artie monster"!

We found a great dane meet up group here in Las Vegas and we joined!! I am so excited and it reminds me of the "greyhound community". The dogs are massive and so sweet and the humans are so nice and so great to talk to! We meet up at different parks around the county. Last week was our first time and of course Artie was the puppy and everyone loved him!! It was his first real interactions with other dogs. It was amazing how calm he was around the danes vs. the other dogs in the park. There were a lot of comments of "oh remember when so and so was that big" or "its been a long time since we had a dane puppy in the house". I can't tell you how excited I am that I found that group! We have a web space to communicate and they do BBQ's and Dane hikes on occasions so I think it will be great! Oh and we started our first puppy class last week!

Ladies, Artie has brought so much into our lives already I am so happy we found you and found Artie!! We love him so much!

So there are some pictures attached and we will keep sending more!

Take care,

Kirsten and James

Artie and Lew

Hope you both are doing well!!! We are trying to stay warm here in WV!! It has been an extremely cold and snowy winter... Here are a few pics of Stryder staying warm... Lol.. He LOVES the fireplace!!! He is the best dog and has been such a wonderful addition to our family. Everyone who sees him for the first time just goes on and on about what a beautiful dog he is. He is such a good representation of the Great Dane breed in terms of his looks, temperament and personality. We couldn't be happier!!! Thanks again for allowing us to take care of one of your babies.

Cathy, Crystal:

Hey. I'm writing to comment on all the wonderful blessings we've received from Chubaka.

Ever since we brought him home he has been such a welcome addition to our home. We are continually amazed at his understanding and intelligence. He is so loving, affectionate willing to learn new things. Of course he is very much a puppy and occasionally forgets things, but don't we all from time to time. All of the work you both have put into his early development is clearly evident. Most recently we were so proud of him to know that in his puppy class he is the only one that has completed all the requirements to attend the AKC S.T.A.R. program and completed it a week early. Also of note is that there is another great dane in the class who hasn't completed all the things that Chubaka has. The dog trainer is so impressed with him that she told me at his last class that she has already arranged for him in her next class for the S.T.A.R program class. Maria and I are so blessed and happy to have him, we can't imagine our life without him. All our future danes will definitely come from "Tribledanes". You truly know and understand danes and take great pride in their early development and support throughout their life. That was evident from the first time we applied to you to make him a member of our family, to his first day of life, the day we picked him up and even now, all the joy and happiness he brings us. We love and adore him immensely.

Thank-you doesn't even begin to express our gratitude.

Maria and I are humbled and honored at your knowledge, intelligence, love and support in providing us with a member to our family that far and away exceeds all our expectations.

Very Respectfully,

Brendon & Maria
