FOXRUN DANES
  Nestled in the heart of Connecticut, surrounded by the Cockaponsette Forest in Higganum - comes to life the perfect setting for raising a breed of dog that loves the room to gallop in open fields or woods-intermingled with streams and old stone walls,teaming with wildlife and long forgotten customs in the quaintness of an early New England town. Foxrun Danes got it's name from a sly and cunning little fellow who visits on occasion eyeing with intent the numerous chickens roaming the property. Breaking the quiet of the moment a thundering sound comes around the corner as the dogs chase each other until finally making their way to their favorite couch in the living room for a quick afternoon nap.
   Our love for the breed began with our first dane 15 years ago. "Casper" brought so much into our lives with his gentleness and devotion. He will forever hold a spot in our hearts and it was because of him that we decided to raise this wonderful breed. We feel that the stability and the longevity of the breed are crucial therefore our dogs have all the necessary health clearances. I have been a veterinary technician for the last 26 years and a big part of my life has been dedicated to the well being of pets and their owners. I feel that as a breeder it is our responsibility to ensure that all bred dogs are healthy and sound.Our dogs are cleared for the following-OFA hips;OFA elbows;OFA Thyroid; CERF;vonWillibrands. We will stand behind our puppies for their lifetime and will always make ourselves available for questions or suggestions.
   Now, to introduce our dogs - It was in the fall of 2003,that after months of searching, we found our special girl."Jessie" aka DULCE JESSIE'S MELODY-out of Palladium Dulce NT Sky W Diamonds,CD,RE,TDI,CGC and CH Sasdanias Ticoderoga.We will be forever thankful to Tracy Powell of Dulce Danes for our beautiful mantle. We love her dearly. Not only is she beautiful but she is the sweetest.We began showing her when she was 6 months old and she was a natural in the ring. In September 2006 Jessie had her first litter. A BEAUTIFUL litter of 8 pups.Five of which went to very loving forever homes and the other three stayed here with us. You can view the pups on the New Additions page.
   Then came "Lance" aka D'ORO TRUE'S SIR LANCELOT out of B&B Jerdan's Scully D'Oro and True's Knight in White Satin,CD.ThankYou,Thank You to Tabitha Gardner of D'Oro Danes for our special boy. Sadly we had to part with Lance way to early in his young life due to an unfortunate accident. We will forever hold him dear in our hearts.We loved him dearly.
