ANKERS GREAT DANESOur Great Danes
They are not kennel dogs. They are our family — each with a completely different personality, favourite person and preferred sleeping spot.
Meet Lucy
Black Great Dane · Born 25 March 2022 · From Macrau Danes
“A real madam — loving, confident, particular about her comforts, and very clear about how things should be done.”
Lucy belongs to our youngest son, Christo, and the bond between them is something special. She listens extremely well to him and has very much chosen him as her person.
She may be a little smaller than our other Danes, but nobody should mistake that for a lack of character. Lucy is confident and protective of her family when she needs to be. She is not aggressive — she is simply assertive, knows herself, and does not take nonsense.
Meet LucyMeet Thanos
Mantle Great Dane · Born 22 November 2022 · From Macrau Danes
“The biggest Dane with the softest heart — my shadow, my boy, and sometimes the one hiding behind me.”
Thanos was the biggest puppy in his litter and grew into an exceptionally large male. Despite his size, he is gentle, sensitive and completely devoted to his person.
He follows me everywhere, sleeps at my feet and reminds me with a bump from that enormous head if I have forgotten to acknowledge him.
Meet ThanosMeet Katara
Harlequin Great Dane · Bernard's girl · Resident chaos coordinator
“She can make you mad and somehow have you forgiving her ten minutes later.”
Katara is the complete opposite of our other two Danes. She digs, chews, counter-surfs and has absolutely no concern for personal space — unless the personal space happens to be hers.
We call her the ADHD Dane and the baby raptor, but behind all that chaos is an affectionate girl who surprised us by becoming a wonderful mother to six beautiful puppies.
