Jack Reacher - Our Late Patriarch

Ironically, Deep South Danes (DSD) was inspired by the opposite end of the canine spectrum — a 6-pound, 18-year-old Yorkie (Bodey) who passed peacefully in 2012 leaving his human distraught and lonely. Fortunately, professional Dane breeder Karen Lovett of Woodson Ridge Danes in North Mississippi stepped in and insisted on filling the gap with a beautiful 13-pound Great Dane pup who grew into a massive, 205-pound beauty named Jack Reacher (pictured above) our patriarch, who possessed the same gentle soul and beautiful attitude as his miniature predecessor. The rest is proverbial Great Dane history as the DSD pack began to grow in steps. Fast forward a decade+ and indeed the pack has expanded to 10 (including our retired dogs who now live the good life here on our DSD property). A few years back, we added our 2 Blue beauties, Mack and Belle, both solid and both now proven. Then, another addition and largest Dane on the property, our massive black boy, Kiffin (also proven). Now also residing at DSD; there's Dusty, our first 1-year-old Fawn and Ava Bear, our Merle female masterpiece. All of these registered Dane beauties can be found on our Photo Gallery' link (above). At DSD, we’re proud to pass these amazing bloodlines on to a carefully select few. Our advice; do your homework and make sure you understand the amazing potential, the massive size and gentle disposition of these awesome giants.
