Okelani - Dachshund & Great Dane Breeder - Armidale, NSW
Great Dane Dog Breeder - NSW
We are a family that loves animals. We live on a farm in the New England of NSW. We love getting out and showing our dogs and cats and are out and about most weekends.
We don't breed very often as we are more focused on the show side of things but we do sometimes have kittens and puppies available.

Our standards & practices
Health testing & screening
Question. Do you health test appropriately (eg hip and elbow X-ray scoring, DNA testing), and understand the genetic issues that may affect your breed? If your breed is prone to health issues, what are they, and what testing practices do you have in place?
Answer. Yes.We hip and elbow score all of our dogs and carry out a complete Dna screening on all dogs. Our dogs are all eye tested. The shiba inu also have their patellas grades.
Our girls will only ever have a maximum of two litters and then they are desexed and they still remain living with us. We offer a health guarantee on all puppies sold and we also provide a $250 desexing rebate on proof of desexing. We are here for our puppy homes 24/7 for the life if their puppy.
Preparation & socialisation
Question. Do you ensure that your puppies are properly socialised?
Answer. Yes.Our puppies are raised on our farm with our four kids. They are brought up around a number of different animals. Once they have had their first vaccination my family and friends visit often so puppies are used to alot of different experiences by the time they leave our home.
Placement & matching
Question. Is making sure your puppies go to the right homes a priority? How do you ensure they are placed in loving, responsible homes?
Answer. Yes.I like to meet the people and i like to see them around my dogs and how they interact. We travel alot for dog shows so get to meet alot of our future puppy families that way.
Question. Do you have any of the following: conditions of sale, health guarantee or warranty, de-sexing agreement, a buyer questionnaire, verbal or personal interview?
Answer. Yes.We have all of the above. As we live in a remote location it is not always possible to meet people face to face but I would not sell a puppy to someone i have not spoke to on the phone a number of times.
Ongoing support
Question. Do you offer ongoing support?
Answer. Yes.We are always here for our puppy buyers, we are babysitting one now for 6 weeks as they are moving house. We are always here for phone calls or anything else they need. If they are in a location too far from me i organise for one of dane breeder friends to meet up with them
Question. Do you assist the buyer with re-homing an animal that was purchased from you if they are unable to keep it?
Answer. Yes.I have a clause in my contract that all animals must come back to me if they are no longer able to keep them.
