About Us.

Hello and Welcome!!! Glad you found us! My name is Crystal and I am the face behind Mallard Lake Great Danes. I’ve been owned and loved by Danes since 2005! My journey with Great Danes started back when I purchased my first home in 2005. I was a young ripe age of 18yrs old and ready to tackle adult hood; little did I know back then lol, on my own. I always envisioned my home being full of animals, as even as a young child my nickname was Ellie Mae! Bringing in every stray I could find against my parents will! I even had a stray kitten kept a secret in my bedroom for a whole 6 months before my parents found out; HA!, but that’s for another story time! Any-who, back on track…My first Dane! I knew my first dog would be a large breed as I was raised around large animals, horses, cows, labs etc… So in my research phase I came across a Great Dane breeder 30 miles up the road from me! Coincidentally enough she just recently had a litter with puppies looking for new homes. Once arriving I was immediately greeted; eye to eye, by two of the most majestic animals I have ever seen in real life, in my opinion. It was at that very moment that I knew that a Great Dane stole my heart.Tank was his name, my first Dane! Beautiful Mis marked Mantle Black dane! He went everywhere with me! Vacations, walks, car rides to town… anywhere he was welcome he came! Tank lived to the long ripe age of 8yrs old and although not long enough in my eyes, I first hand experienced how much this one dog captured my heart. Their kindness, their protectiveness of their family, the bond from a Great Dane is not alike any pet I’ve ever experienced. It was once tank passed and my search for another Dane I knew I wanted to share this kind of love and loyalty I felt from this breed with others! Now like others in the beginning I jumped with both feet and took off running. However thankfully to many breeders and mentors along my journey who’ve help guide me and my direction of improving the breed; I am where I am today! I don’t have litters often, and do run two full time businesses, please check back periodically on announcements of upcoming litters.Thank you again for finding the time and interest in Mallard Lake Great Danes-CrystalBreeder/Owner
