Remy, our beautiful sweet Oregon Great Dane, was again awarded Winners Dog and Best of Winners during the McKenzie Cascade Dog Fancier’s Show in Albany, Oregon, February 24-27, 2017. He had already been awarded Winners Dog and Best of Winners the first day of the Show. It was an unexpected delight that he was chosen a second time for Winners Dog and Best of Winners .

Remy shown by Georgia Hymmen

Georgia Hymmen of Daynakin Great Danes once again piloted Remy to his wins. Georgia’s involvement with Great Danes has spawned decades. She actively and enthusiastically breeds and shows Fawn and Brindle Great Danes. She also is a member of Great Dane rescue clubs. One of the reasons it is crucial  to stay in touch with the show world, is the knowledge of people who show. I am constantly learning from my Great Dane dog show friends about the health and welfare of my dogs. My vet appreciates the knowledge I share with her, most from these dog show friends. I am lucky to have friends so knowledgeable about the breed they love and raise.. I don’t think any of us could imagine our lives without these goofy dogs.

We had a wonderful four day weekend at the Linn County Kennel Club and McKenzie Cascade Dog Fanciers shows in Albany, Oregon, February 24-27, 2017. Remy (Mantle Great Dane Oregon),our beautiful Mantle Great Dane was awarded Winner’s Dog and Best of Winners.

Off to the Dog Show

We still think of Remy as our sweet Great Dane mantle puppy who is a joy to live with and he LOVES going to dog shows. Remy knows when I start loading up the car and bathing him that it is time for a dog show. He runs to the door wagging his tail, essentially saying, let’s go, let’s go. Remy loves all his “Aunties” at the show that pet him and give him treats. He loves his dog friends at the show. We are careful not to let his enthusiasm infringe on another dog’s space, but he does have dog friends that he has had play dates with who he knows and loves and he loves seeing them at the dog shows.

Remy (Great Dane – Mantle) was awarded WD in Albany Oregon

This was a very fun dog show with Remy as his breeder Kathleen Davis was up for the show. This was a good sized show and Remy was awarded Winners Dog. His sister, Dharma, from Norther California was up visiting. She was awarded the Winners Bitch. The judge liked both dogs and Dharma was awarded Best of Winners, this was a major win for Dharma who is a Harlequin Great Dane. I love this picture of Remy and Kathleen his breeder. Remy is almost always shown by Georgia Hymmen and he was shown by Georgia in this show, but Georgia had to run off to show another dog, so Kathleen stepped in so we could get a win picture with the judge. Huge thanks to both Georgia for piloting Remy to the win and to Kathleen for helping with the picture.

When breeding in the Harlequin color family, the Harlequins don’t breed true, meaning that if you breed two Harlequins you won’t get all Harlequins and you could get white puppies that could suffer from hearing and site issues. The safer breeding is to breed mantles to harlequin or merles which will give you Harlequin, Mantle and Merle puppies.
