About CB Great Dane Puppies
CB Great Dane Puppies is a family breeder based in the USA. Our puppies are born and raised inside our home, where they are handled every day, hear normal household noise, and get used to people of all ages long before they leave us.
We get many of the same questions from families, so we gathered the most common ones here. If you do not see your answer, send us a note through the contact page or email info@cbgreatdanepuppies.com. We usually reply within 24 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Puppies and Reservations
How much does a Great Dane puppy cost?
Our puppies are $900. That price includes age appropriate vaccinations, deworming, a veterinary health check, our 12 month health guarantee, a nutrition manual, a care guide, play toys, and AKC registration application paperwork.
Delivery is not included in the price. If you would like your puppy brought to you, we quote that cost separately based on distance.
How do I reserve a puppy?
Browse our available puppies, then contact us about the one you like. We will answer your questions, confirm the puppy is still open, and walk you through the sales agreement.
A $300 deposit holds your puppy and is credited toward the $900 price. The balance is due before pickup or shipping.
Is the deposit refundable?
If we cannot release your reserved puppy, for example because a health concern turns up before departure, you choose between a full refund or moving the deposit to another puppy.
If you change your mind, the deposit is not refunded in cash. It can be transferred to another available puppy or to a future litter within 12 months. Our refund policy has the full details.
What coat colors do you have?
We commonly have harlequin, merle, blue, black, and mantle puppies. Colors vary from litter to litter, so check the available puppies page or ask us what is coming up next.
Do your puppies come with AKC papers?
Yes. Every puppy goes home with AKC registration application paperwork so you can complete the registration in your name.
Health and Care
What does the health guarantee cover?
Our guarantee runs for 12 months from the day your puppy goes home and covers congenital and hereditary conditions that seriously affect health. You need to have your puppy examined by a licensed vet within 72 hours of homecoming to keep the guarantee active.
Read the full terms on our health guarantee page.
Which vaccinations will my puppy have?
Puppies receive their first DHPP shot at about 6 weeks and the second at about 9 weeks. They are dewormed at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. A written record goes home with every puppy.
Your vet will continue boosters at roughly 12 and 16 weeks and give rabies according to your state law. See our vaccinations page for more.
How big will my Great Dane get?
Around 10 weeks, our males are usually about 19 lbs and 17 inches tall, and females about 17 lbs and 15 inches. They grow fast through the first year and keep filling out after that.
Plan for a very large adult dog. A sturdy crate, a big bed, and room to stretch out matter more than you might expect.
What should I feed my puppy?
Your puppy comes home with our nutrition manual, which explains what we feed and how much. We recommend a quality large breed puppy food that supports steady, controlled growth rather than rapid weight gain.
Split meals into three or four small feedings a day and avoid hard play right after eating.
Are Great Danes good with kids and other pets?
Great Danes are known for being gentle and patient, and our puppies grow up around family life. Even so, a big puppy can knock over a toddler by accident, so always supervise young children.
Introduce cats and other dogs slowly, on neutral ground when possible, and give everyone a quiet place to retreat.
Delivery and Homecoming
How old are puppies when they go home?
Our puppies go home at around 10 weeks old. That gives them time with their mother and littermates, their first vaccines, and a vet check before they move.
Can I pick up my puppy in person?
Yes. Pickup is free and done by appointment. Bring a collar, leash, a towel or blanket, and a crate for the car ride. We will go over records, feeding, and any last questions with you.
Do you ship puppies?
We offer ground delivery with a pet transport driver, or a flight nanny who carries your puppy in the airplane cabin to the nearest major airport. The cost is quoted by distance and paid by the buyer.
Every puppy travels with a health certificate from a licensed vet, and delivery is usually arranged within 3 to 7 days after the balance is paid. Visit our pickup and delivery page for more.
What comes home with my puppy?
Each puppy goes home with its vaccination and deworming records, the vet health check, the 12 month health guarantee, our nutrition manual and care guide, play toys, and AKC registration application paperwork.
