Jan,
Thank you so much. Delivery went off without a hitch. Please thank your sister for bringing her down. She was such a good traveler. I had a couple of names picked out, but had to see her to decide. Her name is Lucy. She is adjusting well. She follows me like a shadow, such a little baby. She is wonderful. She is a cuddler. Thank you again. I will send pics and keep you updated on her progress.

Jan,
Thanks for the reply. Any news on Daisy and Sebastian’s next litter? Also, curious if Goliath is going to be the father of any litters this coming fall?
Duke is 160 lbs of joy. He is the tallest Great Dane we have ever come across, he is so large and handsome he leaves people staring with their mouths wide open. He goes everywhere with us and loves attention from adoring fans. Shane and I are expecting a baby in June and we know Duke will be great with a child. Great Danes are such a wonderful dog we are strongly considering getting one of Goliaths puppies in the fall once things calm down a little with the new baby.
Thank you,
Carrie

Hi, this is Bret Crandell and we received a fawn male from you right before
Christmas. I just wanted to let you know that Kargo is doing great and we love
him to death! He has been to two out of three vet appointments and the vet said
he looks perfectly healthy. We can't believe how fast he is growing. He was
about 13 pounds when we got him and is currently well over 30. It's quite a job
carrying him up or down the stairs when he is feeling afraid, and I'm sure next
month will be twice as difficult! He rarely has an accident, and when he does I
think the poor thing feels bad about it. Since we didn't opt for the papers, do
you know what exact day he was born on? Just curious for our and the vet's
records. Everyone who sees him loves him and jokes that they are going to steal
him. I have had a few people who were interested in getting a dane ask me about
him. I told them to check out your website. If I hear of anyone else, I'll send
them your way. Thanks again!! Bret
Hello there!
We love our puppy... so far named Rocky... he's an absolute joy; and already
getting better overnight and being potty trained. Going outside well! He
definitely doesn't like the cold though! Please thank Kris for me... what a
sweetheart! Oh, and thanks so much for the blanket for him! Its been well used.
Hailey (my 4 yr old daughter) absolutely loves him and is a great help with him.
I'll send you some pictures as I get my camera fixed up that I got for
Christmas!! He's definitely loved and in good hands here... thank you so much!
Sorry about the delay in email, but over that holiday time our power and
everything was wiped out, and I just got our computer connection running again.
I'll try to send you emails periodically about the puppy...Thanks again!
Love,
The Kalamaras Family
Hello Jan,
I wanted to apologize for not getting this letter to you sooner.
We wanted to Thank You so much for our puppy. We love him so much and have gotten so many compliments on him.
I took him in today to get a weight check for his heart worm and he is now a whopping 42pds.
I wanted to tell you our vet told us to feed him apples and
carrots to help with the growth of his bones. He loves them.
We can't believe how smart he is. He has picked
up on everything we teach him that day.
It's awesome!!
Thank you again if you ever need anyone to ever
call us to ask about our puppy we got from
you it's not a problem. We will send pictures
soon.
Can you send me the picture of his dad again
to keep on file to compare?
Thank you again

My name is Carrie, and I am writing to inquirer about Sebastian and Daisy’s next litter. My husband and I bought a puppy from you last year (September 28, 2003 litter). Our dog (Duke) is such a quality boy that one of our very best friends cannot live without one of his own. So, he was wondering when your next litter is and when he could reserve a male. I am always telling him how beautiful your dogs are so I was wondering if you had any pictures of Sebastian? I showed him Daisy on your website.
Also, I was wondering if you had any business cards that you could send me. I constantly get questions on where we got such a quality boy.
I attached a picture so you could see the three of us. I can’t explain to you how loved this dog is by all who know him. He is 16 months old now and weights 161 pounds. He is an absolute joy to live with. We are considering getting another one in the spring but this time I want one of Goliaths puppies, he is truly magnificent.
So, if you could call or email with any information on Sebastian and Daisy’s next litter we can let our friend know a time frame for his puppy.
Thank you,
Carrie

Hey ]an.
Well in reference to the way that you and myself communicated, was great. You
anwered all my questions with detail and quickeness. If any one was to ask me
where i purchased my pup from I would without second thought recommend you and
River Valley Ranch.
The shipping process for shipping a great dane pup was not as hard as I thought.
The person shipping the pup needs the purchasers contact information and mailing
address. Depending on the weather is the main issue.
The shipping of the pup is completely safe through the air.
Let me know if you need anything else or if this is good enough.

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED OUR FIRST DANE FROM JAN AND TONY IN THE SPRING OF
2003.
WHAT A WELL ADJUSTED AND AFFECTIONATE PUPPY SHE WAS, AND IS AN AWESOME DOG NOW.
WE THEN GOT OUR SECOND DANE IN JULY AND AGAIN COULDN'T OF DONE BETTER ELSEWHERE,
CONCERNING DOG AND BREEDER. i HAD A LITTLE PROBLEM PAYING MY BILL, AND JAN ONLY
KNOWING ME FROM OUR FEW CONVERSATIONS FOR OUR ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE FIRST DOG
WAS WONDERFUL ABOUT WAITING FIVE MONTH'S TO GET THE REMAINDER OF HER MONEY,
NEVER ONCE SAID WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO PAY. NOT SAYING SHE WOULD WANT TO MAKE A
PRACTICE OF ALLOWING PEOPLE TO BE DELINQUENT OR MAKE PAYMENTS CAUSE SHE HAS TO
PAY HER BILLS ALSO, BUT SHE HAS A GREAT COOPERATIVE AND UNDERSTANDING
PERSONALITY, THAT'S A RARE QUALITY TO FIND IN BUSINESS PEOPLE. JAN, I KNOW,
THINKS OF HER PETS AND THE HOME THEIR GOING TO, BEFORE SHE PROCEEDS, WHICH MAKES
HER ALL THE MORE REASON I FOR ONE WOULD WANT TO DO BUSINESS WITH THIS TYPE OF
FAMILY. SINCERELY JAMIE FERGUSON

MY EXPERIENCE DEALING WITH RIVER VALLEY RANCH AND JAN HAS BEEN A VERY
ENJOYABLE AND REWARDING ONE. I HAVE RECEIVED THE BEST PUP I HAVE EVER OWNED
FROM JAN AND AM EXPECTING ANOTHER VERY SOON FROM HER DOGS. SHE IS VERY EASY
TO GET IN CONTACT WITH AND YOU CAN TELL THAT SHE IS IN LOVE WITH THE BREED
AND ESPECIALLY HER DOGS. IF I WERE EVER TO NEED ANY QUESTION ANSWERED, JAN
WOULD BE RIGHT THERE WITH HELP. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANY OF MY FRIENDS
AND/OR ANYONE LOOKING TO ADOPT A DANE INTO THEIR LIFE.

To Whom this Concerns,
I have known Jan Wenick for 2 years and have breed my Great Dane Sebastian with
her
numerous times. Jan is a very responsible breeder and very caring and nurturing
with the dogs. I
have no problem leaving Sebastian with her for breeding or even to show him to
prospective buyers. She is very easy to work with and very fair with everything
to do with the breeding process. I know she is like myself and is very dedicated
to this breed and their well being. She has a big heart, just as the Gentle
Giants she raises.

Dear Jan,
I just thought that I would drop you a few lines and tell you how much I
appreciated the great service from you. I totally love the puppy that I
purchased from you and continue to grow fonder and fonder of her with each day
that passes. I wanted to tell you how amazed that I was on how clean your
facility was with all of the animals that you have. Your dogs looked very well
taken care of and clean. I would highly recommend you to anyone that is looking
for a beautiful Great Dane pup. Keep up the great work and keep in touch. I have
a feeling that we will be purchasing another pup really soon.
Sincerely,

Dear Jan,
Things are going great!!!! She's really good at going to the bathroom outside.
We all just
love her to pieces!!!!!!!!! Couldn't have made a better choice for a pet. She
will be well loved and well taken care of Her and my daughter are really getting
acquainted quite well. I came home last night from work to find the two of them
cuddle together in My bed. She sleeps
with Shad and I for now. We'll have to see how we will accomplish this at a
later time. She is such a beautiful dog!!! We have named her Joxen. That's
Shad's doing. I will keep in touch and keep you posted. Thanks again for
everything. I so much appreciate everything that you have done for me.
