At Dusty Trail Danes, we celebrate the rich tapestry of family and tradition that brings joy and warmth to our lives. Nestled in Las Vegas, our multigenerational household is filled with laughter from six children and the playful energy of nine grandchildren—all of whom share a deep bond with our beloved Great Danes. Raised under the watchful eyes of a dedicated family, these magnificent dogs are more than just pets; they are cherished members of our household. With over 30 years of experience in breeding, training, and caring for Great Danes, we take great pride in continuing the legacy of our trailblazing mother, who was a pioneering veterinarian in the 1970s. Her passion for animals inspired our family to nurture and train these gentle giants, creating an environment where love and respect flourish. Our father, a Texas hog hunter, taught us the importance of companionship through his work with Great Danes, making our first steps as children alongside these loyal companions. Our commitment to the breed is recognized through our AKC Breeder of Merit status and being named the UKC Breeder of the Year in 2022, but it’s the joy of sharing this experience with our family—and the ability to pass it on to the next generation—that truly makes our work fulfilling. Whether attending prestigious dog shows like Westminster, participating in AKC award events, or simply enjoying a day at home, we cultivate a loving environment that embodies our passion for Great Danes and deep family ties. Join us at Dusty Trail Danes, where every Great Dane is part of our family story.
My love for Great Danes runs deep—passed down through generations. My mother was a veterinarian in the 1970s, blazing trails in a male-dominated field. She’d come home each night with stories from a world that didn’t expect a woman in a white coat, but she thrived anyway. My father was a hog hunter in Texas, working the land with his loyal Great Danes. I learned to walk holding onto their strong backs—and now, so have my children. Today, my family and I continue that legacy in Las Vegas, raising Great Danes with care, purpose, and passion. We've shown in Westminster and AKC events, earned the AKC Breeder of Merit, and were honored as UKC Great Dane Ambassador Award. This isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are.
