"I have had the pleasure of caring for Stacie & Jere’s dogs for more than 10 years now. They are meticulous in their care of their dogs as well as in their research of breeding lines. Careful selection has led to gorgeous healthy happy dogs with sweet, safe, and intelligent temperaments. Stacie and Jere go the extra mile to help and educate their owners so they can provide the best care for their new puppy whether destined for the show ring or a champion of your heart."

"Stacie and Jere set the standard for all dog breeders and dog owners. We recently adopted a puppy from Knudtsen’s Great Danes and it was, and continues to be, one of the best experiences we’ve ever had.  Stacie and Jere are very careful with their breedings and always ensure that they maintain the highest quality and best temperament in their dogs.  They have expert knowledge of all aspects of raising, breeding and showing Great Danes and eagerly share that knowledge with their puppy families.  Before and after we adopted our puppy Stacie and Jere have provided us with continuing support and guidance that exceeded our highest expectations.

Prior to getting our puppy, we were provided with a new puppy information packet which included recommended reading, supplies and sources, essential feeding, obedience and health tips.  Stacie and Jere were and continue to always be available for questions and advice.  We feel like we are better prepared to successfully raise our puppy than we were for our children. 

From even before the puppies were born Stacie and Jere  were dedicated to giving them the best possible start.  Gabbie, the mother, was always lovingly cared for and has a wonderful temperament and was an excellent mother to her puppies.  She was bred with a beautiful male who has qualities that compliment Gabbie’s.  The puppies were lovingly nurtured in a beautiful area in Stacie and Jere’s home, they were never left alone, and were properly socialized to sounds, people, grooming, and many other experiences that made them all wonderful little, well adjusted puppies.  Stacie an Jere did a fantastic job identifying what families to place the puppies with.  All of the puppies have adapted very well, and are learning very quickly.

After adopting a puppy from Jere and Stacie we feel completely confident that we will have a wonderful companion and successful show and therapy dog.  We highly recommend Stacie and Jere to anyone considering adopting a Great Dane.  They are truly the BEST, and we love them!

"Stacie and Jere are knowledgeable and caring breeders who always put the welfare of their bitch above all other concerns."

"I have known Stacie and Jere since 1998 and have always found them to be asset  to the Great Dane breed.  They are careful, responsible and caring breeders and owners, and take wonderful care of their dogs."

"I have had the pleasure of attending to some of Stacie's puppies.   Stacie tirelessly puts forth tremendous effort in raising and caring for her Danes. She wants them to have the best of everything, and it shows in the quality of dogs she produces."

"I can't say enough good things about my experience having adopted my new pup from Stacie and Jere.  This is my first Dane, and I have many questions and concerns about raising her just right, socializing her, and having her be a healthy, happy, well-adjusted pooch.  From day 1, Stacie has been available and willing to answer any question at all that I have, no matter how big or small.  She organized a "Facebook puppy page" before the puppies were even born, and constantly added new photos every day, and a new video every week, so that those of us who were getting a puppy could be constantly updated on their progress.  I feel so lucky to have found the Knudtsens, and so grateful to have their constant support, as well as access to their extensive knowledge in regards to raising such a wonderful breed of dog"

I have owned large breed dogs my whole life have learned by trial and error what makes a ‘good breeder.’  Things that used to make me think a breeder was too picky and had too long of a waiting list (years) now I respect as a breeder who is doing what is best for their dogs and not for their pocket books.

My first show Great Dane was co-bred out of state with Stacie Knudtsen.  She answered all my questions from the tiniest little ones about what shampoos to lending an ear with my big worries when, in almost in tears, I found a lump on my girl’s stomach (benign mammary tissue).

When you find a breeder that continues to love and feel a responsibility to that pup, even after they leave their home, new solid friendships are established based on mutual respect and trust.

When we where ready to add another Dane to our family their was not question as to where to get him from.
