So. This is very hard to write. I have been struggling with this decision for a bit.
But I have come to realize I have given my whole life to my dogs and in doing so forgot to live.
I'm looking at turning 66 at the end of the month. Quite honestly I am not in the best of health. We have never been on a vacation together. Our entire life together, 30 years, has revolved around the dogs and the kennel. I put everything I had into breeding and raising the very best dogs I could. Health and temperament being as important as beauty.
Missing many get-togethers. Weddings, graduations, births, funerals.
Life is never guaranteed and there are far more years behind me than in front.
It's been an awesome ride.
We have met so many incredible people and many we have considered dear friends and family.
We have new puppies
These will be the last Penrose Great Dane litters. I cannot tell you how difficult that is to write. Much less wrap my mind around it.
We will also be looking for homes for our remaining Danes.

Some are already spayed and neutered. Some will need to be. Varying ages.
It makes more sense for the dogs to try to place them in loving homes.
There will be no adoption fee for the adults to any previous adopters in good standing.
I will work on getting a complete list and pictures over the next couple weeks.
My Danes have been the center of my world for over half my life.
This decision has not come easy however it is the best choice for the situation.
So please if you have negative thoughts, keep them to yourself and just scroll on by.
