Welcome to the home site of Cynthia "Cindee"
Carlson and Esquire Great Danes.
Esquire Great Danes is a small boutique
breeder in Eastern Washington state. We focus on harlequin and mantle great danes, primarily as companions and
beloved family members and second as potential show dogs. Founded in 1994, we breed sparingly, perhaps having one litter
every year or two. We have had particular success showing our natural-eared danes to their championships, although we
have bred, shown and finished danes with cropped ears as well. Our home is on rural farmland in a beautiful area called
the Palouse. We currently have 6 great danes gracing our home, several of whom are older. Our menagerie
also includes 2 black Clydesdale mares with chrome (one of whom is in foal to a gorgeous Gypsy Vanner stallion, with
her baby due in early July, 2010), 2 Morgan mares and 5 cats. Cindee, the person behind Esquire Great Danes, has retired
from her equity partnership as a business litigation attorney in a multi-state, multi-country law firm (she practiced
in the San Francisco Bay Area) and, after returning to the university, has earned her doctorate degree in veterinary
medicine from the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine. We are passionate about our danes, and about all
of our animals. The occasional puppies we have available go to well-scrutinized homes, and we take steps to stay in
touch with their owners and remain involved in their lives. Any litter here is of course whelped in our home. Cindee
stays 'round the clock with mom and babies for many weeks, sleeping with the mom and litter in the whelping box until
all eyes are open and then relocating to a bed in the same room. The Veterinary Teaching Hospital at WSU is
only a short drive from our home, providing excellent emergency and routine care for all of our animals when necessary.
Please take a look around and enjoy
your visit. This site is new and under construction, so please bear with us.
What's New?
Esquire Great Danes anticipates
a harlequin to harlequin litter in late March or very early April 2010. We will confirm the pregnancy by ultrasound
at the end of February. Check back in March if you would like further information about this breeding, which has taken
place.
