About Us

My kennel name is DROGHEDA (pronounced drŏg · hē · duh), taken from the name of the sheep station in the book The Thorn Birds. I liked the name, no other reason; yeah, it is kind of hard to pronounce and spell if you are not familiar with it.

My husband and I raise Great Danes, primarily fawns and brindles, in the Austin, Texas area. My Great Dane bloodlines consist of the best of American and Canadian pedigrees. I show these awesome critters and my husband drives us to the shows. When necessary he will even take a dog in the ring for me.

I hope that you will enjoy seeing pictures of the Great Danes that condescend to live in our home with us, pictures of other Danes that I own or co-own, and photographs of those that have gone on ahead of us.

The Drogheda breeding program is based upon outstanding health clearances of beautiful dogs with correct and sound movement.

I hope you enjoy the picture pedigree database attached for every dog (Tuesday's, for example).

For more information please feel free to contact me by phone or by email.
