This litter was a joint venture between Jazzebella Great Danes of Queensland and Stordansk Great Danes of New South Wales. Chilli's dam is 7 times Australian Champion Daneforce Grand Tsunami ( Keisha) and she is owned by Narelle Reynolds of Jazzebella Great Danes, she is the top winning harlequin Great Dane in Queensland, and she is also the last daughter of Speck still competing in the ring.
This was our third attempt with frozen semen for Keisha and finally she presented us with 12 beautiful puppies, the biggest litter of frozen Great Dane pups born in Australia. I kept Chilli and Narelle kept her brother and sister and yet a third sister is in a show home.
The future looks bright for Chilli and her siblings and if everything goes well, Chilli will be bred to her Great Grandfather Speck's frozen semen in approximately 3 years time.
