As for
Courtney, you couldn’t pick a better breeder. I am not saying this
because of my dog purchasing experience. I have known Courtney since
1985 in high school. We were extremely close for many, many years and I
still consider her one of my best friends and favorite people even
though we don’t see each other very often. I remember her first
Harlequin, Disney. I was there when she got her second, Bismark. I
helped her get her Italian/German stud, Shiner…the father of my
Bentley. So I am qualified to speak on her behalf. I have watched her
with animals for 20 years and you could not find a better friend to the
animal kingdom. She is truly amazing with dogs and is a champion for
the dane nation. I wouldn’t buy any dane without her
help/guidance/insight.
As for
her breeding skills, she is unmatched. She did “make” me my man Bentley
(haha) who is, by the way, the coolest dane you will ever see. He is a
show marked mantle with the most amazing personality. He lives here in
Orlando and has a “brother” my 5 year old Chesapeake retriever, Peish
(named by my then 2 yr old goddaughter Hannah). They run, play, swim in
my backyard all day long. He then jumps back in the pool one last time
for a quick bath before coming in to be dried off for some quality time
with me. He is the best cuddler ever. Sooooo smart, sooooo sweet,
soooo athletic and would protect me from anything. I absolutely adore
him.
He
is 7 months old, over 120 lbs and an amazing athlete. He actually jumps
into the pool like those dogs on tv in the competitions. It is really
funny to watch. If you have time go check him out on MySpace. (www.myspace.com/bentleydane).
There are some cool videos on there and I will update frequently with
more pictures/vids. There is a fairly large dane community on MySpace.
Perhaps you should get yours up and running when you get Ava.
I have a
wonderful dog that I got from Courtney Cobbs. She's a great
person
and breeder.
When I
first called her about getting a Dane from her, she asked me a hundred
questions. Like,
What was
I going to do with the dog, was it going to be an outside dog, did I
plan on breeding?
If I
were ever going to get another dog, it would be from Courtney. She's
great, and she
loves
her dogs and she loves the breed. She will do everything there is to do
if you
need any
kind of help.
I got my
dog almost 2 1/2 years ago when I live in Arkansas. My dog--Amos,
is now a
full grown dog. I took him to the vet a couple of months ago to have him
weighted
and he weighed in at 243lbs. He is not fat at all, he's just very big. I
just had to tell
Courtney
what the vet had said. She was so shocked about his weight, they usually
do not get this
large.
Amos has a wonderful temperment, and a great companion.
I hope
that you give Courtney a chance to show you what good breeders are all
about. I feel
so sorry
for you and the problems that you have had with a very bad breeder.
Those are the
kind
that should not be in business.
Courtney
and her dogs will once again bring happiness to your home and heart.

I have a
pup from Courtney's litter. first of all, courtney has been terrific
with all my questions, being a first time puppy mom. but we have Andre
(formerly known as Bacchus) and he his extremely healthy and energetic.
we did keep him in the house with my husband and I until he had all his
shots and stuff....besides potty breaks and walks thru the city. I was
very cautious of what and who Andre was exposed to. not that I had to
worry too much as I was confident that courtney brought up healthy
pups. (I was just paranoid
)
just
want you to rest assured that I and I'm sure many others have never had
any reason to complain about the service and professionalism that
courtney gave as we prepared our lives for our new baby. but I do have
to say, she will MAKE SURE that YOU are qualified to have one of her
babies. which should make you feel really good.
thanks
for your time.

Hi my name is Iris and I purchased a puppy from Courtney from her March
litter. We love Samson and what makes him wonderful is his temperament
and beauty. This is our 2nd great Dane so we knew exactly what we
wanted. Courtney was great to work with. Kept in touch with us through
the whole process. We were a little afraid of buying through the
internet but everything was on the up-and-up.
If you have any other questions email back and don't hesitate. Samson
is now 7 months old and is 130lbs.
I don't have any recent pictures of Samson uploaded but you can see he
has beautiful blue eyes and he is wonderful with my three children
7,5,1.

Yes, as
Courtney has told you we took a very long, but worth while drive to AR.
Adam and I were able to spend time with all of the pups, along with
Shiner and Sachet during our trip. Both Shiner and Sachet had great
temperaments (the best we have seen in any breed of dog) along with the
pups. We remember Dalton, and he was very sweet, healthy looking, and
energetic just like all of the others. We highly recommend you adding
one of Courtney's pups to your family; it was obvious to see that
she takes pride in what she does.
It is
hard to express everything via email, please feel free to call us for
more information.

Well...All I have to say is that you won't be disappointed with
Courtney's pups. We have a Male Mantle of her litter out of Shiner and
Paris. Where ever we take Trooper he is a hit. Most people's first
remarks are "OH MY GOD!!!! That is the biggest most beautiful dog I have
ever seen". He is a show stopper where we go!!!!!!
The best part about getting one of Courtney's dogs is her responsiveness
and honesty when asking questions or voicing any concerns. I keep in
touch constantly with her and I NEVER get tired of talking Danes with
her. I personally would not have a problem purchasing another Dane from
her in the future and probably plan on doing so when my elder Dalmatians
pass on. I have really gotten into the dog scene recently (i.e.: shows,
obedience, joining the local kennel club etc) I have developed quite a
network of fellow Dane an dog people and Courtney is right about the
health guarantees. You can take every precaution to breed the most
healthy Dane possible but bottom line there are no absolute guarantees.
The most important thing is to find a breeder whom you can trust that
does not breed indiscriminately and breeds for health and temperament
and I believe you have found that in Courtney.
Picture of our Trooper who just received his CGC and is a star performer
in his obedience classes! Send pictures of Dalton!!! I want to see.
He now has his Rally Novice

Hi Courtney,
My name is Kelly. I live in Southern California and know Melanie
Musella. I had the chance to meet Gracie (aka Fancy). She is a
gorgeous dog with a great personality. I thought you should know
that. I have also been looking into the breed and I am hoping to have
my own Great Dane some day. I am currently in college and cannot have
a dog, but I am hoping in the next couple of years I will be in the
position to have one. I am looking way into the future here but I was
hoping to get some more information about the breed from you and find
out more about your dogs, as I have seen one that I love and Melanie
is so happy with her and you. Thanks and I hope you don't have the
same heat wave we do.

My name is Melanie Musella and I live in Southern
California. After doing lots of research on-line, I decided to purchase
my first Great Dane puppy from Courtney. She was fantastic to work with
from the very beginning, up until the puppy arrived to us on the
airplane, and especially now. She answered all of my MANY questions and
made sure that I was matched with a puppy that was right for our
family. We now have "Gracie", she is 4 months old and has been a
wonderful addition to the family. Thanks again to Courtney for making
this puppy buying experience WELL WORTH IT!

Hi Courtney,
Glad to hear from you. GIGI (Giselle) is doing great.
Our vet said that that we got GIGI from an excellent
breeder because she was so pretty, clean and healthy. I told him he
should see the breeder (Don’t get me in trouble with your husband). We
did take GIGI to PET SMART to let here do a little shopping and everyone
had a fit over her. One lady talked about how straight here legs were
and said she would be a good show dog. Any way I am looking forward to
getting the male. At work we have a lot of work coming up in September
so I should get a lot of overtime so I can start sending you some money
and if I can I’ll send you some before then. Thanks for the update and
please keep me posted.

Courtney I have to thank you for everything you did to get our little
girl to us, especially after the disappointing experience we had before
we found you. You are truly a Dane lover in every sense of the word and
you have a wealth of information to offer regarding this wonderful
breed. Your first and foremost interest is that of the puppy, which
tells the buyer that these babies have been loved and cared for as
members of your own family, and it shows. They are even more beautiful
in person. Now, to the buyer or as I like to think of it, we the
“adoptive parents” you are an incredible resource. Your word is as good
as gold, and you speak honestly and from the heart. You are more then
just a breeder/seller, in the time that we have spoken, I found you to
be a very caring person for both the puppy and the buyer. You go out of
your way to make sure both are accommodated. It didn’t matter how many
times I called and/or emailed you with questions, I still got that
friendly voice at the other end of the phone or the great response via
email. I thank God we found you and you can believe when we get our
second Dane it will come from nowhere else! I would recommend you to
anyone that is looking to make this beautiful animal a member of their
family.
