Kyle and Jennifer,
I can’t begin to express the joy CKälvehn (Kelvin) has been in my life. I seriously have found a missing piece to my puzzle. He has the most amazing personality and is so calm and laid back. I can honestly count on one hand the amount of times I’ve actually heard this little guy bark. Even when other dogs are aggressive towards him, he keeps his cool and brushes it off as to say “am I suppose to be scared” lol. He is the talk of the block! Neighbors that didn’t even acknowledge me before, meet me at the end of their driveways everyday on our walks- excited to see and play with him. The staff at the local Petco, know him on a first name basis and have overly spoiled him with ridiculous amounts of treats. He went to the vet yesterday and weighed in at a stunning 43lbs, that’s exactly 20lbs heavier from him initial check up. Growing so fast. I’ve attached some of my favorite pictures of him, most of them when he is sleeping because he snores like a 300lb man. Instead of buying him a cage we converted one of our walk in closets into his room and put a gate on it so he can look out into the bedroom at night. He sleeps soundly through the night and sleeps in until about 8:30am, and then he’s a little rocket for the rest of the day. He goes to Grandma’s house (lol) while I’m at work and so he has 24/7 TLC and has become quite rotten behind it. He loves going hiking with us and has officially claimed the backseat as his territory lol. My poor friend, end up sitting in the trunk of my jeep lol- No worries it was a short distance. He loves sleeping under the tree in the shade, sun bathing on the patio and any opportunity to sit in the backseat with the windows down. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! He is more than worth it. I was wondering if you all could send me his puppy picture? As I’ve started a puppy book for him and wanted to use it as the front picture. Will keep you updated!

We recently bought a puppy from Exquisite Danes, and we will only purchase from them in the future! They spent a great deal of time with us on the phone, and did not get pushy like other breeders. They answered all of my questions, and provided a lot of information about the breed. They are very knowledgeable about the breed, and only breed the best lines. We met all of their dogs and they where all very friendly and playful. Our puppy is very healthy, happy, well adjusted, and clean. She came with a very nice puppy packet that has everything you will ever need and then some! Look NO Further!

Feel confident with this conscientious breeder. Exquisite Danes offer good quality great danes and healthy puppies. I bought a Harlequin girl from them, she is beautiful and going to grow to be quite stunning. Our puppy has a great personality, she's a very loving girl, loves to meet new dogs and people, and loves to be cuddle. She was started on Potty Training and Crate Training by them. Jennifer and Kyle gave us a great service, they took the time to answer all of our questions, and sent pictures and pedigree of the Sire and Dam, with champions on their bloodlines. The puppy came with the AKC registration and a Vet Health check. Payment through Paypal, so is secure. Recommended,

Jennifer Thank you very much for this girl, she's even more beautiful in person, and what a great temperament. Also thanks for your great service and communication. Whenever you need a recommendation feel free to give them my email, it was a very good transaction and my girl was a great add to my family, everybody loves her.

I have now purchased 2 danes from the Mennings and absolutely love working with this family. They take the time to do things right. I know when i get a dog from them that not only is the dog a high quality animal with clean blood lines, it's healthy, well cared for, and socialized, but i also know the things that i can't see are done with just as much dedication to maintaining the dane breed such as the care their dogs receive before they ever get to you, the online and on the phone assistance the Menning's offer in the way of answering questions,sending you updated pictures, and so much more. They are extremely cooperative and flexible and willing to put in as much effort into finding the right home as they are creating the perfect dog. We fully intend to continue to purchase our danes from the Menning family in the future. Reviewer: Sara

Dear Jennifer,
Our new addition to our family completes our now three dog family. He has beautiful markings and has learned his
name and many other things right away. He is the sweetest little boy and has brought much laughter into our house
already. We couldn't have wanted a better experience finding it absolutely wonderful how compassionate and sincere
your attitude towards Breeding Great Danes is. We will recommend you to anybody looking for a Great Dane, there
is no better Breeder out there then you guys.
Thank you, Judy and Kris
Jennifer and Kyle - I wanted to let you know that we received Tiffany as scheduled. She greeted us with an
enthusiastic tail wagging. She was treated to a bath and then wisked off to the Vet. where she passed her checkup with
"flying colors". She is quite the character and quite an affectionate girl. Thanks again for your professionalism in dealing with us. We are most pleased! I will update you regularly on her progress. She is loved by all and our other dogs have taken a liking to her as well.
Thanks again! Maureen
Jennifer,
Alibi is the most outstanding, and superior Dane we have ever owned! I am constantly reminding myself that she is
yet to be even 4 months old because she has the manners of a well trained adult. With very minimal training she has
mastered all the basic commands and skills (sit, lay down, go lay down [on her bed], come, watch me and leave it) and
she is crate trained, potty trained, and plays fetch very well. The most impressive however, is how quickly she
learned to be cautious and gentle around my 5 month old daughter! She has become the official baby sitter! She will
lay in Braelyn's doorway keeping an eye on her while she plays, getting up only to go give her a sniff and a kiss once
and awhile. My husband and I are so thrilled to know what great friends they will become over the years, she is the
perfect first dog for our daughter. Aside from her exceptional intelligence and temperament, she is absolutely
stunning! From the moment we walk out our door with her, we are showered with compliments. She is growing up so
nicely, perfectly built, strong, healthy, large and beautiful. Everything about Alibi is a true testament to a quality
Great Dane breeder. You wouldn't have to have an expert eye to see how well breed she is and what kind of time and
effort was put into carefully producing such a quality representation of the breed. We have worked with some other
very nice breeders in the past, but hands down you are our top recommendation to any prospective Great Dane
parents, show or pet. I cant thank you enough for bringing Alibi into our lives, she is everything we could ever hope
for, and working with you was such a pleasure.

Dear Jennifer,
Our puppy we received from you is the smartest Great Dane I've ever met.
He is stunning and will be a nice big boy and very well build, well
proportioned... beauty & brains. Who could ask for anything more!! He is
obedient, house trained right away & enjoys visits at the dog park with all
sizes of dogs. He is gentle with children of all ages. There are few
breeders I would recommend but you are definitely at the top of my list!
Thank you for allowing us to add this wonderful pup into our family. He is
growing into a very exquisite representation of his breed!
Ms. Jenn,
It's been a while since I check in with you about Rufus.. He is doing
wonderful!! We love his personality he brings so much life to our
home.. At his last vet appt he weighted in at 60lbs.. Healthy as an
OX.. He is such a snuggler & a momma's boy.. We adore him, & now
are seriously considering getting one more.. So we were curious when
your next batch will be.. This time we would really want a black &
white one.. I've attached a few pictures of Rufus for you!!
Respectfully,
Mrs. Niki Coffey
I just wanted to thank you for such great puppies....
they are an absolute joy...smart, fun and lovable..
great personalities....I couldn't have asked for anything more!
I'm so glad that we got two.

Hi Jenn, I wanted to let you and the world know how happy I am with my brindle pup Royce! I got Royce
on April 1st 2009, she traveled by plane from Vancouver to Atlanta GA! I was worried about how Royce may act
since I had never met her before, I was even worried how she may look in person since I had only
seen pics via internet. Well as soon as I saw Royce it was love at first site! She came out of the crate and gave me
a big drooly Dane kiss. Royce had no issues adjusting to her new environment other than the hot GA weather she
loves ice cubes on hot days lol! I am extremely happy. With her looks and temperament, she loves my 6month
old twin boys and all the kids in the neighborhood just adore her! I am a certified dog trainer and I can tell Jenn
has really worked on socializing Royce, which some breeders do Very little of or not at all. 2weeks after I got
Royce she was entered in her first show a match she won her class and best Dane! Then a month later I showed
her in a point show and she won her class both days she was entered the 6-9puppy bitch. I have had so many
compliments from Dane breeders. And even the president of our local Dane club was very impressed with Royce's
good looks she came up to me and started stacking her and asked where did you get this pup she is really nice?
And I proudly said Exquisite Danes! I am so happy with my purchase of Royce! So everyone keep your eyes open
for Denise's Rolls Royce Of Exquisite A.K.A Royce she will be shown at the Great Dane National this year!
Royce is 7months old and 97 pounds she's a big girl ! Thank you again Jenn I am so happy you entrusted me with
this lovely brindle bitch!
Sincerely Denise Brooks
We are all doing good....Meya is doing really well too :0) We did take her today to her check up exam and the Vet
said she looks really good and healthy :0) YAY!!
We just got back from a walk and now she is pooped LOL.
She walked on it like she has been walking on it for years!! We just ran to Target after our walk and we left her
out with the back door cracked opened and she did GREAT! No accidents...as long as the back door is opened
then she acts like she is completely potty trained :0)
My hubby acts like she is older LOL since she is being and doing so well..I am like yes she is but just remember
she is only 9 weeks so she does have puppy intentions in her HA HA!!
I purchased an 8 week old male Great Dane from Jennifer right after Christmas. He is the third purebred dog I
have owned. I have a Golden Retriever and had a lab. Those dogs were wonderful and bred by responsible
breeders, but Jenn has surpassed those breeders in many ways.
My Dane is the easiest puppy I have raised. He has a wonderful temperament, is patient, and learns quickly. He
interacts well with my Golden, other dogs, and all family members and visitors. He wants to please and quickly
became a member of the family. I know that the breeding lines and the socialization he received with Jenn’s family
and her dogs provided the foundation for his quick adjustment and positive behavior. Potty training was easy!
He is clearly the smartest dog I have owned and I think that must be attributed to responsible breeding decisions.
We are in a puppy obedience class, and things that took a long while for my other dogs to respond to consistently,
like coming when I call, he has demonstrated much more consistently.
Jenn continues to provide support. She has given me sound advice about training and maintenance of my Dane. I
know I can rely on her for advice if needed, and that she cares about the welfare of the dogs she has bred. She
prioritizes the wellbeing of dogs her kennel has produced. It is interesting that people unfamiliar with the breed
assume that dogs the size of a Dane must be so challenging that they would not consider owning one. I am glad I
did not follow that advice. I would strongly recommend purchasing a dog from Jenn Powers.

I recently purchased a Great Dane puppy through Jennifer Powers, from her kennel, known as Exquisite Great
Danes. From the first email I sent and even now, months after the sale of my great Dane puppy, Jennifer has been
a pleasure to do business with. She is honest, reliable and prompt. I can't say enough about her, it is apparent
through her dogs, they are bred to the AKC standard, they have beautiful conformations and personalities to
match. I researched many Great Dane breeders before I found Jennifer. I chose her because she has the best
quality dogs, they have heavy champion bloodlines, my dog was champion sired, and Jennifer was easy to talk to.
Other breeders don't offer the same high quality, affordability and timely response. I was very reassured to know
she cared about her show dogs as much as I care about my pets, her dogs live inside and are apart of her family.
Not like a lot of breeders with kennels outside, where the dogs do not get socialized or loved. Also important to
me was to feel comfortable with an Internet purchase, I am in NY and she was in WA. Well, I felt like she lived
next door, she was very accommodating, I was able to see many pictures of the sire and dam and the puppy I was
interested in. You can also see pedigrees of whomever you want on her website, which is important. Jennifer is
very knowledgeable, dedicated to the Great Dane breed, and that made her stand apart from the rest. After my
puppy arrived, safely I might add, my mother wants to get one from her too now!

Tillman is a sweetheart! Everyone says 'WOW! He is so big!' but I think he doesn't seem that large because he is
just so gentle. There are a lot of smaller dogs in our neighborhood, and Tillman wants to be friends with all of them.
At mealtime, Tillman will wait on that little rug until someone (me or one of the kids) tell him to 'go ahead!' He is
so smart and training him has been a lot of fun. I never grew up with a dog, so I have bonded with Tillman. He's
sweet and beautiful. He's very healthy and we plan to get him neutered in January.
Thank you so much for our puppy!

Hi, I just wanted to send you some pictures of my puppy. He is now bigger then his Dalmatian brother. He has
been great! He is getting more spots which I didn't know they could. So people mistake him for a Dalmatian a lot.
He is a well known favorite at the barn I go to and one of our horses has taken to him, they give each other
kisses. He also follows us out when we go out on trail. I call him my little dork and he fits in great with all of us.
Thank you again! I will send you some more pictures when he grows a little more.

Samson Thor-What a Love.
The puppy we purchased from Jenn is amazing. Samson is smart, sweet, and by far
is a 100% perfect Great Dane! Beautiful markings. Great dog from an Excellent
Breeder. I love my Samson, he is such a spunky, healthy, and I swear human like
puppy. Such a character. He is social and potty trained easy. Fits right into
our family. I can hardly wait to get another puppy from Jenn, she was a
wonderful seller and she really cares about her puppies and who she sales them
to. I love my Great Dane puppy!!

impressive dogs :)
We put a deposit on one of Jenns dogs. They are the nicest people and their
dogs are very impressive. The color markings are beautiful and they are huge!
We could have bought from a different breeder but we are so happy we chose
them. Their dogs are raised in home with very small children and are so
friendly and loveable. Definitely worth the drive (we live on fort lewis in
tacoma). I would definitely recommend them.

VERY well taken care of pup. Healthy, sociable, UTD vaccinations, wormings,
etc. Smart, gorgeous, great temperment, the whole package. Not only did we
did find the "perfect puppy" with a click of our mouse at Exquisitedanes.com.,
we also found the perfect breeders.

The breeders Jen and Kyle were very knowledgeable and patient. I am so happy

dog. She is a great retriever and swimmer and loves to travel too. We could not
love her more than we do!!

Beautiful Bella/Platinum
I would just like to say that anyone interested in purchasing a pup from Kyle
and family you will be pleased. First of all, anything that you wanted to see
online such a pictures of pup and parents he sent promptly. Any questions I
had he answered. Bella was shipped to us with care and consideration she had
food, baby wipes, a collar. A puppy packet was also shipped with toys. I
highly recommend Kyle and his family to anyone who would love a great Dane. My
Bella is beautiful and my vet said that she had been well taken care of.

Chrome/Marshall
If you're looking for a beautiful Great Dane raised correctly in every possible
way, Kyle and Jen are the route to go. I received Chrome, now called Marshall,
from across the country. He was shipped with food, water, baby wipes, a
collar, and a ton of love. He is an absolute pleasure to be around. He is
big, smart, loving and beautiful. It is blatantly obvious that he was raised
by a caring and responsible breeder. Jen and Kyle were wonderful about
answering any questions that I had and were in constant contact with me filling
me in on Chrome and the transition process. I would definitely get another
beautiful Great Dane from Jen and Kyle in the future.
Reviewer: Joe, June 26, 2009
The best puppy ever!
We recently "adopted" the most beautiful, well behaved, healthy and happy blue
Great Dane from Kyle and Jen. When you meet them it is obvious that they truly
care about their dogs and treat each of them as a member of their family. We
have received wonderful input on training, feeding and general care of our new
boy (Cobalt). Cobalt was potty trained in two days and has been pure pleasure
for our whole family! I would HIGHLY recommend Kyle and Jen to anyone looking
for a quality Great Dane and have referred two families to them already! I look
forward to a lifelong relationship with Kyle and Jen and will definitely only
go to them when we add more Danes to our family.
