Great Dane Breeders, NZ

Rory and I have been breeding Great Danes for some 40 years. During that time we have bred many Best Exhibit in Show winners at both specialty and All Breeds Shows,amassing an outstanding record of 77 Best and Runner Up Best Exhibit In Show awards. Congistador is recognized as the top Great Dane Kennel in NZ worldwide, we have won Dane of the Year for the last 14 years in succession, have Owned/ Bred 2 x of the 3 Great Danes to achieve GRAND CHAMPION in this country, also 2 SUPREME CHAMPIONS in Australia, all accomplishing this supreme title with many BEST EXHIBIT IN SHOW and R/UP BEST EXHIBITS IN SHOW awards, bred/owned 42 Champions in New Zealand, Australia and USA. Our kennel was also awarded top All Breeds Kennel 2008 & 2009 on Dogzonline.. We have worked hard over the years to breed happy, healthy Great Danes and health Test extensively with hips, elbows, thyroid & heart. Our dogs are consistently the judges choice in the show ring.We are proud of our accomplishments and enjoy seeing our puppies primarily in loving family homes. It is lovely to have them shown but our priority is first and foremost to make sure our puppies are in excellent family environments . Rory and I are both licensed Judges and have judged specialties in Australia, England, Ireland & Sweden. Including the Midland and West Great Dane club Championship show in the UK 2013 Congistador Great Danes have only exhibited once at Great Dane Club Ch Shows since 2011

The prefix Lapsewood was registered in the UK in 1970. We are proud to have bred and owned Best In Specialty Show and Best In Show (All Breeds) winners and have made up Champions in Fawn, Brindle and Black. LAPSEWOOD GREAT DANES are shown fearlessly under the scrutiny of specialist judges so look forward to the opportunity at Great Dane Club shows which in recent years have attracted judges from the USA, UK and Australia. LAPSEWOOD have won BEST IN SHOW at 6 of the last 7 Great Dane Club championship shows, an accomplishment we are very proud of. Although many Great Danes bred at LAPSEWOOD have a show record that speaks for itself, our priority is to produce sound, healthy dogs with outstanding temperaments that make perfect family companions. We share our 10 acre property in Waimauku which is 30 kms north west of Auckland City with our dogs who all live in as part of our family. We occasionally offer puppies for sale strictly to approved homes and are proud to be founding members of the NZKC accredited breeders scheme. LAPSEWOOD's policy is to state only the truth in our advertising. A BISS Champion has won Best In Show at a Great Dane specialty show and a dog advertised as a champion has won a minimum of 8 challenges. SOUNDNESS, HEALTH, TEMPERAMENT and HONESTY
