Alexandra Thompson, @ Poehilldanes,

Alexandra Thompson, @ Poehilldanes, breeders of great danes in Pomona, MO, are based in southwest Missouri near Springfield. They participate in national great dane and Shetland sheepdog club registries and follow health-testing protocols for hips, hearts and eyes. Each breeding dog undergoes genetic screening and cardiac evaluations to reduce the risk of inherited disorders.

Puppies grow up in a home environment with early socialization and regular handling by family members and guests. Adult dogs enjoy daily exercise on the property’s fenced acreage and sleep indoors to ensure comfort and security. They work with a nearby veterinary practice for scheduled wellness exams, vaccinations and parasite prevention.

Recent litters have produced two great danes with championship points and Shetland sheepdog puppies noted for calm temperaments suited to therapy work. Visitors are welcome by appointment to tour the kennels and meet the breeding dogs in person.
