Darice Ruddell

Darice Ruddell breeds Great Danes in Idaho Falls, ID, serving eastern Idaho near Pocatello. With many years in the breed community and membership in national kennel clubs, she follows established health protocols, including hip and heart screenings for every adult dog. Pups are raised inside her home with daily structured socialization, supervised outdoor play and early exposure to household routines. New owners receive detailed care guides and one-on-one orientation sessions on feeding, grooming and basic training.

Some puppies from her program have gone on to compete in local conformation events and community dog shows. The kennels feature climate-controlled indoor spaces with secure outdoor yards designed for safety and comfort. Ruddell’s approach emphasizes temperament testing to match each pup with the right family environment. Families appreciate clear communication and ongoing updates through the first year, noting the dogs’ calm adaptability and friendly nature.
