Little Rogue Danes
When you bring a Great Dane into your life, you’re welcoming more than a dog, you’re gaining a loyal shadow, a gentle protector, and a best friend who will press their giant heart against yours every chance they get.
We know this because we live it every day.
Our Danes aren’t just pets; they’re family. They wake up with us, follow us from room to room, and curl up beside us at night. They ride along for errands, greet us like we’ve been gone for years, and remind us what unconditional love truly means.
Years ago, we fell in love with this breed, and if you’ve ever felt the weight of a Dane’s head resting on your lap, you know, there’s no going back.
Here in the mountains of Idaho, our Danes run, play, and stretch their legs across 5.5 acres of open space, living wild & free, just as they should. They grow up alongside barn cats, chickens, ducks, geese, cows, a donkey, and pigs, learning confidence, patience, and how to just be dogs.
We are dedicated to preserving and strengthening the Great Dane breed, ensuring that every dog we raise carries the health, temperament, and longevity they deserve. Breeding is not something we take lightly, it’s a responsibility to the breed and to every family who welcomes one of our Danes into their home.
That’s why we are committed to natural rearing. Our Danes are raised on a species-appropriate raw diet, free from toxic chemicals, vaccines, and unnecessary interventions. We believe in building strong immune systems naturally, allowing these incredible dogs to thrive as nature intended.
These dogs give us their all, and we owe them nothing less than the best, a foundation of health, a life filled with love, and a future where they can live long, strong, and true to their nature.
Majestic. Healthy. Loved.
The Natural Premium Danes Difference
Our Mission at
Little Rogue Danes
At Little Rogue Danes, our mission is simple but powerful: to help people understand that what they feed their Great Danes, along with eliminating chemicals and toxins, has a massive impact on their long-term health. True wellness starts from the inside out, and we are committed to raising naturally thriving, strong, and resilient Great Danes.
Raising Great Danes
with Purpose
Puppy Culture, developed by Jane Killion, is an essential program for breeders who want to lay a strong foundation for their puppies’ futures. This comprehensive system provides structured protocols that shape a puppy’s neurological, social, and emotional development from birth through the first 12 weeks of life. And when we combine this with the principles of Natural Rearing—embracing species-appropriate health, nutrition, and environmental exposure—our Great Danes grow into robust, confident, and well-balanced companions.
Say NO to Vaccines
Nosodes are one kind of homeopathic product. They are made from diseased human or animal tissues or discharges.
Those germs are diluted many times in plain water, leaving no active ingredients in the product that can affect the immune system.
100% Raw Feeding
A canine species appropriate raw food diet is not only key to a superior immune system, it's the magical essence which grows the best pups for longevity in their life.
In fact, feeding raw doesn't need to be complicated. In fact, it's much simpler than what you've been told. Plus, it's not as scary as most will make you believe.
Our Dogs
At Little Rogue Danes, we aren’t just breeding Danes, we’re producing healthy, naturally-reared Great Danes for families who refuse to settle for the industry’s broken standards. Our dogs are raised with strength, longevity, and true wellness in mind, never compromised by vaccines, kibble, or chemicals.
Testimonials
The Fritzler Family
"I would never raise a dog any other way now. My husband and I have had dogs our entire life and this is our first natural rearing dog. We have noticed so many things that are just different! Corey and Lorina have done an amazing job raising their pups. They are a wealth of knowledge and made us feel so comfortable and confident with the raw feeding and nosodes. The amount of love and care they provide for these beautiful animals is like none other. Jimi, one of the second generation Great Danes, has the best temperament ever. He is the sweetest little lover boy and he is so incredibly smart. He knows exactly who he can and can’t play rough with, he has been so trainable and honestly just has a strong will to want to please. We got Jimi when he was 12 weeks so we’ve only had him for 3 months but it honestly feels like he’s been in the family forever! I often forget that he’s still a puppy! He’s so good with our girls who are 11 & 9. He has done an excellent job being introduced to new people and he’s so friendly when we take him out.
We will never go back! If I could, I would take in all of the Little Rogue Danes! They are the best!!"
The Couch Family
"We have always had multiple Danes at the same time. After our last set passed away way too early at 5 and 6 we knew that this next time had to be different. Honestly we did not know what that looked like but knew there was a different way to keep our pups healthy. We found Little Rogue Danes and knew this was the answers to our prayers. It was easy to learn and adjust to living a natural rearing lifestyle. Our boys absolutely thrive on their raw diet—it does take some time to prepare, but it’s so worth it for their long-term health and happiness. We’re willing to do whatever it takes to keep them healthy, and the results speak for themselves. They’re incredibly calm and well-behaved compared to our other Danes. If they start chewing, we hand them a toy, and they’re content—something we’ve never seen with our previous Danes. We’ve also noticed how coordinated they are, even as puppies. No clumsiness at all, which really stood out to us. And potty training was a breeze since they drink little water, thanks to the moisture content in their raw diet. We couldn’t be happier with how healthy, happy, and well-mannered they’ve turned out!"
The Larsen Family
"In 2021 we lost our first Great Dane to cancer which was so traumatic for our family. I vowed to never get another Dane because he honestly took a piece of our hearts with him. But a year or so after, I began researching for naturally reared Great Danes. By this time I KNEW that what happened to our first Great Dane was a tragedy caused by western veterinary protocols and kibble. So the ONLY way I would ever own another would be the right way, the NATURAL WAY! That’s when I found Lorina and Corey’s website, they were the ONLY Natural Rearing breeders I was able to find at least in the U.S. and they had just bought Nova so I knew it would be a while before I would be able to own one of their Danes. When that day finally came, we were blessed to have been chosen by our beautiful “Obi”. We have a son with special needs who has a lot of sudden and big movements so the temperament of our puppy was so important! Well on that first day our sweet Obi went up to each of us in our family, he played and cuddled and even went up to our son with special needs. There was absolutely ZERO skittishness or fear in him and that remains true to this day! He is beyond gentle with each of my kids, he is playful and calm. He is PERFECT. We are so grateful for all of the time, love, and energy that Lorina and Corey put into their dogs. It’s because of their dedication to raising these puppies in the most natural way possible that we have been blessed with our sweet puppy.

What is the temperament of a Great Dane?
Great Danes are known as gentle giants—loving, affectionate, and deeply loyal to their families. They are excellent with children and other pets when properly socialized.
Do naturally reared Great Danes live longer?
While no guarantee, Great Danes raised naturally often live healthier, longer lives than their conventionally raised counterparts, avoiding common health issues like heart disease, joint problems, and cancer.
Are Great Danes hard to train?
No, but they do need consistent, positive reinforcement training from an early age. They are intelligent, eager to please, and thrive with structure and leadership. Due to their size, obedience training is a must!
How much do Great Danes weigh and how tall do they get?
Males typically weigh 140-175 lbs and stand 32-36 inches tall at the shoulder. Females range from 110-140 lbs and stand 28-33 inches tall. Their size makes early training essential!
How much space does a Great Dane need?
While they are large dogs, they are indoor companions and don’t require a massive yard. They do need space to stretch out and lounge, along with regular walks and playtime.

Naturally reared Great Danes tend to be healthier, more resilient, and less prone to chronic illness. They experience fewer allergies, stronger digestion, better joint health, and a more balanced temperament compared to conventionally raised dogs.

No, microchips are foreign objects that can cause inflammatory reactions and have potential risks. Naturally reared Great Danes are identified with responsible ownership, physical ID tags, and secure environments.
Can I transition my current Great Dane to natural rearing?
Yes! Any dog can transition to a more natural lifestyle, starting with switching to raw feeding, detoxing from vaccines/medications, and eliminating harmful chemicals.
Aren’t Great Danes prone to bloat? Does raw feeding help?
Yes, Great Danes are prone to gastric torsion (bloat), but raw feeding significantly reduces this risk by eliminating processed foods, grains, and unnecessary fillers that contribute to digestive issues such as air ang gas build up.
Why don’t you vaccinate your Great Danes?
Vaccines can compromise the immune system and contribute to long-term health issues. Instead, naturally reared Great Danes build strong immunity through proper nutrition, natural exposure, and holistic care.
