Meet Alice from Little Blue Nova, the Sweetheart of the Pack.


Alice was born on July 30th, 2024, right here in our home. She is an offspring of Nova and Hercules and represents our second generation of naturally reared Great Danes, raised from the very beginning with intention, patience, and respect for biology.

Alice is the kind of dog that makes people fall in love with the breed all over again. She is incredibly sweet, calm, obedient, and deeply loyal. She carries a quiet confidence and an old soul energy that you don’t see every day. She doesn’t need to be loud to be present. She just is.

Every morning she settles in next to Corey on the couch while he reads his book for the day and carefully positioning herself so she doesn’t interrupt him… aside from the gentle snoring she unaware of. It’s her favorite routine, and honestly, ours too.

She adores our barn cats and has an easy, respectful way about her with all of our other dogs. Alice fits into the rhythm of our home like she’s always belonged here. If there’s an open truck door and the chance for a ride, she’s in before you can blink. She loves roaming the farm, feeling the ground under her feet and the wind in her face.

Even though she thoroughly enjoys the outdoors, her favorite place will always be the couch. Curled up close, content, and completely at home.

Alice is a beautiful reflection of what intentional breeding and natural rearing can produce. Not just a healthy dog, but a deeply connected companion.

Lifestyle Over Testings

Here at Little Rogue Dane we truly believe living close to nature will always out beat Health screening. For our future dog parents we also include OFA's to our program so that we are always bettering the breed, which is exactly what we strive for here.

I would like you all to understand just because genetics, health screens can show passing scores, it doesn't mean your dog will leave a health life, that comes with the lifestyle we live and teach to our future dog parents.

No Vaccines -No Chemicals - No Kibble - No Early Spaying/Neutering - No Microchips - No Dewclaw Removal/Ear Cropping

Health Screenings/ Genetic Testings

For Great Danes, the breed average DI typically falls around 0.45 to 0.55, with many dogs testing higher than that. Numbers closer to zero indicate excellent hip stability and are considered well above average for the breed.

Alice’s PennHIP results show Right DI 0.40 and Left DI 0.32, placing her at or better than the breed average, with particularly strong stability in her left hip. These results reflect good hip structure and a solid foundation for long term joint health.

PennHIP scores are influenced not only by genetics but also by growth rate, nutrition, movement, and overall lifestyle. Alice’s results support her as a healthy, structurally sound Great Dane whose joints are developing appropriately within a naturally supportive environment.

Alice is scheduled to finish out her OFA Screen testing on March 14th 2026 in Pocatello ID (Thyroid & Eyes) and on May 1st S. Jordan UT for her Echocardiogram.

✔️ OFA Echo Heart – Pending
✔️ OFA Thyroid – Pending

✔️ OFA Eyes – Pending
✔️ PennHIP – .40/.32 (Shows better then average)

After Alice has been cleared of all OFA's she will be bred after her 2nd birthday.

Any time after July 2026

If you like to get on her wait list, make sure you place her name "Alice" on the application.

One thing about Alice is she is a genuine animal lover to her core. She makes friends with just about every animal on our farm and never meets a stranger whether it has two legs or four.

As you can see, Alice and my son's cat are best friends and spend their days playing hide and seek, sharing space, and choosing each other’s company without a second thought.

Moments like that do not happen by accident. We are very intentional about raising our Danes with early exposure to different people, animals, environments, and energy so they grow up calm, emotionally stable, and confident instead of anxious, reactive, or overwhelmed.

Our goal is to raise beautiful dogs and well balanced companions who feel safe in the world around them and know how to move through life with ease.

That foundation matters for their long term health, temperament, and quality of life.
