Title
Esquire Great Danes
Description
My name is Cynthia Carlson (known as "Cindee" to my friends). I am the two-legged critter responsible for Esquire Great Danes. I have been actively involved in the Great Dane fancy since early 1994, when I got my first Dane, "Denali" (Am⁄Int'l CH An Express Denali Quake). Denali, a natural eared harlequin, was the foundation sire of Esquire Great Danes, and was the second natural eared harlequin Dane ever to earn an AKC conformation championship. His son, "Remington" (Ch PCH Esq's The Smokin' Gun), is the fourth uncropped harlequin ever to finish an AKC conformation championship. Together, Denali and Remington are the first (and I believe at the time, the only) uncropped father and son Great Dane AKC champions in the history of the breed, of any color. While I do show cropped and uncropped Danes, it is rewarding to me personally to finish championships on natural eared babies, as many reputable breeders now have done. If you have a good enough dog, it is certainly possible.
I am a member of the Great Dane Club of America, the Great Dane Club of Northern California and was a founding officer, director and member of the Monterey Bay Great Dane Club. I am an attorney (please, no lawyer jokes; no blonde jokes either...). I practiced law as an associate and then an equity partner at a large multi-state law firm, based in the San Francisco Bay Area, for nearly 15 years before making a career transition. I returned to the university to complete a pre-medical course curriculum. I then applied to and was accepted into four veterinary schools. I am currently in my final semester at Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine. I will graduate soon, and hope to settle with my husband and my Danes somewhere in the Pacific Northwest.
Esquire Danes are friends and family members. They all live in the house, and only venture outdoors to frolic, take a walk, take a sunbath, go to a dog show or "do their business." Our sofas are well worn from providing long hours of comfort to our Danes, and our beds are indented from their time honored silhouettes.
