OFA-verified means we matched a clearance in the OFA public database on a Great Dane the breeder bred. A breeder without a match may still health test; we only count results we could check.

What to ask a Great Dane breeder
Ask for both parents' results for Cardiac OFA, OFA Hips, Thyroid Panel, Eye CERF. Results should be checkable by OFA or registry number, not a verbal assurance.
Breeder licensing in California
California does not issue a state breeder license, but statutory duties attach if you 3 or more litters or 20 or more dogs (sold, transferred, or given away in the preceding 12 months) in a twelve-month period.
No state issues a breed-specific breeder license, and a state license never replaces a USDA license or local zoning.
