Patricia Kingham (Pat) started breeding Danes since 1963. She purchased my first Dane from Bringtonhill Kennels whilst in England on a working holiday and Martell actually travelled home to Australia with her on a cruise ship. It was a memorable experience and many friendships were formed with people who visited the section of the deck allocate to check his daily growth. He even had his own crew member to attend to his every need.

Many strong friendships are forged with purchasers of our puppies and in many cases, we are now finding that the grown-up children of people who purchased puppies many years ago, now contact us for their own Great Dane for their children.
