December 27, 2023:  Two more liters are planned and Misty did whelp a puppy  -  Arthur.   He will start selected showing in March 2024.


September 19, 2023.  Our wonderful retired Broadway has passed away after an unsuccessful attempt to control a liver infection.  The planned breeding between him and Rhona will continue using stored semen.  It was a great loss to our family.  He was not only an exceptional show dog, but more important he was an outstanding companion dog and nanny to Jessica’s daughter (Amelia) from her day of birth to now - 17 months of joy between dog and child.  More information can be found on Jessica’s facebook page


 September 11 2023.  Misty was bred as planned, conceived 4 embryos, but there were reabsorbed in utero.  But one puppy, a male fawn, was born - and we expect him to be a very good dog indeed.  Hence he will be staying in our kennels.  We will start a new web page for him soon (Teulu’s Arthur, Once and Future King)


Our Brindle GCHB Timon has been retired from conformation and is getting back into Rally.  He just started this shift in emphasis in April 2023 and still managed to end up as Number 18 in the Great Dane Club of America rally stats for 2023.  That means he is in the invitational list for the 2023 national specality.  Sadly, due to expected puppies, we are not planning on attending the national this year.


Timon’s sister Rhona also added to her wins with WB and a WB/BOS to here total.


Honey Trouble also attended a few shows and won another WB ribbon and added a WB/BOS the next day


January 22, 2023:  We are publishing this new Teulu web site, even though there is still more work to be done. 

We did not show at the Washington custer due to Jessica’s judging assignments (including her last great Dane assignment as a provisional).  At the Rose City cluster (jan 19-22) Timon picked up 15 more grand champion points and 30 NOHS points.  Honey Trouble did not get points, but made fantastic progress in her show dog skills.   Ready to really compete!!    December 2022 was a fun month and Honey Trouble (call name Winnie) ended the year with three WB and 2 BOW at the Ridgefiled show in December.

After 40 years in Great Danes, we began anew in 2006 with the acquisition and finishing of Ch. Rojon's Captain J followed by GCh. Rojon's Jasmine, and Ch. Rojon's Augustus.  

We began our life in Danes with Ch. Lincoln's Jager Von Zarik (Jake), who went on to be a BIS and BISS winner.  But from the start, Danes were part of our family - and that has continued to today.  The next pivotal event was the addition of Rojon’s-Winhurst Captain J to our family. Without Captain we would not have reset and begun Teulu’s Great Danes.

As for the larger word of dog showing and breeding, all three of us (Tom, Barbara, Jessca) are members and officers of the Gig Harbor Kennel Club.  All three of us are also members of the Great Dane Club of America and Candian Kennel Club and recoginzed as AKC breeders of merit.  Jessica is taking the family involement furhter in the AKC and has her AKC judging licenses for all breed Junior Handling and Great Danes with plans to add mroe breeds to her approved list in the near future. She also has been judging obiedience and junior handling for the 4H for more than 15 years.

Teulu is the Welsh word for family - and we have chosen it to reflect both our Welsh heritage and the commitment of our entire family to this breed. Our Logo ( on the left side of this page) depicts Jake and reflects the beginnings of our life with Great Danes.

Jasmine whelped her first litter in September 2010 and began our new line - Teulu's Great Danes. Jasmine is shown above (on the right) with two of those first litter puppies (Bred by exhibitor G Ch Teulu’s Pride of kovu on the left, and G Ch. Teulu’s Nala of the Wild center). Check out the pages on this site for other puppies from Jasmine and her daughter Nala. We are most pleased that Jasmine has 4 champions of record to date and more close to finishing.

We fully support the AKC code of Sportsmanship in addition to the expectations of being an AKC Breeder of Merit.
