About Paula Zaro
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I have experience with Great Danes since I show and breed them on occasion. I can answer questions on temperament, health, training, breeding issues, genetic issues. I will not answer questions about how to breed your pet and add to the pet population. I am a firm believer that the experts in the breed should breed, and families should enjoy their dogs from reputable breeders.

Experience
I have shown, raised and trained Great Danes for a number of years with my family. Have shown several Champions and am now on my way to starting my own healthy bloodline in the future. **NOTE**Please do not ask me questions about breeding your Great Dane, as I will not answer these types of questions and they will be rejected. If you do not know what you are doing, your dogs do not compete in AKC sanctioned events, are not health tested and do not conform to the standard I will not answer your questions.

Organizations
American Rare Breed Association, Cane Corso Assocation of America, Great Dane Club of Milwaukee, American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Evaluator

Education/Credentials
Basic Trainer, Intermediate Trainer, Advanced Trainer, Off-Leash Advanced Trainer, Behavior Modification, Behavior Modification Specialist, Canine Good Citizen Evaluator of the American Kennel Club, Veterinary Assistant, Kennel Manager, Adoption Coordinator
