~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Katherine and Pat had been told that you couldn't breed pure-color bred Blue lines and consistently produce quality - They said, watch us! They were both dedicated to the concept of breeding quality blues who were also typey representatives of the breed as well as sound in body and temperament. Katherine and Pat worked closely with each other until Katherine's death, at which time Pat continued by herself under the Coleridge prefix. Throughout the years it has always been Pat's ethic that when breeding, search out the very best combinations available, ones that are complimentary to each other. Demand the best, NEVER settle for lesser quality in health, looks, brains or temperament. Consequently, she has combined her own bloodlines with the very best in blues throughout the United States. She has conscientiously bred only from OFA good (or better)hips from the beginning, has C.E.R.F.d eyes and is now using OFA for Elbows, Ultrasound check on Heart, Thyroid & VWD testing - she believes that you must continue to check even when you aren't finding problems. Consequently, after 30+ years, Coleridge enjoys the enviable position of having healthy, pure color bred dogs that live to ripe old age (average for her line is 11-13 years) - Dogs that excel in both the breed and obedience rings as well as being sound, happy companions. The name COLERIDGE is now synonymous with quality Blue Great Danes and recognized by its offspring throughout the world, notably in Brazil, Mexico, Finland, Denmark and Sweden as well as across the United States. While not breeding frequently (an average of only 1 litter per year) but selectively, Pat is seeing her puppies consistently winning and earning titles in the breed ring, the obedience ring and, hopefully soon in agility as well. It has frequently been remarked upon by knowledgeable Dane experts that Coleridge pedigrees read like a Who's Who in Top Blue Danes and Blue Dane lines. Pat's stubbornness and efforts have paid off over the years and she is now recognized as a source of some of the very BEST in blue Great Danes
