Please take the time to read my positive feedback on this shipment.. I was really scared about shipping. I had never made such a big purchase of an animal ( adult Great Dane) let alone have to shipped from Northern Washington to Southern Ca. Denes answered all my questions, stayed ahead of schedule, and went out of his way to make the experience perfect. My new Great Dane fell in LOVE with Denes and he kept wonderful care of him. I will certainly use Denes again and would recommend him to ANYONE for ANY shipment, especially your special animal friends. Thanks again.
