RE: Breeding your own dog...........what you should know first.
If you know the standard and know the breed then you should be familar with coat patterns and what colors breed together and which mixes should be avoided.
Here are a few sites you should look into: http://www.gdca.org/codeofethics.htm - The Great Dane Club of America's "code of ethics"
And here is their color code..a chart of approved color breedings.
http://www.gdca.org/colorcode.htm - The colors for Blue breedings are listed on the 3rd section of the chart.
If you plan on breeding your girl you may want to have some further vet work done too. Not just a vet saying "Yep, the dog's healthy" You should look into some health certifications such as OFA and CERF. Afterall, the Dane breed has enough health issues as it is so any dog being bred should at least have a few of these health screenings.
Anywho..I wish the best for your girl. Hope all goes well whatever you decide. Happy Holidays.
