Salembey Great Danes was founded in 1985 by Ted Salame and David Brown. The name "Salembey" was a family name and means"The Governor". This name has been carried on to the kennel and will continue to be used by all Great Danes in our breeding programs.

All our dogs are raised in our home and not a kennel. We believe that these animals are an addition to ones household and should be given the opportunity to reach thier maximum potential by being a part of a family and not being kept outdoors or ever lacking the warmth and comfort of a family setting.

Our goal is to provide family's with healthy, happy, well tempered and long living additions to thier lives. Selective breedings and research for over 18 years has produced everything we have worked for.

Wilhelmina and James Assell of "Winjamer"Great Danes and thier daughter Colleen Assell-Carra of "Temira" Great Danes have contributed greatly in our pedigree and continue to co-own in our line. "Ashton"(Ch. Calico Rock's Luv of Temira) was owned and loved by Colleen and remains an integral and important part of our beeding program.

We are very thankfull for the help and guidance of Anita Langevin of "Reanns Great Danes" who has advised and shared her years of experience and lines. Mrs. Langevin had retired from our breed in 1999 but has now re-entered the breed with "Aramis"(Salembey's Gatekeeper of Reanns) who is her companion and promising young show dog to continue her legacy.

Joanne Cantin of "Joana Great Danes" of Canada has joined the family with Tina Turcotte of "SwenTina Great Danes and Labradors" and both co-own "Winnie". We are gratefull to Joanne for her guidance and share her belief that a enormous amount of research must be done in planning a breeding to ensure years of healthly and happy animals.

Dianne Plamondon of "Dicar Great Danes" has been added to our family with Tess and Faith. Dianne is a seasoned handler that expertly presented "Krona"(BISS Am.Ca.Ch Reanns Krown Jewel), Canada's #1 Great Dane of 1994 and 1995. We admire her commitment to animal rescue in Northern Ontario and is one of the most dedicated and loving people who advocates for all God's living creatures.

Also added to our family is Robin Liner of Massachusetts who owns "Destany" and Barbara Reiner who shares the northern wilderness of Wisconsin with"Seigfreid".

All people named are loving and experienced Great Dane owners who are providing quality homes and fertile settings for what looks to be a defining moment in our goals.

A family consists of many and all members contribute to the health and welfare of our dogs. We are thankfull for this and we look forward to the years ahead.
