Biography Content

Drogon is a pillar of the Duty Danes program, embodying the loyalty and intense focus needed for dedicated service work. He is the son of Wade and Tovi and the grandson of our foundational male, Ragnar, truly representing the continuation of our line committed to “Healing Hearts one paw at a time.”

Drogon’s primary work is providing Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT), using his powerful calm and deep weight to interrupt and mitigate severe anxiety and panic attacks. Beyond DPT, Drogon exhibits a phenomenal, innate drive to work, often initiating mobility tasks on his own. This self-directed assistance demonstrates his intelligence and deep bond with his handler, proving his exceptional reliability in diverse service scenarios.

Health Integrity and Ethical Breeding

At Duty Danes, we are fully committed to health transparency and genetic responsibility. Drogon’s impressive temperament and lineage make him invaluable, but as ethical breeders, we also manage his carrier status for the gene linked to pharyngeal laryngeal paralysis (Lar Par). Drogon himself is healthy, and we use this information to maintain the highest ethical standards.
To understand our detailed approach to testing and genetic management, we link to our comprehensive Commitment to Health Testing page. This documentation ensures that every Duty Danes puppy is responsibly bred for a long, healthy life, safeguarding the integrity of our lines.
