Independent portal about Great Dane breed was conceived 10 years ago by the owner of Dane K-Patrick NOF’Zlata — Anastasia Braicheva.

On 3^rd of July, 2001 this project was just an idea and e-mail correspondence between the portal ideologist Anastasia and the program code creator — Liudmila Bandurina, thus we got domain - GREATDANE.RU The date of registration the name in the web we consider the Date of Birth of our portal.

When first pages were set out there were three of us:

1. Idea and financial support — Anastasia Braicheva
2. Author of the structure and program code — Liudmila Bandurina
3. Translator — Ekaterina Lebedeva

We hardly could make such functional and populated web portal if we hadn’t our Danes as inspiration to us, which was helpful a lot! Now all of them have passed away and other Danes came to our families but we do still remember and love those who were with us at the very beginning. Let us together to think about those dogs, they were with us ten years back and in the name of those this site was made:

1. K-Patrick NOF'Zlata (owner Braicheva A.)
   
2. Vozdukh Vremeni Aljoscha Mladshiy (owner Bandurin K.)
   
3. Ormont (owner Lebedev V.)
   

First year web portal development required from us, creators, much testing and filling up start pages of our future database. The help came from kennels and clubs owners, just as common owners of Danes.

In early years the most active testers and information providers were:

1. “Zlata” Club
2. “S Isaevskogo podvorja” Kennel
3. “Iz Dinastii Korolei” Kennel
4. “Vozdukh Vremeni” Kennel
5. “Iz Dremuchego Lesa” Kennel
6. “Russian Club Dog”
7. “Iz Ozernoj Storozhki” Kennel
8. “Immorteli” Kennel
9. Anastasia Yenchikova, at that moment owner of Zolotoi Dog Yan NOF'Zlata

Within past ten years we paid much attention to our essential constituent part of our portal - development and gathering actual database for club, kennels and the Great Danes with pedigree proper.

Currently our database contains:

• kennels — 227
• clubs — 35
• great danes — 9859

Presently the basic work for our portal is made by our team:

1. Liudmila Bandurina — finance, placing, outward advertising, cooperation with advertisers, programming.
2. Eugenia Karro — is filling the database, keeping in actual condition, reporting upon dog shows and results, cooperation with advertisers.
3. Natalia Prokofieva — providing pictures and results reports upon dog shows.
4. Olesya Deryabina — translator.
5. Daria Artemieva — providing pictures from dog shows and making photos of Danes join our database.

On large portal scale maintains major spending both time and money. Just because we present quite narrow topic specification, there is impossible to make up expenses by means of outward advertising only. That is why within all these ten years there was help as advertising from club, kennels, Dane owners and they stay with us till now.
