Growing up in a small town in Michigan, I always knew I wanted to work with animals. From working with horses to raising various dogs, my love for them has only grown. A story about my grandfather’s black Great Dane, Thor, sparked a fire in my heart. Years later, that seed sparked when I got my first Great Dane, a rescue named Killian. His struggles with fear and his eventual outcome broke my heart, but ignited a fire in my soul. I vowed to do everything in my power to protect my puppies from facing a similar fate.
More Than Just Breeding
You see, for me, this journey is about more than just breeding. My whole life, I’ve battled with mental illness and trauma. Through the darkest times, the paw of a dog was what healed my heart and saved my life. My dogs became the support system I needed. They alerted me to panic attacks, helped with mobility, and provided deep pressure therapy for my PTSD. With their help, I transformed the pain of the past into power! Finding purpose in my life and learning to be alive truly.
Our Commitment to You
I want to share that joy with you. I want to give others the chance for a new and better life with the love of a Dane. Each puppy is family-raised with daily handling, early neuro stimulation, and puppy enrichment. We also start their training with basic obedience, crate training, and potty training to give them the best possible start. When you join our family, I’m here for you, 24/7. I am committed to providing lifetime support and education. If you have questions about training or need someone to talk to, please don’t hesitate to reach out. All of my animals are registered with the AKC, and I offer a health guarantee with a written contract. While no one can guarantee a dog will never have a health issue. I do extensive health testing on all my dogs to help you get the healthiest puppy possible.
