About Us
We believe Great Dane breeding is about more than just puppies—it's about stewardship, mentorship, and building a community that spans generations.

My love for Great Danes started when I first hugged a harlequin male at around age 10 while growing up in Iowa. My dad, an animal pharmaceutical sales rep with Merck, nurtured that fascination by taking me to countless hours with veterinarians, watching surgeries, and touring agricultural operations. His family had bred German Shepherds, but he took me to visit Great Dane breeders and conformation shows because that was the breed I had fallen in love with.

My passion for dogs started early, growing up with parents who bred dachshunds and competing in 4-H obedience shows. Working at a veterinary clinic as a child gave me hands-on experience with animal care and health issues. While I discovered Great Danes through my husband Dustin, my legal training as a litigation attorney brings a unique perspective to our breeding program.
