Q. & A. with Dawn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I had my own amazing Great Dane and fell in love with the breed. I wanted to do my part as a responsible breeder and produce healthy, well-rounded pups. It has been an incredible experience, and I love what I do. It's an amazing feeling knowing that I made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families who love them!
  • What makes your program special?

    My dogs are an integral part of my family and daily life. This creates the ideal environment for puppies. From birth, they grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family -- that they have a purpose. It would be my pleasure to introduce your family to your next forever companion!
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
