I'm the breeder behind Northern Soul Great Danes located in Waseca, MN. We are a small in-home breeder of AKC Great Danes in Southern Minnesota. Our breedings focus on the health, structure and temperament of our Danes. Our Danes are raised in our home alongside our children, and are each an important member of our family! Our puppies are whelped by my husband and I, and stay with us until they are ready to go at 8 weeks of age.
