About Us Old Mission Danes is located in Eastern Michigan.We actively exibit/handle all of our great danes in AKC and UKC conformation shows, obedience train them and our dogs take the CGC (Canine Good Citizen) test. I have loved and admired the breed since childhood, but have been involved in the breed since 2001 and had our first litter in 2007. I am a proud member of the Great Dane Club of America and Member and President of the Great Dane Club of Michigan. We also occasionally rescue/foster/rehome Great Danes not bred by us. Our dogs are all indoor house dogs. Our dogs are a part of our family and can usually be found curled up on their futon together. Our dogs are raised with children, so excellent temperaments are a must for any dog this size. Our dogs have a very large fenced grassy yard. Our dogs are also well socialized to many different animals and livestock as well since we operate a small hobby farm. Our dogs are show dogs, but they are family pets first. We take showing very seriously, but we mostly show locally at this time in our life due to travel constraints since we have young children and a farm to attend to. With very limited showing we still have managed many accomplishments.When we breed a litter, it is to add a new family member to our family and possibly yours. We breed with the hopes that there will be a show puppy in the litter for us to continue with and only breed when we have that goal in mind, not just to produce puppies. We require that every puppy spend their entire lives as an important family member and we take great care into placing our puppies into loving lifelong homes. Pups are temperament tested and matched up to best suit the type of home they are going into. If your interested in this breed please do your research well in advance to be sure this breed is right for your family and your budget for the entire life of the dog, read great dane books, visit the Great Dane Club of America website, meet many breeders and dogs in person, go to dog shows to see what the dogs should look at act like and to meet breeders, learn about health problems common in this breed. Giant breeds come with Giant responsibility, Giant bills and total dedication and involvement by the entire family. There are also many great dane message boards out there that can answer any question you may have about the breed. The focus of our breeding program is temperament, health, and conformation (breed type) and we believe in not sacrificing one for the other. We adhere to the Great Dane Club of America breeding ethics and breed our dogs to conform to the Great Dane Club of America Breed Standard which is the blueprint that every great dane should be bred towards. We do not breed for extremes, personal preferences or fads, we breed to adhere to the standard for our breed. Litters are born and raised in the home underfoot and socialized to all people and all things, so they transition to new families and the outside world very easily with confidence.We want our Danes to be able to excel in conformation, the obedience ring, agility ring, Therapy Dog work and first and foremost a well rounded family member. Pups we bred are now just starting their show careers and are now UKC Champions, AKC pointed and others doing well in obedience and therapy work. We take bringing lives into this world very seriously and all aspects of every breeding are throughly thought out and researched to determine the best breeding decisions for every litter. The parents are health tested and are of superb temperament. Companion Pups also deserve to be healthy and beautiful! If for any reason the new owners cannot keep their dog for any reason during its lifetime it is to be returned back to us. We offer companion and show puppies. Every puppy includes a show or pet contract, written health guarantee and lifetime breeder support. Pet/Companion puppies are sold on limited registration, spay/neuter contract and cannot and will not be bred.Show puppies are sold at our discretion to committed show homes only, we are also willing to assist serious committed newcomers.
