Strength. Nobility. Loyalty
Harley is the heart of our kennel and the foundation of our breeding program. At 10 months old she already displays the strength, elegance and gentle temperament that make Great Danes such an incredible breed.
Harley's favorite pass time is running and swimming at the Sacramento River.
Harley thinks she’s human as she loves to eat at the table as part of the family. With 75% European bloodlines known for her, she is an active, confident puppy who loves to play, explore and spend time with her family
As you can see, Harley’s favorite place to be is at the river where she loves to play and swim in the water.

Our Breeding Program
At St. Michael’s Danes, our breeding program is built on one simple principle: quality over quantity. We are dedicated to preserving and improving the Great Dane through responsible breeding practices, careful planning and a lifelong commitment to every puppy we produce.
Our breeding dogs receive comprehensive veterinary care and appropriate health testing to help reduce the risk of inherited diseases. We believe responsible breeding begins long before puppies are born and continues throughout their lives.
Puppies are raised in a clean, safe, and enriching home environment where they receive daily handling, age-appropriate socialization, and early exposure to new sights, sounds, and experiences. This foundation helps develop confident, well-adjusted companions that transition smoothly into their new homes.
We are committed to matching each puppy with the right family rather than simply make a sale. Every puppy owner receives ongoing support, guidance and resources throughout the life of their Great Dane. We believe that responsible breeders remain a trusted source of knowledge long after a puppy leaves for its forever home.
As our program continues to grow, we remain focused on producing Great Danes that are exceptional representatives of the breed-whether they become beloved family companions, successful show dogs, or performance partners. Our goal is to leave a lasting, positive impact on the breed while maintaining the highest standards of ethics, health, and care.
At St. Michael’s Danes, every litter reflects our dedication to excellence, integrity and the future of the Great Dane.
Future Litters
At St. Michael's Danes, every litter is carefully planned with the goal of producing exceptional European Great Danes that excel in health, structure, temperament, and breed type. We believe quality is worth waiting for, and each breeding will only take place after thoughtful health testing and selecting the best possible pairing. Our puppies will be raised in a loving family environment, introduced to early socialization, and given the strongest possible start in life. If you are looking for a loyal companion, a future show prospect, or your next gentle giant, we invite you to follow our journey as we build the foundation of our breeding program.
