Meet the breeder
I'm Michele N., the breeder behind Castle Creek Danes located in Nampa, ID.

I am dedicated to providing families with wonderful healthy family pets.
Q. & A. with Michele
Why did you start breeding?
When I bought my first Dane, I had no intentions of breeding, but as my love grew for this breed so did my desire to breed healthy, wonderfully tempered, and sound Great Danes. I enjoy showing my Danes in conformation, but my main goal is to focus on healthy Great Danes for each family to enjoy for many years. If my Great Danes end up in a show, for me, that is surely a plus.What makes your program special?
I strive to produce well-rounded and socialized puppies that are ready to fit into any home. I take great pride in my breeding program and stand behind my puppies from birth through the entirety of their life. I raise my puppies using the Puppy Culture program. My buyers are not only buying a puppy, but a lifetime of support. It would be my pleasure to introduce your family to your next Great Dane!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brindle, fawn, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
