I'm Nicole D., the breeder behind DuBord Great Danes located in Brandon Township, MI. Our puppies are raised in our home. We offer health tested Great Dane puppies for families who are looking to add a new baby into their home. Being a breeder is so rewarding. It's so amazing to have the opportunity to be able to match a family with their perfect new puppy.
Q. & A. with Nicole
Why did you start breeding?
Watching new life form and be brought into this world is one of the most exciting things to be a part of. To watch them grow, learn to walk, and mature into those big beautiful babies that we all love is all reward I need. The best part for me is watching them start their life with their new families and all the adventures they have together along the way!
What makes your program special?
My program is special because of my dogs. We health test all of our breeding dogs to ensure only the best are bred for our program. We strive to place our puppies in the best homes possible. For that to happen, we use an extensive screening process with a puppy application and references to ensure they all go to amazing homes.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
