Q. & A. with Nicole

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have been around animals my entire life. Great Danes stole my heart at a young age with my first one, Jake. I am dedicated to providing them the best possible lives. I aim to better the breed as a whole and build a world in which my dogs can thrive and excel. I strive for excellence in every aspect of my program and am committed to providing you with a professional and positive experience as I welcome you to the Heart of Texas Great Danes family. I love my dogs and I know you will too!

  • What makes your program special?

    I am not a big fancy kennel with dozens of dogs. I consider myself a hobby breeder that raises her danes as family. They sleep in my bed with me every night. If you see me out and about, 90% of the time I will have a Great Dane at my side or sitting in my lap. Iam dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, training, and finding the best homing my pups. I love what I do and truly want nothing more than to see each and every one of my puppies shine! My puppies are well-rounded, healthy, and loving. They are prepared to thrive in any environment. I am honored to share my love for this breed with others! Breeder support is always available and does not stop when the puppy joins your family…you are joining the Heart of Texas Great Danes Family. Welcome home 🐾❤️

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include brindle, fawn, blue, harlequin, mantle, merle, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
