I'm Madisonn C., the breeder behind Northern Soul Great Danes located in Waseca, MN. We are a small in-home breeder of AKC Great Danes in Southern Minnesota. Our breedings focus on the health, structure and temperament of our Danes. Our Danes are raised in our home alongside our children, and are each an important member of our family! Our puppies are whelped by my husband and I, and stay with us until they are ready to go at 8 weeks of age.
Q. & A. with Madisonn
Why did you start breeding?
I had a familial history in dog breeding and after I got my first Great Dane I knew exactly what I wanted to do and this was exactly the breed I wanted to do that with. Great Danes quickly became my passion!
What makes your program special?
We focus heavily on keeping our families involved in the entire process from the very start to going home! We make ourselves available for any question, day or night. We always want to ensure that ever family is getting the best experience when bringing this new addition into their family.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include silver, mantle merle, chocolate and white, chocolate, fawn, blue, harlequin, mantle, merle, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

I had the BEST experience with Madisonn. She responded literally within minutes to my first message confirming the availability of my puppy, the purchase process was extremely easy and she’s very easy and friendly to talk to. Pickup was also very smooth and comfortable. Madisonn knows what she is doing, she’s VERY knowledgeable and cares a great deal about her dogs and pups. My beautiful puppy Koda is thriving and doing wonderful. She is my Best lil friend. Her build and personality along with her temperament are absolutely amazing. When investing in a Great Dane you need to find an experienced breeder and someone who knows everything there is to know about Great Danes, therefor, I would HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for a Great Dane contact Madisonn for your new furry friend ( : you won’t be disappointed!!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
