I'm Corinne S., the breeder behind Starlight Danes located in Kimball, MI. We are a family oriented breeding home! We raise Danes to provide healthy and well rounded pets for our families. We strive to stay true to the Great Dane’s structure and temperament that we all love while also focusing on socialization to ensure all pups have the best start in their new homes!
Q. & A. with Corinne
Why did you start breeding?
Damon grew up in a family of breeders (Rottweilers, English bulldogs, French bulldogs) so the breeding world runs deep with him. We both have always loved what Danes are about so when we met, we turned our love into a hobby and a hobby into a program!
What makes your program special?
We’ve had an incredible amount of experiences and have done (and still do!) a vast array of research- all of which continuously improve ourselves as dog owners and breeders and ultimately improves the overall livelihoods of our pack and pups! We are truly committed to our dogs and puppies- past, present, and future. Finally, we have true care and compassion for our families and pups alike
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 and a kennel on my property.

Starlight Danes was fantastic. Corinne answered all of my questions and was patient and kind throughout the process. We had a little hiccup during the first few days while we tried to adjust to each other. Corinne calmed my anxieties and reassured me that Hudson was the right choice for our family. Hudson is beautiful and healthy. He arrived vaccinated and microchipped. I’m so happy we chose Starlight Danes.
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.
