I'm Kathy P., the breeder behind SteelRose Great Danes located in Kingman, AZ. I am absolutely passionate about the preservation of the purebred dog. I started showing in 1980 and can't imagine life without dogs. My breeding program is dedicated to producing the correct type, temperament, and health. My dogs are companions first and show dogs second.
I am a member of the Great Dane Club of Arizona.
Q. & A. with Kathy
Why did you start breeding?
I have been showing for 40 plus years. I don't breed on a regular basis. I am pretty picky and take my time to ensure I produce great puppies.
What makes your program special?
I truly try to produce quality, healthy puppies that make great companion dogs as well as being competitive in the breed ring.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brindle and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Price

“Prices for puppies can vary for a number of reasons. I will discuss individual puppy prices in private conversations. I usually require a deposit once I've done the litter evaluations. The deposit holds the person's place on my list. It does not guarantee a puppy from a particular litter.”
