I'm Janet T., the breeder behind Taylor's Tails of Joy located in Allendale, MI. My focus is on maintaining the Great Dane breed standard by raising structurally sound and correct puppies with excellent temperaments. I love being a breeder. It's so fulfilling to have the opportunity to create companionship and love and to see the positive effect that a beloved, furry companion can have on its family. Puppies are raised using Puppy Culture protocols.
Q. & A. with Janet
Why did you start breeding?
Consistent love for the Great Dane breed and dog training encouraged the beginning of my breeding program. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.

I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to bring home one of these wonderful dogs. My commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience, and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my puppies.
