About Our Program
Family owned and operated
It is important for you to know that we are a family breeder. We have made accommodations to our home to be able to make sure puppies are raised in our house and interact with our family. However, they have their own space to quietly rest with the new mom or as they get older to run, play, and interact with each other. They are monitored 24/7 through multiple cameras when we are not directly in the room with them.
Responsible Breeding
One of the goals of Irish Creek Great Danes is to make sure you are getting a healthy dog with a solid temperament. After all, you are bringing a new family member into your home. You want them to be the best they can be. All of our Great Dane puppies come with a 2-year genetic health guarantee and are temperament tested prior to going home. Our parents are AKC registered and have undergone DNA health testing prior to breeding. Most of the parents are our family members so it is also important to us that they are healthy and have solid temperaments.
