The Layne Homestead

The Layne Homestead is a small family-run great Dane breeder in Gregory, MI, in Southeastern Michigan near Ann Arbor. It follows recommended health screening guidelines, including hip, elbow, cardiac, thyroid, and eye evaluations, and maintains detailed records. With years of hands-on experience breeding great Danes, Brandon Layne prioritizes thoughtful pairing based on health, structure, and temperament. It provides ongoing personalized guidance on training, social development, and nutrition to support a smooth transition into home life.

All Danes live on the homestead with daily socialization, supervised play, and gentle handling from an early age. Puppies enjoy spacious indoor areas, secure outdoor paddocks, and early exposure to children, guests, and common household sounds. Clients often note the puppies’ calm temperaments, eager companionship, and reliable manner in family life. The quiet rural setting encourages confident pups prepared for gentle roles in busy homes.
