I'm the breeder behind Aussome Pups at Alexander Farm located in Lakeville, IN. Our goal is to have healthy, smart, and lovable dogs and puppies for perfect pets as well as to help with service, emotional support, or therapy needs. We have high expectations for our puppies and strive to place each one in an enriching and loving home! The icing on the cake is that we chose dogs that we feel will make beautiful puppies for our breeding dogs. We love quality that conforms to the standards along with personality and health!
About Leann
We are very proud to be breeding these incredible dogs. It is important to us that we are breeding versatile, well-rounded, socialized, and healthy pups for our buyers to welcome into their families and hearts. Our dogs are a huge part of our lives, and we enjoy spending time with them; whether that be through completing our various day-to-day activities together or just cuddling up to relax.
What makes Leann’s program special
We are a small, in-home breeder. Our goal is to produce healthy, loving dogs for those in need, and we strive to prepare all of our dogs to excel in their forever homes as service dogs, emotional support animals, therapy dogs, and of course as loving companions too. It is incredible how smart these dogs are! With that comes the responsibility of teaching them right from wrong. Our puppies leave with knowledge of basic commands and a strong start in housebreaking! They love to learn and love their families! <3

Why Leann started breeding
Seeing service/support dogs that were lacking key qualities made me decide to breed dogs in order to truly help people. I knew with my experience I could select dogs more qualified than many I was seeing. I have been involved with breeding and showing various animals most all of my life. Chasing lines, evaluating health, temperament, and conformation is an art and nothing to be taken lightly.
Leann is a Preferred Good Dog Breeder

Leann has been a member of Good Dog for almost 4 years

Zelda is an EXTREMELY affectionate girl! When I met her I instantly melted as she came to me with her paws and heart wide open! She knows NO strangers!! EVERYONE is her new BFF! I also instantly fell in love with her color! She is a Harlequin Merle which is different from the more common merle. She has varying shades of red/brown in her patches of color and not really the roaniness as with most merles. She also has the copper and white. Her blue eyes are also amazing. She is a beauty to be sure!
