Leann’s experience

  • 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

More about Leann

  • 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.
