I'm the breeder behind LJK Boxers & Toy Aussies located in Mountain Home, ID. We focus on health testing to prolong the life of an amazing breed. We want families looking for a puppy to have the option of a stable temperament that can fit into everyday life. Our dogs are smart, loving, protective, and of course beautiful.
About Sylvanna
Dogs have always been important to me. I started showing my family dog in 4-H when I was in fourth grade. I still work with dogs on a daily basis as a manager to a boarding facility. I couldn't dream of a better job that allows me to keep my dogs with me at all times.
What makes Sylvanna’s program special
We health test all of our dogs and choose only the best temperaments that thrive in family environments to pass on genetics. We provide all of this and more for a fraction of what similar breeders charge.
Sylvanna has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies. You'll also have the chance to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for in a new companion. Together, you'll choose the puppy that's right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Puppy prices range from $1,000 - $3,500 and include a non-refundable deposit of $500.
“Our puppies are priced as pets with limited registration. We require a non refundable deposit to hold a puppy of choice until they are ready to go home. Deposits are non refundable and go towards the purchase price of the puppy.”
Sylvanna may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Sylvanna offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don’t hesitate to reach out to Sylvanna directly.
The best puppies come from homes that introduce a variety of new experiences at an early age. All of our puppies are handled daily by a variety of people. We have children that carry them around and play with them. They are held and get nails trimmed. They play with a variety of toys. We also have other dogs, cats, and farm animals to help get them acclimated to the outside world. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Various sounds, Scent introduction, Socialized with other animals, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Socialized with children, Surface & tactile stimulation, Car rides, Doggy door training , Potty training, crate training, Name recognition , Crate Training, "No" Biting or Chewing, Socialized with Children, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Socialized with Cats, and Socialized with Other Animals.

We send our puppies home with Microchip, Blanket with mom & littermates’ scent, Registration, Initial potty training, Puppy starter kit, Toys, Food & treats, Vet records, Vet Paperwork , Bowl, ASDR registration , AKC Registration, Food Starter Bag, Microchip, Puppy Leash, Toy with Littermates' Scent, Vaccinations, and Blanket with Littermates' and Mom's scents.

Work with a trusted flight nanny or transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at an airport or meeting point close to home.
Why Sylvanna started breeding
I was looking up the issues Boxers have and found that mostly only expensive show breeders did any testing. I wanted to provide healthy Boxers at a reasonable price to people who want a member of their family, not a show dog. The aussies came as we were looking for a small dog that would enjoy outdoor activities as well as fitting in with the family. They are an active, loving, and smart breed.
