I'm the breeder behind Sandbox Puppies located in Marionville, MO. I'm a home-based breeder of quality Bouvier des Flandres puppies! I have been raising AKC Bouviers since the '80s. This is a truly extraordinary breed with non-shedding/hypo-allergenic coats, intelligence, intuitive nature, and trainability. Their laid-back nature and gentle temperament make Bouviers an ideal family breed AND the best dog you will own - come see for yourself! All puppies are sold with limited registration(no breeding).
About Lisa
My dogs are a passion of mine, and I cannot imagine life without them! They are members of my family first and foremost. They receive daily socialization, stimulation, and an abundance of love at all times! I am very conscious about who I rehome my puppies to and always ensure that each one goes to the best home possible complementary to its personality and ability. I look forward to connecting with you!
What makes Lisa’s program special
My passion for this breed is poured into every aspect of my breeding program. I truly love my dogs and what I do. I carefully breed each litter with a focus on health, temperament, coat color, and conformation. Once pups are born, I lovingly hand-raise each and every one to ensure a reliable temperament and cherished companionship. I want nothing more than to see each and every one of my dogs and puppies shine!

Why Lisa started breeding
Purposeful and ethical breeding is so important for the healthy progression of the Bouvier des Flandres. My dogs have brought me so much joy and happiness that I wanted to give back to them by producing the highest quality pups and providing them a wonderful life with wonderful families. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others!
