Shonnie’s experience

  • About Shonnie

    My dogs are my passion and joy, I cannot imagine life without them. I enjoy spending time with them in the beautiful outdoor mountains of Idaho or just cuddled up together at night. I have experience in the show and performance ring, have trained dogs for over 30 years, and like to look for those qualities within my breeding stock. Although I am fairly new to dog breeding, I am enthusiastic about ethically sharing my love for this magnificent breed with those who appreciate them just as much as I do!

  • What makes Shonnie’s program special

    I am a selective breeder of exceptional bloodlines and quality Leonberger puppies. I have planned out my lines for several years prior to breeding. In addition, Sinnsro Leonbergers have been carefully selected, with dogs imported from around the world, to guarantee their accomplished pedigree. My beautiful pups are sure to make loving companions for your family for many years to come!

Puppies are raised with Avid Dog and Puppy Culture methods. Full puppy temperament evaluations and conformation evaluations will be done between 7-8 weeks before final placements are made. They are well socialized and matched with the best possible puppy home. Puppies will be started with potty training but success is determined on how well puppy buyers finish. I utilize the following enrichment methods: We also start them with experienced and trustworthy visitors at about 3 weeks of age. As they grow we add structures to their environment on which they can play and explore including ramps, steps, and wobble boards as well as a wide variety of surfaces and new people. We also begin basic training exercises and games once they are mobile and eating solid food., Noise desensitized , Grooming Desensitization, Touch Desensitization, Household Desensitization, Socializing the dog with everything is the key to a stable dog, Socialized with Other Animals, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Car Rides, Socialized with Cats, Avidog, and Puppy Culture.

Bringing your puppy home

Shonnie offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.

Pick up your puppy in Clearwater County, ID or nearby

If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.

“We do not ship our puppies as a general rule. Buyers will pick up their pups from my home in Idaho. I may be willing to meet at a location within reasonable distance (travel charges will be added) if buyer has already come to my home and met me and the puppies. Due to size our puppies cannot go in cabin (airplanes) and I won’t ship cargo unless out of the country. Will consider other travel options on a case by case basis but plan on driving for pick up as it is the safest for the puppies. ”
