Leslie’s experience

  • About Leslie

    I am a home breeder, all of our dogs are our pets first, breeding comes second.

  • What makes Leslie’s program special

    All of my dogs live in my home. Once the puppies are walking well I start the potty training process and take them outside so the the adults as long as the weather is nice enough. Most of my buyers say potty training was very easy.

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

Our puppies are well socialized and will have started potty training to go outside once they are walking well if it’s nice enough outside. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Potty Training.

Puppy health practices

All puppies will be up to date with vaccinations and will have a health check up before going to their new homes. I also give my vets information to the new home for questions they may have or their new vet.

Extras

We send our puppies home with Food Starter Bag, Toy with Littermates' Scent, and Blanket with Littermates' and Mom's scents.
