I'm Lesley B., the breeder behind Baldwin Rottweilers located in Gardendale, AL. We are an animal loving family. Especially when it comes to the Rottweiler breed. We love Rottweilers and want to show people how much love, joy, and happiness they can bring into a home. We are breeders who do everything we can to better the breed and ensure our dogs and puppies are able to get the very most out of life.
Q. & A. with Lesley
Why did you start breeding?
I thought why can't we show people the love of Rottweilers? Teach other animal lovers the dedication and love of the Rottweiler and how good they are? After that thought, the rest was history. I saw the love that Ava has for my kids and all their friends and knew I wanted to share that with others.
What makes your program special?
Ava is an indoor pet, her puppies will be born inside and kept inside. The pups will be very socialized with kids, adults, and pets. Ava has been OFA tested, JLPP Clear/Normal and AKC registered. I will screen homes of potential buyers and will only approve appropriate homes.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
