Meet the breeder
I'm Kendra H., the breeder behind Bois D’Arc Leonbergers located in Manchester, TN. We understand the responsibility of purposefully breeding in order to do better for the breed and the families that love them!
Q. & A. with Kendra
Why did you start breeding?
I have loved working with dogs my entire life. I fell in love with the Leonberger breed when I got my first puppy in 2017. They are exceptional working dogs that love working and just being part of the family. Again, my program is complete built around bettering the breed with each breeding. My girls do obedience, scent, and confirmation.What makes your program special?
We are occasional breeders of AKC Leonbergers in middle Tennessee. All of our breeding girls are health tested and live in our home. We breed for confirmation, health and temperament with the intent to better the breed with each breeding. Litters are raised in our home with our other dogs. We use the puppy culture program and with each litter we continue to learn and are improving our program continuously. As a breeder, I take my responsibility of making sure that my puppies are placed in exceptional homes and will take back any dogs that I bred at anytime in their life.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are reddish brown. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
