Q. & A. with Mary
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with Leonbergers at first sight! I started breeding so that I not only preserve my own phenomenal bloodlines but that I am improving this breed with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come!
What makes your program special?
I am an experienced breeder, and I take my role seriously. I keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed, including health, temperament, longevity, and complementary traits, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Price

If I don't have a puppy that will fit your home then you'll get a refund.”
