I'm Lee M., the breeder behind Delayre Kennels located in Sun Valley, CA. We have been breeding, boarding and training dogs in the same place since 1974. Our puppies are raised in the home to assure easy going social puppies. I prefer to talk so we both get to know each other so be prepared to have a conversation to make sure we are both comfortable with each other.
Q. & A. with Lee
Why did you start breeding?
Our Airedale had passed away and we could not find a puppy. At that time 101 Dalmatians was in the theater and I asked my father if we could get one. Fate intervened when we went to a puppy match and Checkers took the breed and 2nd in the group and we were hooked . She was the first dog I showed and finished in the ring. I showed in Junior handling Two years later we did get our Airedale

Lee was so knowledgeable and helpful during the entire process of acquiring my new pup. She answered all my questions and provided information on having a new pup( it had been a while, so I appreciated the information) . My little guy is healthy, happy, and was well prepared for transitioning to a new home. It was a very positive experience. Thank you, Lee!
