Meet the breeder

I'm Joselynne R., the breeder behind Four Leaf Farm- Vom Vierblättriges Bauernhof located in Coleta, IL. Our dogs are health and temperament tested and they socialize together AND with our family and friends. Our puppies are raised in our home, and are extensively socialized and very well-loved! We have a lifetime commitment to our puppies and their families. We can offer numerous references.

Q. & A. with Joselynne

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We found that the puppy buying process was unacceptable and unnecessarily uncomfortable. With many years experience breeding and raising horses, we felt that we could do better than what we had encountered, in many respects. Under mentorship, I raised nearly 20 co-owned litters before adding our program and our beautiful whelping and puppy rooms into our home, where ALL of puppies are raised, from whelping to weaning!

  • What makes your program special?

    We take the time to continue learning and improving with each breeding, litter, and experience we have. Our goal is not to be the biggest, but rather a very focused, reliable, respected, and trusted *family-friendly* breeder. We have tons of positive references and are happy to spend time with families PRIOR to making a commitment, as well as for the life of the dog! Our dogs are beloved PETS!

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include stock, plush, and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include sable, black, black and silver, black and tan, bi-color, and black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
