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.

Litter update on 11 Sept •…Puppies have their routine down pretty well! They are in their big pen overnight, they get switched over to their small Pen in the morning to eat and to potty, and are in there for about three hours. Then they go back into their cleaned out and dry big Pen, and we repeat in the evening. They are eating twice a day now! First vet visit is on Monday!
Flokey and Lilly's litter
Joselynne R.
Litter update on 11 Sept •…3 hots and a cot? Is that what they say about jail? Well, puppies are jail breaking, despite getting plenty of food, new toys, and a litter pan. Maybe it’s because mom is stealing their toys! This weekend I will probably have to rig up a larger box until big puppies go home NEXT weekend!

Joselynne R.
Litter update on 08 Sept •…Puppies are beginning to play, and have begun chewing on each other and “fighting”, so this week they will get some small, soft toys (which will quickly be replaced by Bullymake toys to withstand the abuse!). They are toddling to the end of their box to pee, so I will open up the litter pen, too.
Flokey and Betty's litter
Joselynne R.
Litter update on 06 Sept •…Smaller potty area, more room to play! Trying to get the last of pre-going-home potty work accomplished. I just need to add a couple of crates in, now, so they can spend some bap time in/around crates!
