Meet the breeder

I'm Michelle J., the breeder behind Leadhill Labs located in Mansfield, MO. We raise the puppies as a family but I take great pride in raising such great pups and having the best dogs. We all love nothing more than playing and loving our dogs and puppies! Breeding well-socialized healthy dogs and finding them the perfect family to love them forever brings us so much joy.

Q. & A. with Michelle

  • Why did you start breeding?

    It started with male and females puppies. I Came up with the idea to let them have a litter. They had their first litter in 2011, I figured out that I love this and I'm pretty good at it. And here we are.
  • What makes your program special?

    We are very picky about the quality of dog we bring into our program. All possible future breeding must go through a series of genetic testing before becoming a candidate to breed. We go for certain health, temperament, and look.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    Working with Michelle was a very easy and exciting experience! With it being my first time getting a puppy. Michelle made it very easy and explained any questions I had. Once we met Michelle and her husband we knew we made the best decision. Highly recommend Michelle! Couldn’t ask for a better best friend!

    Michelle was fantastic. It was our first time getting a pet from a breeder. We talked with her and she walked us through everything. She even helped us find someone who could bring him to Colorado. And had great advice. She sent pictures updating us on his development. He is happy and healthy and our new love.

    Michelle responded quick, and was super helpful in those responses. Never did I have a bad thought during this process. I’ve had my puppy for almost 2 weeks now and he’s great. He’s super smart and part of that is because she kindly started training prior to me picking up. I recommend her to anyone looking to get a new best friend!

    Stacey K.

    Verified owner · June 2025

    Michelle was quick to respond and super helpful in answering all of our questions. You can tell that she truly cares for each puppy and wants to see them find wonderful families and forever homes. I couldn’t recommend Michelle enough. Whenever we get our 2nd dog, Leadhill Labs is where we’re gonna go!
