She is going to be living with her momma, Melissa, and being with her while she works from home.

Litter update on 25 July •…We had a little exposure adventure. Victory and Peace went to the hardware store and a couple other places around town to see new things and meet new people. They did so well. But we really tuckered them out! So much to see and so many people to meet. They observed a lot of new things! They were exhausted by the end of the day and slept the whole car ride home! These two are such good dogs! They’re available!

Litter update on 20 July •…Do you live near Medford, Oregon?! We are going on a family trip near Medford, Oregon and can bring a puppy or two with us to deliver to you! We need to make arrangements within the next 7 days! Reach out if this is helpful for you to have one of our incredible Leaning T Ranch puppies from across the country!

RaeLynn T.
Litter update on 20 July •…Thunder and lightning, no big deal! We had two big thunder and lightning storms come through the last two nights, directly above us. These puppies were not phased! They didn’t even care. They just played and weren’t even phased by the LOUD thunder outside. These puppies have excellent temperaments and loud noises don’t really phase them. This is just one more confirmation of that and of how wonderful these dogs will be as family pets!

I am so happy with my puppy, Gemma! She is such a sweet and smart little girl, and I can tell she had a wonderful start in life. The breeder was amazing to work with—very responsive, knowledgeable, and clearly cares deeply about their dogs. The whole process was smooth and reassuring, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I feel so lucky to have Gemma in my family!

We couldn’t be happier with the dog we got from Raelynn. He has been an absolute joy and such a wonderful addition to our family. Raelynn herself was a pleasure to deal with—kind, professional, and incredibly accommodating. She even went out of her way to meet us at a halfway point to make our drive easier, which we truly appreciated. The entire process was smooth and positive from start to finish, and it’s clear how much care she puts into her dogs. Highly recommend!

+4RaeLynn was wonderful to work with. Responsive, kind, flexible, knowledgeable, and worked to get to know our family to make sure we were matched with the right pup for us, not just the one we thought was cutest in the pictures. Couldn’t have been a better experience. No high-pressure tactics like we experienced with some other high-volume breeders.

RaeLynn was WONDERFUL to work with and SO accommodating from all my crazy questions, to also delivering her most of the way to me in Virginia! What a relief with two kids! We named our girl Nala. She is absolutely darling and just the sweetest loveliest girl! We couldn't be happier! We met the mama, Zeva, as well. And she was so sweet and well mannered and obedient. I would highly recommend RaeLynn as a breeder and individual! She's a kind and down to earth soul and it was a pleasure!

RaeLynn was very easy to communicate with. She responded in a timely fashion and kept in touch almost everyday. Since we were miles away, we FaceTimed so my husband and I could see Maggie "in action" and ask questions. When it was time to pick up Maggie, we met RaeLynn and her husband at a dog park. They brought Maggie and Ziva (Maggie's mom). RaeLynn is determined to pass on the best qualities of Ziva. Maggie was potty trained and could sit and lay down. The entire experience was wonderful. This is our second day with Maggie and we couldn't be more pleased. Maggie is the most cuddly puppy we've have ever had. Her demeanor is calm and very loving, which is unusual for a puppy. My husband and I recommend RayLynn 100% when considering a new addition to your family.
