I'm Roxanne L., the breeder behind Roxanne Lee located in Central Valley, UT. A great dog begins with a balanced temperament, good health genetics, and a stellar work ethic.
Q. & A. with Roxanne
Why did you start breeding?
Kept one puppy from one litter and that puppy became my first obedience dog I titled through UD and JH, JUH. Learned a lot about good breeding from training/titling that puppy. Changed my life.
What makes your program special?
Commitment to researched genetics of great health, balanced temperament, and good work ethic. From there, it IS the training that makes the difference between an ok dog and a great dog. DogObedience1st.com is my website and that website includes MyMannerlyPuppy.com website. ALL the training you need is available and that includes online training from puppy to young dog to adult dog to titling a dog in the ring or field.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
