I'm Leigha S., the breeder behind Southbend Springers located in Wilmer, AL. Since I became completely captivated by this lovely breed, it has been my joy and pleasure to enrich your families with well rounded, well socialized, healthy puppies. With our Polish import guy, our babies are mostly from European lines, so you can expect the best of trainability and loyalty!
Q. & A. with Leigha
What makes your program special?
I strive to build real, healthy relationships with each of my new puppy parents. When your application is accepted, you are not just a new "puppy owner or client". You become an extension of our family. We may not talk everyday but you are apart of us.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include tri-roan, liver white and tan, liver and white, black white and tan, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
