Vonda Rouleau
Meet the breeder
I'm Vonda R., the breeder behind Vonda Rouleau located in Springdale, WA. I breed for health & temperament first followed by conformation. I do everything in my power to better the breed. I have a lot of experience with dogs and am constantly learning new things to incorporate into my program. I prioritize matching each dog with the right home. I love these pups and know you will too.
Q. & A. with Vonda
Why did you start breeding?
I did a report in high school on Boxers and found a breeder who offered me a female. The only stipulation was they wanted me to breed her to one of their stud dogs. I was hooked after that!What makes your program special?
My daughter's have been instrumental in whelping and raising the pups. We have decided to leave the pups with the mom until she is done nursing them then we raise them in a pack as opposed to separating them they are outside during the day and come in at night!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
