Q. & A. with Leslie
Why did you start breeding?
I enjoy raising puppies and getting them ready for their new homes. I stay in contact with the majority of my buyers, so I can get updates and pics of the babies as they grow up!What makes your program special?
All of my dogs live in my home. Once the puppies are walking well I start the potty training process and take them outside so the the adults as long as the weather is nice enough. Most of my buyers say potty training was very easy.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
