Q. & A. with Jill
Why did you start breeding?
Our desire to influence future generations through applied science as well as laying a solid foundation during the critical first ten weeks led to the decision to found Yvain Leonbergers. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others!What makes your program special?
I hold myself to the highest standard when it comes to my dogs and my policies. I am thorough in health testing and caring for my dogs, and I make sure each puppy gets the proper group and individual care that it needs to thrive. My goal is to ensure that every dog that comes from my program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves my care. With us, Yvain Leonbergers, you will not journey alone. You will journey with lions and knights at your side!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
