Breeder: Ivan & Leanna

🐾 BREEDING PHILOSOPHY & EXPERIENCE

1. How long have you been breeding, and how did you get started?
We’ve been breeding for over 10 years now. What started as a family love for dogs gradually grew into something more—raising healthy, happy puppies that bring joy to other families. It’s been a rewarding journey every step of the way.

2. How do you ensure your puppies are well-socialized before going to their new homes?
We work with the puppies daily from a young age—handling them, playing with them, and getting them used to everyday sights and sounds. They thrive on routine and interaction, and we’ve found that the more time we spend with them, the more confident and well-adjusted they become.

3. What steps do you take to ensure the health of your puppies?
All of our puppies are vet-checked, dewormed, and kept on a regular health schedule. We also make sure they always have access to clean, fresh water and a clean environment. Their health and comfort are our top priorities from day one.

🏡 FAMILY LIFE

1. Can you tell us a little about your family and your personal hobbies, or other areas of expertise or work?
My wife Leanna and I have been married for 23 years, and we’ve been blessed with six children and one granddaughter. We’re a close-knit family and enjoy spending time together—especially evenings around the campfire on our patio. The puppies grow up around plenty of activity and love, which helps shape their easygoing, people-friendly temperaments.

🏠 HOME ENVIRONMENT & SETTING

1. What kind of space do your puppies grow up in, and do you have any favorite spots where you like to sit with the pups or let them play?
Our puppies grow up with lots of room to run and explore in our yard. We let them play outside daily so they have space to move, learn, and burn off energy. It’s always fun to sit out there and watch them romp around—there’s never a dull moment!

🐶 PUPPY CARE & PERSONAL TOUCHES

1. How do you prepare each puppy for their new home?
Each puppy gets a good grooming, a bath, and plenty of cuddle time before they leave. We want them looking and feeling their best when they meet their new family. It’s important to us that the transition goes smoothly—for both the puppy and the people.

2. What do you send home with each puppy?
We include all the necessary paperwork, a starter bag of the food they’re used to, and anything else we think might help the puppy settle in. Our goal is to make that first week as easy as possible for everyone.

3. What advice do you usually give to new puppy owners?
We always tell families that routine and exercise are key. Puppies do best when they know what to expect and have an outlet for their energy. A little structure goes a long way in helping them grow into calm, well-mannered adults.

4. What’s one thing you wish every family knew before bringing home a puppy?
A puppy isn’t just a pet—it’s a long-term commitment. They need care, training, and patience, especially in the early months. But if you put in the effort, they’ll give it back tenfold as a loyal companion for years to come.
