Stories From Adoption
Heartfelt notes from people who found their furever family member. Health, care, and follow-up support—told in their own words.
We are so happy we found this breeder. I can’t speak highly enough about our experience. It was easy to work with Leona from start to finish. We wanted a companion for our sweet Shih Tzu, Max and found the perfect sister for him. When we brought her home, she already had the basics of potty training mastered. This is an experienced, knowledgeable, and caring breeder with very high standards. I recommend reaching out if you are looking for a happy, healthy pet for your family.
Such kind people to deal with and do an excellent job raising these beautiful puppies! We got our little girl two weeks ago and she is doing amazing! Loved her crate from day 1, is 12 weeks old and almost potty trained!
We can tell the owners truly love each of their dogs.

I bought my puppy from Leona’s Family Affair kennel. It is clean and lovingly run. I highly and confidently recommend buying from her. My Havapoo is healthy, smart and gentle.
Bunny has been such a wonderful addition to our family. She’s happy, adventurous, cuddly! We just love her.
We had a great experience with Family Affair Puppies. I would not hesitate to get another puppy from them. I have already recommended them to a number of our friends.
Family Affair Puppies is THE BEST! Leona and Olivia are professional, kind and supportive. When we arrived, they allowed us to interact with 5 puppies and they didn't rush us or put any pressure on us. They answered questions clearly. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the facility. We bought Nellie, a 12 week old shitzu, and she is wonderful. She is learning very fast. After 2 weeks, she is already going to the door to let us know that she needs to potty. She is learning commands and sleeps quietly through the night, except for letting us know when she needs to go outside. She has learned to like her kennel for rest during the day. We have had a couple questions and Leona has helped us quickly, each time. We recommend them without any reservations!!
Backyard breeder. Doesn’t care about the wellness of your puppy. Don’t trust them
Bought a puppy (havapoo- Wally) from this breeder! The absolute best. Leona is very good with communication and gets back to you promptly. They take good care of their puppies and care greatly for them. I will use them for more puppies in the future as well! Thank you for our lovely baby.
Follow them on Instagram to see more about them and get an inside look at the puppies lives!!

Leona is amazing. We had a great experience getting our dog from them. Highly recommend
I was searching for a responsible breeder who loved their pups and I could not have found a better one than Family Affair Puppies! Such a pleasure to work with. Great communication. LOVELY place! Our tiny snuggler is such a JOY!
I lost my sweet dog after 18 years!!
I decided I still had so much love to give. My daughters’s friend told us about Family Affair Puppies and this wonderful family where they got their puppy.
So we gave Leona a call. I knew from the moment I spoke to her, this is where my puppy was waiting for me.
We are so thrilled with our new addition, Milo Oliver, a toy poodle.
When we went to see him for the first time, I fell in love with not only him, but Leona and family, their beautiful home and facility, the love they showed to ALL their pups. It was a done deal for me.
Our puppy is doing just great filled with the love they gave to him and now to us.
Best breeder EVER!!!❤️👍🏻Highly recommended!!!!

We love our puppy! Family Affair did an amazing job and the process was very organized.
Leona was the sweetest she stuck it out with me and my husband and he can be a bear ? She brought my bundle of love to me and all the extras . From the first time she called me to explain why it is the breeders charge so much for a dog I felt the love she explained a lot of it to me ? There are a lot of scammers out there and did not get that from her she is a wonderful lady and very good at what she does . Thank you Leona
We found Family Affair Puppies through an internet search and learned they had litters of a few of the breeds that we were looking for. Leona was always timely in communications and helpful with answers. We like to interact with a puppy to understand its natural temperament before selecting. We arranged a visit (drive from MI) to interact with some of the puppies that interested us and Leona allowed us to see a couple of younger litters to consider as well. She, John and their daughter were welcoming and accommodating. John told us about their breeding standards and it's obvious they've been doing this for a long time and take pride in what they do. The dogs have safe and ample room to play and are well socialized with humans and other dogs. We selected a sweet 4-month-old Shih Tzu and he's doing very well with training and integrating into our family. Our vet checked him out and confirmed that we have a very healthy puppy. I wouldn't hesitate to go to this breeder again in the future.
We bought a toy poodle from this breeder. It was a great experience. The puppy is great representative of the breed. Very good confirmation and was very well socialized. If you’re looking for the best quality puppy out there, this is a breeder you should strongly consider.
Our experience with Family Affair Puppies was very positive. Early discussions over the phone and over zoom were informative and pleasant. It was clear that Leona cares for her puppies. The in-person meet-up was also informative. Everything about the experience was good. Price was reasonable also. We went with a Goldendoodle. About 6 months later, we have no concerns. Puppy is healthy and happy.
Sammie has been an amazing little puppy!!! She is smart and a fast learner…and very loving…and best of all she has been good therapy for both my wife and me.
We truly enjoy our little girl and appreciate all that you have done in our puppy quest.
On a much different note…my wife’s older sister became very ill about shortly after Sammie arrived…and passed away some 8 weeks later… so Sammie has been a tremendous “support” dog for my wife…and she overwhelmingly adores our new “child”.
We truly love our little Sammie!

Wonderful experience with this breeder. Leona helped us and was very responsive to all our questions. Our beautiful golden retriever puppy, Cian, brings all the joy to our family.
We lost our 13 year old dog to cancer in Sept. of 2023. We knew she could not be replaced, missed her so much that we started our search for a new dog within weeks. We found Family Affair Puppies online and decided to reach out about the 1 year old female goldendoodle they had. We wanted a female, older than 6 months and a dog that would not shed. She was a perfect fit.. drove up and got her . She is very shy and we are working on that, trying to get her out as much as possible. Very sweet and very calm girl in perfect health.
We got our cavapoo from Family Affair Puppies last year. She is absolutely the best dog. Leonya Troyer allowed us to visit the puppies and see them with their mom and dad. Her kennel is very clean and well taken care of. She was very easy to work with and takes great pride in her dogs. I highly recommend Family Affair puppies!!
Our experience with Family Affair Puppies was top notch. Leona was so helpful and patient with us while we asked 5,000 questions and wanted to see pictures and videos of every dog. Our Shih Tzu puppies that we got from Family Affair Puppies are our best friends. They are healthy, smart, sweet and so cute. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our family highly recommends Family Affair Puppies.
I recently had the pleasure of acquiring a precious ShihTzu puppy from Family Affairs Puppies and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. From the moment I contacted them to inquire about their available puppies, to the day I brought my new furry friend home, Leona provided an outstanding level of service and care.
Communication with Leona was seamless and prompt right from the start. They were incredibly responsive to my inquiries and were always available to address any questions or concerns I had along the way. What truly set them apart was their willingness to provide constant updates and photos of the puppy's progress. It was heartwarming to receive regular glimpses into my puppy's growth and development, which made the anticipation of bringing them home even more exciting.
When the time finally came to bring my puppy home, Leona ensured a smooth transition and provided valuable advice and resources to help me care for my new companion. Their dedication to ensuring the happiness of both the puppies and their new owners was truly remarkable and greatly appreciated.
I am endlessly grateful to Family Affairs Puppies for entrusting me with one of their precious ShihTzu puppies and for making the entire process such a joyous and memorable experience. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Family Affairs Puppies to anyone in search of a reputable and caring breeder.
Thank you, Leona for your exceptional service and for bringing so much joy into the lives of countless families through your beautiful puppies.

My puppy is beautiful and my best companion. The whole process went smoothly. I certainly would use these folks again.
An excellent Breeder of My Golden Retriever Puppy!
Family Affair Puppies is an excellent business if you are looking for a healthy puppy. They are honest and up front about any health issues. Very interactive through the entire process and genuinely care about their puppies. Prices are extremely fair. They will assist with getting your puppy to you safely and provide follow up, information and training options. My experience with this company could not have been better and my puppy is the so cute, smart, healthy and sweet. She is the best! I highly recommend Family Affair Puppies.
I got little miss piper...she is one of the best blessings I've ever received. Although only seven months, in the four months ive had her, She's been nothing but loving, gentle, intelligent and an overall force to be reckoned with. No matter where we go we are stopped so many times because people just love her. She's such a beautiful dog and the friendliest dog ever. There is no such thing as stranger danger in her world, as she brings so much joy and a smile to everyone that she comes in contact with.
Family Affair puppies has been amazing throughout the process. I take time to send pictures of her to the breeders so they can see her growth and how well she's doing; I'm even considering getting another one...we'll see... if you're looking for a shih tzu I highly recommend family affair puppies, you will not be disappointed

Family Affairs Puppies is one of the very best business experiences we've had in years!! One look at our Havashu, Dakota, and you know she came from a happy loving and kind breeder.
Communication were way beyond our expectations.
Peggy, the puppy nanny, was an extension of our fantastic experience. She is incredible!! She kept us informed during the entire time she had Dakota. She contacted the us the night before Dakota was about to fly to her new home and kept us informed hourly!
Our experience was refreshing. Family Affair Puppies is an A+++ breeder! We will strongly recommend them for anyone looking for a professional, caring and wonderful breeder. If you want a puppy, don't waste time, contact this breeder.

Can I give 10 stars, because they deserve 10 stars! Family Affair Puppies is extraordinary! I initially met John and Leona when I joined a friend who was picking up her sweet furbaby. Upon arriving at the property, you could tell the puppies (and the moms and dads) were TOP PRIORITY!!! And then we met John and Leona- to say they are the best people would truly be an understatement. They were so pleasant, kind, and geniune, AND love their puppies. They introduced us to a new litter of ShihTzu's and this is when I met our family's new addition (she was just too little to come home that day)
John and Leona were awesome at communicating the progress of our new baby, answering questions, and again, just being kind and geniune! My husband and I have been hesitant to purchase from a 'breeder'-HOWEVER, Family Affair Puppies and John and Leona are NOT BREEDERS by the standard term. The love, care, and attention that they all place on their dogs is truly exquisite and our family will forever be grateful to have found Family Affair Puppies and to have been given the opportunity to be our little one's forever family. If you are searching for the perfect family member-CALL JOHN AND LEONA! It will be one of the best decisions you could make for your growing family.
Thank you 1000x over, John and Leona. Layla (Winter) is the most sassy, spunky, independent, loving, and aware addition to our family. And we couldn't imagine life without her!!!

We adopted two brothers, Shih Tzu pups in early January. We love them to pieces. Family affair puppies is the best breeder around. Leona was so kind and wonderful. This breeder truly cares about their puppies and it shows. If you are looking for a breeder, look no further. Family affair puppies is top-notch.
We got Precious from Family Affair Puppies. Leona is the sweetest lady and was so patient with us. She kept Precious for us a long time until we could get her because we lived over 6 hours away in TN. Our Precious is so well behaved, and is fitting right into our family. I highly recommend this business. They truly love and adore their animals and it shows!!
My Fiancé and I were looking for a new addition to our family and we came across Family Affair Puppies. They are the nicest people and they really care about their puppies. They are very professional and have a very nice and clean environment with an awesome play area outside for all of the puppies to play. If you are looking for a new addition to your family, I HIGHLY recommend Family Affair Puppies!
Leona was an absolute pleasure to work with! You can tell she truly cares about the puppies and sends each puppy home a care kit to make the transition easier. We got a Havanese from her and he got a clean bill of health when we took him to our vet.
A great place to purchase a puppy! We absolutely love the newest addition to our family! Thanks Leona!
We got our Mini Goldendoodle from John & Leona on 2-14-22 and could not be happier!
We had not had a dog in over 20 yrs & never an inside dog, so we were very apprehensive with LOTS of question. We read lots of recommendations of how to go about making sure of getting one from a very reputable breeder that is not just about making money BUT was all about making sure the puppies were well taken care of and maybe most importantly, very socialized with family members.
This is indeed a Family Affair taking care of them! We talked to them several times over a period of a few weeks, as well as other breeders, and decided we definitely wanted one from John & Leona because they were as interested in who we were as much as we were them. They invited us to their home for a meet and greet which was unlike several other breeders we talked to--that insisted we meet elsewhere--which was not going to happen. We wanted to see with whom & how they were raised.
They genuinely love and care about all their puppies-large and small and concerned about where they go when they leave their home. Their home in Indiana was a 10 hr drive from us, therefore, even debated about looking from a puppy closer to home. Since we could not get this one particular puppy off of our mind (their 'Dora' that we now named 'Josie') plus the fact that they had been so nice, helpful, full of knowledge and definitely patient with all of my many phone calls and texts, we decided on making it a fun road trip and off we went! We were NOT disappointed! We would HIGHLY recommend Family Affair Puppies with John & Leona Troyer. The drive IS worth it- wherever you are!!

John & Leona Troyer are amazing breeders. They sold me an adorable, healthy toy poodle. They were very helpful in the transition into fur parenthood. Answered questions, checked on us, and offered extra support. They went above and beyond. I visited their kennel several times in the process, very clean and orderly. They treat their dogs like family. I highly recommend them!
They are so nice and so informative! I got my female shihpoo from them. I had play time with her before we went home, and they gave us her current food and even some medication for an upset tummy if we need them. They are super easy to work with and always keep you informed on what is going on. 10/10 will be coming back in the future if I ever want another dog 😊😊😊
