Laurie Daniel is the owner and primary midwife for all her dogs. She is a strong advocate for the rights of dogs raised in kennels and she sits on several boards dealing with the care and breeding of dogs commercially. She invites and insists on annual visits by the AKC and the USDA. She is proud of the fact that they invariably compliment her on the professional way she runs her kennel. They compare Bois D’Arc Kennel favorably to other well-run major kennels in the USA.

Laurie cares about all her dogs and seeks to place her puppies in good homes. As a result, she does not sell her dogs to brokers or pet stores. She sells only to individuals with whom she spends considerable time at the time of adoption. Laurie personally instructs new owners in the proper care of their new puppy. She also provides a puppy pack with all the important items an owner will need immediately. Tours of the kennel are available on request. Laurie is always immensely pleased to hear from families who adopt her puppies and papers a portion of her offices with their pictures.
