We have owned giant breed dogs for 13 years and currently have 11 beautiful Leonbergers made up of 2 males & 9 bitches.
We lost our last Estrela Mountain Dogs, Simba & Kenya to old age in 2008. They were our introduction into the world of giant breed dogs. Being a very good guarding breed they require more careful handling and training than the more family orientated Leonberger.
Our Leonbergers range from our beautiful foundation and Alpha female India at 8 years old, to adorable Alaska at nearly 6 years old, to the lovable brother/sister duo of Thunder and Storm at 4 years old, to high- speed Lightning at 3 years, our three mischievous musketeers at 3 years old Finland, Austria & China, our little beauty Africa at 2˝ years, bouncy Korea at a cute 16 months, to our youngest addition Canada at only 8 weeks!
Having between us owned many different breeds throughout our lives from childhood up to middle age, we have come to the conclusion that you cannot beat the Leonberger as the breed to own and live with!
We have a saying in the Leonberger world…..”one is never enough”….and it is true that the addiction sets in with the first dog!! Many a time people come back for another puppy soon after getting their first such is the pull of these fantastic dogs!
All our dogs roam free together all day, so they have to find their place in the pack, which does lead to some fascinating behaviour to watch every day!....current pecking order is India, Alaska, Lightning, Finland, Thunder, Austria, China, Africa, Storm, and then the little cutie Korea!
We care passionately about our dogs and the puppies that we send to new homes. To this end we are members of the KENNEL CLUB ACCREDITED BREEDER SCHEME. This is a very stringent Kennel Club monitored scheme to ensure good practice in the breeding, rearing and after care support of puppies. For more information about this scheme and the requirements that breeders have to comply with please click here.
Whenever possible we try to keep in contact with our new puppy owners and update our website with new pictures of their dogs when they email them to us.
We also try to have a yearly get together whenever possible to meet up with the brothers & sisters of all the litters. |
