Dr. Becket is all that I have hoped for and more in a male Leonberger.   I have waited a long time for a dog as magnificent and loving as this boy. At two years old he weighs 152 lbs and stands 31 ½” at the withers.  His size notwithstanding, he has excellent movement.  He is able to cover ground easily with a smooth, flowing gait.  His temperament is very playful and puppy like and he makes friends easily. Dr.  Beckett‘s head is impressive & well-proportioned.  He is also endowed with a full and very luxurious coat.  Beckett excelled in the show ring by quickly earning his AKC Championship at 15 months with 4 Majors.  With multiple Best of Breed wins, he earned his Grand Championship by 20 months.  In 2018 he was entered in the inaugural LCA's Top 20 Event for our National Specialty in St. Charles, Illinois for his accomplishments in 2017.  
We are looking forward to passing along his beautiful traits in his future breedings.

Quinn is one of those special dogs that personifies the best traits of the Leonberger. He has lovely movement - the judges have commented on this repeatedly - and a stunning chest structure. His coat is a deep rich mahogany and smooth as silk. And his temperament is superb. He's appropriate with other dogs and is an excellent therapy dog. He's done therapy work all his life and he loves it. He has a special instinct for it which makes him welcome wherever he goes in the hospital.

Tug is an absolute joy. He is a boy that will play with anyone, anytime, anywhere. A great example of the Leonberger, exhibiting size, strength and amazing temperament. Judges have given him "Excellent" ratings many times, and have all commented on his ever wagging tail

Burton is a certified therapy dog, an AKC Grand Champion, as well as a UKC Champion and UKC Reserve Best In Show winning dog. Burton loves people, other dogs, cats, and small children, and is extremely unflappable in every situation, from loud events, to hospitals and school groups, to tight quarters and high stress/high emotion locations and remains loving and gentle under every circumstance. A natural therapy dog, he is also certified through Pets & People Foundation and worked over 28 hours providing comfort in the two weeks after the Boston Marathon bombing. Burton has had several good sized litters (8-12), and his gentle and loving personality (as well as his size and head!)have been passed on to his progeny.

Cajun is a sweet lovable boy with a great temperament. He loves people, loves to swim, hike and play in the snow. He has fantastic angulation and movement.

Leo was a confident alpha male with the most gentle soul. He was affectionate and intelligent, an athletic hiker and swimmer, and a true companion.

What can I say about the love of my Leonberger life? Ancho was a fabulous Leo in so many ways. He won BOB the LCA National Specialty in 2002 with me, a rank amateur, as his handler and completed his LCA Championship. He had a great temperament and was used for post dog attack therapy at Children's hospital, using his innate sense of what was needed to make things better. He earned the LCA Therapy Dog Award. Ancho's offspring, with various bitches, did well in the show ring and in therapy. His son, Habanero von Jagan, was BOS at the LCA National Show. Ancho had great substance and was incredibly athletic, loved tracking, carting, people and dogs. He was healthy and happy. A limited amount of frozen semen is available to a special bitch.

Jake's name, Amazigh (ahm-ah-ZHAKE’), means noble defender and it typifies his personality: powerful, loving, playful, inquisitive and confident.  Since completing his Grand Championship at the end of 2016, Jake rarely finishes out of the ribbons, receiving a 1st Award of Merit at the 2017 AKC Westminster Show in NYC, multiple BOBs and Select Wins at shows throughout the Mid-Atlantic, and a Group 3 win in a strong Working Group in Richmond in June 2017!  He received an “excellent” rating from Judge Thomas Walker at the 2017 LCA National Specialty, placing in the ribbons in a very strong male champion class, with comments including well-sized male with excellent proportions, excellent front and rear angulations, sound mover and excellent character.  He has also achieved his CGC title, proving he is more than just a pretty face!  

Revv is a delightful, happy dog with an ideal sweet, steady temperament. In our pack he is the peacekeeper. He loves going anywhere and although we have no young children in our lives, he gravitates towards kids and will give them a sweet kiss if given the opportunity. Revv offers many good qualities including good angles, a beautiful black mask, elegant neck, lush mahogany coat, good bone and he is well muscled for his young age. He has lovely movement and the correct tail carriage. At the 2015 National in Frankenmuth, MI he was given an Excellent rating by Judge Guido Perosino and placed 3rd in the Champion Dog class. That same weekend he received an Award of Merit at the AKC National.

Charlie is the easiest going guy you could ever imagine. He is handsome, fun and loves to go out and meet people. He is a terrific ambassador for the breed anywhere he goes. Charlie has been lightly shown and has done well every time out.

Juuso is our Finnish Bear that loves everyone and everything he encounters.  Happy all the time and an incredible ambassador to the breed.  

Juuso earned his championship in very limited shows.  We are so excited about what he brings to the breeding table...and his proven record of producing beautiful babies.
