Leokings Leonbergers

Issa and Zorro both had clear eye tests so she will be bred when she is ready. This is a very exciting mating with a low level of inbreeding 10 gens - 5.47% 36 gens - 26.45%. We expect their puppies to have beautiful heads with excellent black masks and dark eyes. They should also inherit their parents wonderful characters and be loving and playful, outgoing and cheeky!!!

September 2008

We attended the Leonberg show in Germany it was very exciting to meet up with our many friends from both the UK and Europe and to see so many wonderful Leonbergers. Unfortunately our camera decided to play up and we were not able to take many pics, but never mind, it will live on in our minds and memories for years to come.

Tully wins open dog and his 9th green star in Navan Ch. Show. He is now qualified as a champion. (Subject to IKC verification).

So far our dogs this year have won a total of 9 green stars, 5 reserve green stars, 5 best of breed, 3 CACIBs and 4 reserve CACIBS. Well done to them and not forgetting Skye with a v. promising puppy!.

April 2007
Issa was mated to Tulloch scan was 18th of April unfortunately Issa remained empty this time.

Our very first Leonberger spring social was held march 31st 2007 at lough key forest park. The weather was fantastic and all Leos and friends and owners enjoyed themselves immensely. A big thank you to everyone who helped make this event so special and our great photographer Ken for such great shots of it! It is hoped to run this again early Autumn.

Tulloch won his first CACIB under judge Mr T . Bergstrom ( Sweden) . He already has a reserve CACIB , and two green stars , reserve GS, and Best puppy, in only 4 outings .

He has developed into a huge , masculine male with tons of bone , and substance . A dog that has real 'presence'.

2005 was a great year at Leokings.We made a couple of trips, one to the UK to visit breeders in the UK. Issa and Tulloch accompanied us , and really enjoyed meeting everyone.

We also travelled to Cluny in France to the big leonberger show there , which was a great opportunity to see a variety of Leonbergers from all across Europe. It was also a lovely chance to meet up with Leo friends abroad.

On the home front , we were able to enjoy shows with our dogs and both did very well , winning every time shown . During the year , we have enjoyed watching them grow and develop, particularly Tulloch who went from a cute baby in January2005 to a huge lion of a dog by December 2005!

Issa has matured from a frisky adolescent to a more sedate young lady , now even more beautiful.

A reservation list is set up with bookings already so if you are interested in a Leokings puppy , please do contact us and arrange a visit.

We also hope to welcome a new Leo puppy to our home later in the year and are very excited about this .
