October 2008
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.

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.
Show news .
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.
We plan a
autumn/winter
litter from them
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 .
Till next month ,
Bye from Leokings.
