Tara is our bitch that we kept from Carys and Zorro . She is tall with long legs and a big coat .She is very elegant and a beautiful mover and has a very pretty and feminine head .
Tara is a 'talker ' and comments on most things with a variety of whistles , whines and song - song that is most entertaining .She is such a happy , joyful girl with an amazing temperament , very affectionate and sweet at all times and in all situations amd she is a delight to live with . Tara loves to travel in the car , enjoys swimming and loves to join in with whatever we are doing .
She is a Junior Champion and progressing towards her full Championship .


Tara at Sligo Show mid July 2011

In July Tara became unwell , she rapidly became very weak and dull , falling and stumbling . We took her to our vet who found her to be suffering from a high temperature . This persisted despite all treatments he tried . Full bloods were done , including thyroid , and they were all perfect . Her urine showed no infection and was clear . Heart , lungs and all organs were perfect as was her skin and coat . Eyes and ears normal .A full series of X-rays were done and they also showed no abnormalities , no neck or spinal problem. Our vets thought it may be a brain lesion or a protozoan infection of some kind . We had taken an engorged tick off her shortly before she became ill .Her appetite and weight remained normal , and no vomiting or diarrhoea .

Our vet tried steroids but she was so much worse on them , they were stopped .We kept returning and saw another vet who felt it was a protozoan infection , and gave her an injection of a different type of drug for this .We were so hopeful that this would help her recover . Within an hour of coming home she began suffering a severe anaphylactic reaction to the medication and we raced back to the surgery with her . Nothing could be done to help her and she died on the 23rd August .

We do not know if the cause is environmental , a virus , protozoan , or infection of some kind .

Darling Tara , the light of our lives , gone so soon . We are left with broken hearts and struggling to make sense of this .

We also grieve for Porthos , diagnosed with a spinal malformation which according to his vets he was most likely born with , possibly due to being squashed in utero .

Travis who suffered encephalitis/meningitis , found post mortem to be Toxoplasmosis .

Recently another dog Cody (litter mate) has showed similar symptoms to Taras , and is being treated by his vet .He has lost a lot of weight in the recent days and is very weak . We hope very much for a positive outcome for him and that the vets can treat him successfully. We are in regular contact with his owners to offer support .

We have been working hard trying to find the cause of this mystery illness or condition , and would appeal to anyone out there , owners or breeders who has had a similar case to Tara's and Codys to let us know  .We have talked with many people and owners in the last few months after losing Tara, vets and breed experts and have researched and to date this remains a mystery illness .Thank you to our friends and puppy people for the great support we have been given during this time .We will always be there to help you also .

Both parents of this litter continue well and have always been healthy and fit ,and are LPN1 tested . The lines are very well known and used in the UK producing beautiful Leos without any problems to our knowledge .We will however as responsible breeders be retiring the parents .
