The Leonberger Club of Canada

Invites you to our 2016 Specialty Show to be held on Sunday June 5^th, 2016 in conjunction with the Erie Shores, All-breed dog shows, in Caledonia Ontario – a beautiful outdoor show on the shores of the Grand River.

The weekend will feature 2 Leonberger Specialty Shows with both the Leonberger Club of Canada and the Leonberger Club of Ontario each holding their annual event. In addition, there will be 4 All-breed conformation shows – altogether, you will have 6 opportunities to earn points on your Leonberger. You could earn your Canadian Championship in just one weekend!

William (Bill) Shelton has been approved as the judges for our Specialty event. From Pomona, California, Bill has been involved in the sport of purebred dogs since childhood. He has owned, bred, and shown multiple Best in Show and specialty-winning dogs in several breeds.

His Coventry Kennel was elected “2012 Breeder of the Year” by the five-decade tradition of the DR Winkie awards.

Mr. Shelton writes on a wide range of dog-related topics for several publications and has lectured on canine anatomy at AKC Judges Institutes.

His judging career has taken him to many fascinating places around the world. He says his “greatest pleasure is adjudicating national specialties, and events like the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship.”

The Leonberger Club of Canada will be offering sweepstakes for veterans and puppies. In addition, there will be raffle items, trophies and prizes.

Our American friends really get value for their dollar as a result of the terrific exchange rate. Mark your calendars for June 3 – 6, 2016 and book you accommodation. Check www.erieshoreskennelclub.net for a list.

The Leonberger Club of Ontario presents a special, in depth seminar on…

“The Leonberger”

Presented by Mary Decher

When: Sunday October 24, 2010

Mary Decher has been involved in the breed since 1982 when she and her family saw their first Leonberger while living in Germany. They returned home to America shortly afterwards with a female puppy who literally changed their lives. Eventually, they located several other Leo owners, called a meeting in 1985 in Denver, and formed an Independent Leonberger Club that has just celebrated its 25th year. Through the years Mary has been, and still is, an active member, breeder / stud owner, officer, and past president of the club, as well as an LCA judge. She has participated in several German judging clinics looking at the Leonberger. Her most recent accomplishment was the development and publication of “The Leonberger: An Illustrated Breed Standard.”

We have added a page to report on Canadian Leonberger LPN1 genetic test results.  For more information please click here.
