Our Mission
We are dedicated to strengthening the bond between Leonberger owners and their dogs. We will encourage, recognize and guide members through the many opportunities that utilize the natural versatility of the Leonberger breed.
Our Vision
We strive to ensure that all members of our Leonberger community engage in activities that enhance socialization, build confidence, and allow them to enjoy the companionship of their Leonbergers in ways that fulfill the working roots of the breed.

Leonberger Activities
One of the most rewarding parts of owning a Leonberger, is the interaction between you and your dog. Leonberger owners may be involved in breeding, judging, conformation, companion events (Agility, Obedience, Rally, Tracking), performance events (Farm Dog, Lure Coursing, Coursing Ability, Scent Work, Temperament Test), therapy, drafting, flyball, search and rescue, or simply enjoying their Leo as loving companions. Learn more about some of the activities in which Leonbergers excel below or view expanded descriptions at Leonberger University.
