| Show and Good Citizen Awards |
Haven't posted for ages, so thought I would
update, the last post was in June we have done
some shows since then, the first one an open show
at the end of June in Dundee, this was the first
year that our breed had classes at this show and
we had a good turn out, Denzel got first in his
class and went on to the chalenge to be beaten by
the adorable Chelan,
We did Turriff in July and Elsa won her class and
went on to win BOB AVNVSC. the next one August
SKC Denzel was 2nd in his class beaten again by
the adorable Chelan and Elsa 3rd in her class.
Our next show was in September a companion show
through our local dog training class (Peterhead
Training Club) only minutes from my house, Denzel
won his class, and Elsa was third, Denzel went on
to win BIS, what a great day, his best friend
Gatsby won his obedience class, well done
Gatsby.
October saw the Leonberger Club show, and Denzel
got a very respectable 3rd in Post Graduate,
another good weekend, I love going to the club
show we have such a good time with friends.
November was Scottish Working Pastarol, Denzel
was 2nd in Post Graduate class, we had a great
day Neala our best nutty friend won BOB, champion
stakes and Group 4, well done Gillian and Neala.
We did our Good Citizen Awards last night and
Elsa handled by my daughter Tracy, achieved her
Bronze and Silver and Denzel handled by me
achieved his Gold. I started taking Denzel to
training classes at the end of April as I felt he
was getting a bit of a handfull, he enjoys it so
much, he just loves to work. Elsa always enjoys
working, she loves to go to classes every Tuesday
both dogs start to get excited at about 4pm, it
is lovely to see such enthusiasm from them.
I will put some pictures on in the next few days.

On the 10th June, Denzel passed his Bronze and
Silver Good Citizen Awards. My boy did so well,
I am so proud of him as he is the most
mischievious boy in the world.

| SKC 2008 |
I took Denzel down to SKC on Saturday, he gained
a 3rd place which qualifies him for Crufts 2009,
so glad I went down, had a super day, Gillian and
David's adorable girl Neala was awarded her third
CC, which makes her a Champion (subject to KC
approval), how pleased were we, the cheer went up
all round the ring, I think you heard us all, up
here in Aberdeenshire, I was so proud to share
the joy with them, don't think Gillian and David
have come off there cloud yet. Neala as usual
took it all in her stride.

| Long time since last update. |
It has been a long time since I last updated the
site. We have been quite busy with one thing and
another. On the show front we haven’t done much,
been to 3 shows since the last update and one of
them being Crufts, I took Denzel down and showed
him in Post Graduate class, he wasn’t placed. I
am off to SKC on Saturday with him, we will see
how he gets on. Elsa has been at a show this
year and enjoyed herself, I will try and take her
to one or two over the summer, she much prefers
outdoor shows to indoor ones.
The dogs have been both swimming and carting and
are thoroughly enjoying it, Leo’s in water is
like a child in a sweet shop, adorable to watch.
I have a been enjoying my new hobby, which is
photography so will update the site with more
pictures of the dogs and of there friends, have
load and loads, so it may take a while.
I hope not to leave it so long until the next
update.
Added a new photo album, "pictures I like".
Changed the picture of Denzel on his page

| October and Denzel Birthday |
Denzel was 2 on the 3rd November, I can't believe
it, the time has gone so quickly, I am so pleased
with my boy, a lovely pet to own.
October: we had quite a busy time with waterwork
and showing, took both dogs to waterwork, and
they both really enjoyed themselves, I was so
pleased to see Elsa finaly swim, she is still a
little nervous out of her depth, I think with
time she will enjoy it, although I will not force
her to swim.
The biggest event on the Leonberger calander is
in October, with the Club Show. A great event
with over 250 Leonbergers this year, it is
amazing to see so many Leo's in one hall, it
always amazes me how different they all look,
from colours to shape. Anyway, Denzel managed to
get reserve in his class and a strong class it
was, his friend Chelan got second in the same
class, well done Chelan, a lovely soft boy. Our
friends girl Brook won her class, I think the
biggest class of the day. and Brooks, sister
Neala was reserve bitch, way to go girls.
On the 5th November we went to Working, Pastoral
show down in Ingilston, Denzel won his class, I
was so pleased with him he is such a good boy, he
did everything I asked him to do, he always does
in the showring.
Have updated some pictures throughout the site,
so go on and have a look.
Have had the results of Denzel,s hips and elbows
back his Elbows are 0-0 and hips are 8-3, and
eyes clear.
