THE LEGACY







    It's especially gratifying to watch each of our generations become a little bit better than the previous
    one, while watching the traits I love consistently come through. That is what breeding is all about -
    learning from the past and looking towards the future.

Upcoming Litter
Sassy

EXTRA, EXTRA!!

Our plans are in place to breed Sassy to Bridger later this year.

Photos and information on Bridger will be up on this page soon!
We acquired our first Leonberger in 1990 from the von der Heckenrose
kennel in Il. We had our first Cherrywood litter in 1993. Twenty one
years later we've known so many of the dogs in our pedigrees intimately!  
I've had the pleasure of living with some of them and some I've watched
grow up in our owners' homes.
Cherrywood's Quick Study, aka Sassy, is a perfect blend of her parents, LCA CH Cherrywood's
Had To Be You, (Sally) and Cherrywood's Lion in Winter (Griffon).

Sassy is  "clear" of the LPN1 mutation. Lab# D10-030344

Sassy  is our funniest Leo with a great sense of humor, sure of herself, lovable and the beautiful puppy
has turned into a beautiful adult. She is 28" tall and around 130lb. I see an awful lot of her grandma "Zider,"
one of my "heart " dogs in her looks, temperament and mannerisms, especially when she starts
thumping her tail on the wall in the middle of the night!  Now that is happy!
Her pedigree pulls in many Leos I've known over the years as well as two of our homebred dogs.  I imported  her maternal
granddam from Germany and her paternal granddam from Norway. It has been a joy to me to watch different traits
belonging to each of them come through the generations.

Our "S" and V litters are out of Sassy
. In her short career as a "mom" she has already produced  three major pointed
offspring;
AKC GCH. Cherrywood's Slam Dunk, aka "Hondo" and Cherrywood's Soolaimon  has his majors and is on his way to
his AKC Ch., and Cherrywood's Seize the Day is also major pointed.
Our beautiful "V" litter is out of Sassy as well and Cherrywood's Vintage Wine
, aka  Korkie, from that litter is our up and
coming new little lady who
m we hope will carry on the line.

Incredible v. Dreiburgenland aka "Bridger" possesses the size, substance and temperament we are looking
for in our breeding program.

At almost four years old, Bridger is 31.5" tall and weighs around 170lbs.

HIs owner describes  Bridger as having
 "an easy-going, very positive temperament. He loves people and relishes new
experiences. He is a persistent, and
a very kind-breeding male.  His first litter, by natural service, was one of the
best litters I have ever had.  Extremely good temperaments, deep bodies, beautiful heads with almost black eyes,
great masks, level backs, large bone and  wonderful angulation. "

Bridger is also Lpn1 N/N Clear LabID:D10-031144
