DON'T JUST LOOK FOR A PUPPY. LOOK FOR A RESPONSIBLE BREEDER.
           
    Cherrywood Kennels was established as a Leonberger Club of America Member
    Kennel in 1990 by Ann Rogers. See Bio.  In 2010 the LCA proudly became the
    Parent Club of the American Kennel Club.

    "True to his original purpose as a family, farm and draft dog, today's Leonberger excels as a multi-
    purpose working dog; the most important task being a reliable family companion. The Leonberger is
    vigilant, obedient and quietly confident in all situations. He exudes good-natured watchfulness,
    depicting intelligence and vigor."

    To that end our goal at Cherrywood is to produce Leonbergers with sound type, temperament and
    health, and to use the most current advances in science and research available to make our breeding
    decisions. Our mission is to place each of our offspring in the right home to ensure an enjoyable and
    conscientious human/canine relationship for the life of your Leo. We sell to approved homes.

    We strive for quality, not quantity, and since 1993 Cherrywood has produced 143 puppies. Of those, 13
    have added to the Leonberger gene pool, and of those 13, I have owned or co-owned 7. I'm always
    looking for  serious, conscientious, and experienced show/breeding homes and am more than willing to
    mentor the serious, potential exhibitors and breeders of our puppies.

Thanks to the dedication and co-operation of many international Leonberger owners
and breeders, our researchers, and the generosity of the LHF and the AKC/CHF, we now
have a genetic test available for the LPN1 mutation which causes severe,
early onset Leonberger polyneuropathy.
I'm thrilled to say I was a part of the answer
You CAN make a difference

IMPORTANT FOR PUPPY BUYERS
Be sure to ask to see certification of LPN1 status of the
parents of any litter you consider.
