Keesha v d Heckenrose
Keesha v d Heckenrose, (Ch. Alma v. d. Heckenrose X Uto v. Murrtal) our foundation bitch was from Manfred and Sylvia Kauffman’s kennel. She produced our "A" and "B" litter which consisted of eight males and nine females. Of those, four attained their LCA championships (three of those also were World Wide Kennel Club Champions), One, LCA Ch. Cherrywood's Becka, became the first female to be awarded the LCA Top Leo award. Four of Kiersche's offspring went on to start families of their own. Kiersche, a world class fence climber, was a wonderful Leo, an avid fisherman, highly intelligent and started me on the road to developing Cherrywood Kennels. She lived to be 10 1/2 years old.

LCA, RH Ch. Cherrywood's About Time
"Barkley" ( Keesha v d Heckenrose X Ch. Coomar Egon) was our male from our "A" litter and the light of my life for almost 10 years. He was a beautiful dog on the inside as well as the outside; wonderfully gentle, patient, and devoted. He attained his LCA Championship quickly and was a multi-Best of Breed winner as well as multi-placing Group and a Best in Regional Specialty winner. Barkley was the sire of our bitch Stella. He was known for passing his wonderful temperament on to his offspring, many of whom ended up working as Therapy dogs.
Barkley was named "About Time" because for years my husband had lived with not only a wife and daughter but 7 female dogs, a couple of female sheep, a few female guinea pigs and female rabbits. It was "about time" he got a boy to live with us! Barkley lived to be 9 1/2 years old. Barkley's pedigree

LCA Ch. Zider v. Loh Zider (Wilhelmine v. Loh X Achat v der Hirschalde) was our German import from Herr Zerle's v Loh kennel. She was our funniest Leo, constantly smiling and wagging her tail, often waking us up in the middle of the night as her tail thumped against the wall! She never had a bad day and was a wonderful friend for almost eight years. Zider was Winner's bitch at the LCA National Specialty in '97 from the puppy classes and grew up to take Best Opposite Sex at the LCA Nationals in NY and at a number of Regional LCA Specialties. She produced not only a number of Leos who have obtained their LCA Ch. but also some who are working in Therapy. Zider helped our breeding program continue to be known for its wonderful temperaments. Zider died 10 days before her 8th birthday. Zider's pedigree

Darius v Alpensee. Rave is the dam of LCA Ch. Cherrywood's Lion Sleeps Tonight. Three of the offspring from our L litter are showing in conformation, obedience and agility now and doing very well. I am looking forward to watching our litter of her grandchildren grow up as our O litter is a product of one of her sons, with our girl, Sally. This year we hope to have a second litter from another of Rave's grandchildren. Rave lived to be 7 1/2 years old. Rave's pedigree
