Leonbergers > Puppy Health Guarantee

Our Leonberger Puppy Health Guarantee

According to published reports, as recently as 1985 there were fewer than 100 Leonbergers in the U.S. .

By 1995, there was a reported 800 + Leonberger's reported in the United States. Along with that surge in numbers, reported incidences of Cancer, Hypothyroidism, OCD, Addison's Disease, and Cardiomyopathy increased in the breed as well.

The primary cause of these increased health problems, without doubt was a deviation from the normally accepted breeding standards that garnered so much success in the early part of the Leonberger breed history in the United States.
