Dear Leo Lover,

             Thank you for your interest in a Leonberger puppy from Tir na nOg Leonbergers. 

              We want our Leonbergers to live long healthy and happy lives with their families. We must be sure that you can provide the time attention and, loving care that all our puppies deserve and need. I want to keep in touch for the entire life of these puppies. We appreciate your understanding of our concerns about sending our Leonbergers to the very best homes. We think it is important that our puppies go to homes where they will be active "family members". 

             It is important for us to know what you are looking for in a pet and what activities you plan to do with your Leonberger. Some folks want a couch potato to watch TV with and go for light walks; others want a hiking partner, show dog, or even a canine athlete. We want to place the appropriate puppy with you. All our puppies will be evaluated for conformation and temperament at around 8 weeks of age so that we can select the right puppy for your household. This does not guarantee how a puppy will turn out as it matures but it is the best early indication of a puppy’s physical make-up and personality.

 We have put a lot of effort into breeding sound Leonbergers with wonderful temperaments, excellent health, intelligence, stunning good looks, type, and structure. Our Leonbergers are raised lovingly in our home as a part of the family. We will expose the puppies to a variety of new experiences so they will be well prepared for what the world has to offer them. We will also start them on early training so that they begin the learning process before they arrive in their new homes. 

 To reserve a puppy, please send a deposit of $500. This deposit is refundable if there is not a puppy for you in the litter requested. When you pick up your puppy $200 of this deposit will then become your deposit on your puppy’s health tests to be performed on or after two years of age. This is done so that the Leonberger Health Database will benefit from information on all Leonbergers not just the breeding potentials. These tests are extremely important for the future of the breed. This deposit will be refunded upon submitting the results of OFA hips, elbows, and thyroid exams, CERF eye exam, and LCA health survey to the LCA and myself.

 The Leonberger is a large and fast growing breed and needs to be properly trained before adolescence to avoid potential behavior problems. It is for this reason that I require that all Tir na nOg puppies attend (at an minimum) two obedience series (Puppy kindergarten and Basic Obedience). I also offer a refund of $50 off the purchase price for every puppy we breed that receives a CGC and/or a Therapy certificate after 18 months of age. I will further extend the offer to another one time refund of $100 to every Tir na nOg puppy that obtains a CD obedience title (or other working title such as water rescue, carting, herding, that requires advanced obedience skills). So keep those puppies working! I would be happy to help you find or select a trainer and answer any questions regarding the training of your Leonberger puppy.

  I also need to explain Tir na nOg Leonbergers registered names. In the LCA each litter is assigned a letter, A for the kennels 1st litter, B for the 2nd, etc. Next, our kennel has a naming theme, all of the puppies registered names must be selected from Celtic Mythology. This does not have to be what you call your dog. I will provide a list of Celtic Mythology names to choose from and a brief blurb about what they mean, I have more information on many of the names. 

 Leo love & licks,

             Jennifer & Mark Richardson
