Description

In 1985, a small but passionate group of Leonberger owners & breeders founded the Leonberger Club of America, Inc. (LCA) with a core purpose to preserve the health and temperament of the breed in North America. The LCA registry strives to ensure the physical and mental soundness of the Leonberger, adhering to the FCI Leonberger standard. Also important to the LCA and its members is educating potential Leonberger owners about the possibilities, limitations, and

LCA registered Leonbergers to be used for breeding are evaluated on their own merit no sooner than 16 months of age and may not be bred sooner than 24 months of age. Close inbreeding is prohibited and passing OFA x-rays for hips and elbows is required. Additional annual health tests, including eye exams and thyroid screening are highly recommended.

The owners of LCA registered kennels pledge to uphold the club's code of ethics and put health and temperament of the Leonberger above all else. The breeding regulations and code of ethics ensure a minimum standard for every litter registered with the LCA but many LCA breeders set an even higher standard for themselves.
