The Leonberger Club of Ontario presents a special, in depth seminar on…

“The Leonberger”

Presented by Mary Decher

When: Sunday October 24, 2010

Mary Decher has been involved in the breed since 1982 when she and her family saw their first Leonberger while living in Germany. They returned home to America shortly afterwards with a female puppy who literally changed their lives. Eventually, they located several other Leo owners, called a meeting in 1985 in Denver, and formed an Independent Leonberger Club that has just celebrated its 25th year. Through the years Mary has been, and still is, an active member, breeder / stud owner, officer, and past president of the club, as well as an LCA judge. She has participated in several German judging clinics looking at the Leonberger. Her most recent accomplishment was the development and publication of “The Leonberger: An Illustrated Breed Standard.”
