Live Oak Leonbergers          

Our Priority

Our priority is to produce superior puppies in health, temperament and type that will contribute to the Leonberger breed. 



 Your puppy will be raised with our family and gradually introduced to all of the sights and sounds around our home. We will introduce the puppies to a crate, as well as different surfaces. The puppies will play in an area with a variety of toys and tunnels. They will have their first set of shots before they leave our home. We will give them a great start.  Making sure they grow into exceptional adults is up to you.

 We expect to keep in touch with our puppy buyers, and will be available for any questions or concerns as they pop up. We want to know how you and our pups are doing along the way.

Who We Are

Our family's love of Leonbergers began in 1999.  We met one of these gentle giants while visiting a friend.  At the time, we were not looking for a dog, but the Leonberger always stayed in the back of our minds.  Eight years later, we had two elderly dogs and decided that it was time to bring a puppy into our home.  This began the search for our Leonberger.  We were fortunate enough to come in contact with Ann Rogers of Cherrywood Kennels.  In July of 2007, our Winston, Cherrywood's Quiet Riot, was born.  This boy stole the hearts of everyone in our family and so began our love affair with the Leonberger.

Looking to share our passion for these dogs, we became members in the Leonberger Club of America.    I have been active in many areas of the LCA, including LCA Board of Directors, LCA Corresponding Secretary, Leonberger University team, BACL Coordinator, Associate member of the Governance Committee, Chair of the Nomination Committee, Ring Steward at several National Specialties, and Chair of the Meet the Breed Booth at the Eukanuba National Championship.  Participating in the LCA has provided our family with numerous wonderful experiences.    The motto of the club is "Great dogs, Great People" and it is very true.  Through Ann Rogers and the LCA, we have learned an immense amount about our breed and developed lifelong friendships.  

Two and a half years after acquiring Winston, we brought home our beautiful Georgia, Cherrywood's Rave Review.  Georgia will be the foundation bitch for Live Oak Leonbergers.  She has excellent conformation with a lovely temperament.  We are thrilled that Ann entrusted us with her!
