Introduction

My name is D'Nae Wilson. In 2003 I met my first Leonberger while working as a technician at a vet clinic.  Those dogs and their owner, Waltraut Zieher (Kennel von Stutensee), made an indelible impression.  I was lucky enough to have helped Waltraut with several of her litters (O, P, Q, S, and U) and, along the way, learn what being a conscientious breeder truly entails.
My dogs are family.  The families that accept my puppies into their own become family as well.

Breeding Goals

My aim is to produce Leonbergers who are wonderful family companions.
I am looking to produce dogs who exhibit the even temperament and moderate conformation that lends the Leonberger toward being a multi-purpose working companion.
My ideal dog is one that meets the breed standard and is:

• vigilant, obedient and quietly confident in all situations. 
  • This means accepting introductions to polite people and dogs and new places.  Making note that every dog is an individual and that they must only accept it to the extent as to fulfill their role as a reliable family companion.
• is willing to please and possesses a good capacity for learning.
  • Our dogs should have the capacity to lend themselves to agility, draft work, water work, obedience, rally, etcetera.
