Welcome to Panthera Leos
Panthera Leos
Breeding for Sound Mind and Body.
We are proud to be a Leonberger Club of America member kennel as well as an AKC Breeder of Merit.
The Panthera breeding philosophy is, quite simply, to breed dogs that conform to the breed standard and that are sound in mind and body. To that end, we do health and temperament testing on all of our dogs. Any dog that we breed must meet our rigorous standards for breed type and possess passing scores for health and temperament.
Our Leos
Over the years, we’ve had the joy of welcoming many wonderful Leonbergers into our home, from Charlie to Lulu to Billy B. Each one has held a special place in our hearts, filling our lives with love and cherished memories.

“Just wAnderin’ through the Snow with my bestie.”
We first saw and fell in love with Leonbergers in 1992 but it wasn’t until 1994 that we finally got one of our own, a nine week old puppy that had to be re-homed. Little did my husband and I realize that it was the beginning of a love affair with this wonderful breed that has taken us on a journey we never anticipated. The marvelous friends we have made, the adventures we have shared and the places we have visited could not have been anticipated the day we got our first Leo puppy.
My husband and I did not set out to show dogs or become breeders. In fact, both were ideas completely and utterly un-thinkable. If it hadn’t been for the breeder of our puppy talking us into making the trip to the LCA national specialty in 1997, we would just be happy owners instead of breeders.
Over the years, Leos owned or bred by Panthera have won numerous Best in Show awards all over the country. Katie was our first Best in Show at the LCA National Specialty back in 2005. Since then, Katie’s progeny have won either Best in LCA National or Best of Opposite at the National multiple times.
