Good Life's Autumn Wind - aka Winter - took 2nd place out of 9 dogs in her huge class, 12-18 months puppy females at the LCA National Specialty Puppy Sweeps competition this past weekend. Here is what the judge had to say about Winter, "Very nice type and size. Correct proportions. Very nice feminine head. Very good neck and topline. Well set shoulder. Good angulation front and rear. Free mover with good reach. Nice temperament." Yeah, Winter!

My sister-in-law adopted a St. Bernard/Leonberger mix puppy two days ago. To say this little girl, Iris, is cute is definitely the understatement of the year!

Our A Litter turned one year old today. It seems like yesterday we were waiting, waiting for those babies to give us a sign that they were coming. And now - they are all tipping the scales at a hundred pounds or more!

Happy Halloween from Good Life Leos! Eros is so secure in his manliness he thought nothing of being a French maid for Halloween. Willow decided on what we call, the Busy Bee outfit, and Aja, the cheerleader.

What a very exciting day - Nick and Aja took their very first BEST IN SHOW, at the Rare Heirs show in Medina, OH. WOW!
September 11, 2007
Well - Aja's ultrasound today showed no puppies. Nick and I have been learning over the last few years how frustrating and hard breeding can be - today was another chapter in that book. We are disappointed and unsure what path we will go down from here. Stay tuned.

Aja completed the procedure for an artificial insemination today. Now we wait approximately three to four weeks to perform an ultrasound to see if there are any babies in there!

Aja is in heat again and will be bred early next week to Billy the Hund Pfaumenthal (Yoshka), isn't he beautiful?? This is a current picture of Yoshka at 9 1/2 years old. See Our Puppies, Litter B for more information about this breeding.

Aja gave birth to 9 healthy puppies today, two days after Thanksgiving and so much to be thankful for!

Aja is pregnant!!! Aja’s ultrasound showed at least six puppies due right around Thanksgiving — quite a lot to be thankful for!

We have now had several successful ties, and only time will tell if they have actually taken.

Aja has come into heat on 9/18 Monday and we are currently waiting for the right time to breed.

Will it be Love? During Aja’s next heat (which we expect to be September 2006), we will be breeding with Vanguard’s Absolute (Baxter). We spent hours going over pedigrees and seeking the opinions of other breeders that we respect in trying to come to a great decision on whom to have as the father of our girl’s first litter of puppies. The result of that search was Baxter. Having met Baxter, I feel confident saying he is quite the laid-back gentleman. He typifies the Leonberger wonderfully, and has some of the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen on a male Leo.

We will be breeding Aja to Vanguard’s Absolute (Baxter) in the fall. Look for more information to follow soon.
