BluDrift Leonbergers
Meet the breeder
I'm Luanne L., the breeder behind BluDrift Leonbergers located in Metomen, WI. We are striving to maintain the "Old World Leonberger" type with an emphasis on excellent health and sound temperament. We breed occasionally and only with much thought and research into each and every litter. All of our Leonbergers live with us and puppies are raised underfoot in our home. We believe the time the puppies spend in our home with us greatly affects the rest of their lives, so, in turn, spend much time socializing and gently introducing each puppy to the new things they will need to know for a great beginning.
Q. & A. with Luanne
Why did you start breeding?
It only first became an interest to me when I met the beautiful Leonberger breed. As I got involved in the breed, I saw a need for adding to the diversity of the bloodlines in the US and set my sights on trying my best to do what I could.What makes your program special?
I truly believe you need to do your best to breed for health and temperament while maintaining proper conformation. It is very important to us to keep a relationship with all of our puppy families to continually know how they are doing, not only because we care about each puppy but it helps us make future breeding decisions based on health and temperament.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
