Meet the breeder
I'm Megan C., the breeder behind Invictus Leonbergers located in Bellingham, MA. We value form/function AND TEMPERAMENT. As a temperament breed, we really value keeping the friendliness/stable mentality in our dogs, and to create Leonbergers that are bred to the standard, with great movement and health. It's important to us that we put our best foot forward with every dog.
Q. & A. with Megan
Why did you start breeding?
My love for it started with my horse. He is a Canadian Horse (endangered breed), and with him, we did lots of breed ambassador work. Preservation breeding was a huge topic there. Without any good breeders, a breed can suffer greatly. I also worked for a Boxer breeder when I was younger. It’s always been important to me to advocate for ethical breeding. I haven't looked back since.What makes your program special?
My willingness to be open-minded, constantly wanting to learn, sticks out. I would like to think I’m thorough. I value type/temperament/correctness to the breed standard. And I don't care if I stand alone; I know that I have the breed's best interest in mind, and that's what matters.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Nike
Nike is a sweet girl with a work ethic to match. She has a strong topline, beautiful movement, a wonderful rear assembly, and more. This girl is my show dog, performance dog, and service dog. Showcasing as much versatility as she can is one of her favorite things. She is 33inches at the hip AND shoulder (even; we like that!), and has a gorgeous topline. It's sturdy and consistent. She has many achievements, including her Versatile Leonberger Award, given by the breed club! Her puppies will go in any direction; I like that about her a lot.
