Duncan introduced us to the world
of Leonbergers, and we will never quite be the same. He arrived
from Sweden in August of 1998 as a 20 pound ball of fluff. Since
then, he has gained 110 pounds and has grown into a wonderful,
lovable, goofball of a dog. His sense of humor has humbled us
on occasion, and his happy disposition never fails to bring a
smile to our faces.
Duncan is the first dog we have
ever done any formal training with, and he has been very forgiving
and tolerant of our beginners' attempts to do obedience, agility,
water work, clicker training, and more. He has earned a CD in
obedience, and is working on a CDX, as well as a Water Dog title.
He even put up with being a "pretty boy" show dog long
enough to get his LCA championship.
The links to the left lead to Duncan's
narration of his first year experiences ("Growing Up");
excerpts from his conformation show career ("Show Results")
and a pedigree with pictures of many of his relatives ("Pedigree").
"Still Growing" will eventually have information about
his second and third years.
