You may be wondering what \u201cAnfangen\u201d means. Frankly, it means \u201cto begin\u201d in the German language. My wife and I felt it to be an appropriate moniker as we became the proud owners of two super Leonbergers \u2013 \u201cStarhavens in the Ninth\u201d and \u201cDaVinci by Providence.\u201d These two were the beginning for us on this great Leo-journey.<\/p>\n Anfangen Leonbergers came into being when Niner whelped 11 puppies in August 2012.\u00a0 The puppies from our first litter have been placed in great homes.\u00a0 Yes, we remain in touch with all of the puppy owners and remain very proud of our first litter!<\/p>\n Niner gave birth to her second litter in August 2013.\u00a0 Those puppies were whelped by Agi Hejja at Starhavens Kennel in Richmond, Virginia. \u00a0All of those pups have been placed with super families as well \u2013 both as pets and show dogs.<\/p>\n In March of 2015, Niner provided 7 new puppies in the North Virginia blizzard.\u00a0 Those pups are aptly named after \u201cFrozen\u201d characters.\u00a0 Five came easily and the last two were born in the vet\u2019s office only to be transported home inside the shirt of a willing owner to keep the pups warm! All seven have been placed and are doing fine!<\/p>\n Today, both Niner and Vinny are AKC Champions with very strong CHIC (canine health information center) scores; Niner is a grand champion as a matter of fact but her breeding days are behind her.\u00a0 We are not considering any new litters at this time but we are anxious to stud Vinny (fawn colored Leo) and his son, Jarvis, also an AKC champion.<\/p>\n Feel free to contact us.\u00a0 We love to hear about your family and why you want to own the oldest German breed in the world (yep, older than German shepherds!). We love to meet prospective owners and discuss\/show off our great breed.<\/p>\n HISTORY<\/strong><\/p>\n In 2010, we became interested in this statuesque but gentle breed and after visiting the Leesburg, Virginia dog show and meeting \u201cCaptain Jack,\u201d who was showing that day. \u201cCaptain Jack\u201d made us Leonberger-envious and we were in hot pursuit to become proud Leonberger owners. By February of 2011, we had our first Leo \u2013 \u201cStarhavens in the Ninth,\u201d (Niner) \u2013 and nine months later, we brought \u201cDaVinci by Providence,\u201d (Vinny) home to become part of our family. Fast forward to August of 2012 and we are now a kennel, have our two Leos and two of their puppies. \u201cNiner\u201d is now an AKC Grand Champion and Vinny is an AKC Champion. Jarvis from our \u201cA\u201d litter became an AKC Champion at approximately 14 months and his brother Berthoff is also an AKC champion; Berthoff lives in Maryland.\u00a0 Niner\u2019s second litter also brags one new AKC champion.\u00a0 Anfangen Leonbergers is anxious to stud both Vinny and Jarvis, both AKC champions.\u00a0 However, we are not anticipating any new litters in the near future.\u00a0 We hope to see you at our next show.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”17px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Carl S.
