On the 15th April we had the announcement of a new gene test for Leonbergers ( Leukoencephalomyopathy ) LEMP<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
NEWS FROM The Universities of Minnesota and Bern!<\/span><\/div>\n
The Universities of Minnesota and Bern will start offering genetic testing for the newly-identified recessively inherited\u00a0<\/span><\/span>
LEMP mutation, to accompany our LPN testing,starting April15th, 2017<\/span>
<\/span>(for more details see below). At this time we recommend that<\/span>
\nall breeding dogs should be tested for all three tests:
\nLPN1, LPN2 and LEMP
\nFor LEMP we recommend avoiding matings that could produce LEMP-D\/D(i.e. affected)dogs.
\nHaving only one LEMP-D\/N parent, with a LEMP-N\/N parent, will ensure that no LEMP-D\/D offspring will be born.<\/span><\/div>\n
In a global group of more than 5,000\u00a0<\/span>
\nLeonbergers which have been submitted to our laboratories\u00a0about 14% were LEMP-D\/N carriers.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
It is\u00a0VERY important that ALL Breeding Leonbergers are tested for this so that no affected puppies are born . As 1 in 7 Leos carry this gene , and carriers are completely <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
normal and healthy , one cannot tell without testing ! <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Our breeding Leonbergers have all been tested and results sent to the Worldwide Leonberger Database where all results are posted , and will also added to their own pages on our website .<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On 17th April , our Yogis grandson ‘Otso’ took part in Puppy of the Year 2016 and won !! This is an amazing win over 32 puppies of all different breeds , and will again go down in the history books for Leonbergers in Ireland !!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Also Tassus daughter ‘ Lyric’ Bred by Linda Sebastiani in the USA took 1st Puppy bitch 6-9 months out of an entry of 7 in the Leonberger Club of Americas speciality show . Judge was Wanda Oud from Germany .<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Congratulations owner and breeder !!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
