Raising and Healthy Leonbergers

Welcome to Leonrua Kennels, where our profound passion and unwavering commitment are centered around the responsible breeding of exceptionally healthy, well-socialised Leonbergers. Situated in the stunning region of Mid-Canterbury, New Zealand, we take immense pride in our dedicated efforts to enhance and significantly increase the genetic diversity of this majestic and remarkable breed. Our goal is to ensure that each Leonberger is not only a testament to its lineage but also a loving companion for families that cherish them.

Our Journey and Values

Founded in 2019, Leonrua Kennels is dedicated to ethical breeding and enhancing the Leonberger breed. We prioritise health, temperment, genetic diversity, and support for new owners, ensuring every puppy finds a loving home.

Our Commitment to Responsible and Ethical Breeding Practices

At Leonrua Kennels, we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards in Leonberger breeding. Our practices ensure the health, temperament, and genetic diversity of our dogs. Our puppies are born and live in our lounge for the first few weeks so are well used to the everyday noises around the house. We believe in transparency and are committed to the well-being of every Leonberger in our care.
