Pups
Leonberger Puppies. Adopt a puppy.
— Puppy plans —
Yvain /ē-vaughn/ Leonbergers is committed to: Preserving the past. Forging the future.™. We purposefully breed to the history of the Standard to preserve type, predictable temperament, and versatile working dog attributes.
Integrated in our natural rearing approach, which combines modern science with natural health care, we focus on puppy behavior and development by using the Puppy Culture® system. Our desire to influence future generations through applied science as well as laying a solid foundation during the critical first ten weeks led to the decision to found Yvain Leonbergers.
Before completing the puppy questionnaire, we encourage you to meet a Leonberger in person. Leonberger puppies are darling and grow into rambunctious teenagers just shy the height of a Falabella, a miniature horse breed, but double the weight of one. Due to their sheer size, it is imperative that you commit to extensive socialization and training for at least three years during their growth period. Laying a solid training foundation will open up endless possibilities of a partnership with a loving, lion-hearted, loyal companion.

April 14, 2022 - Introducing
Yvain’s Brave-Hearted Brida Von Eisbock “Brida”
by Ice Bear Member Of The Leogang out of Bluebonnet’s On The Rocks Ruffina
For our spring-born girl, we decided to bestow upon her the collar color orange for its symbolization of adventure and enthusiasm. This brave-hearted pup has the name of Brida Von Eisbock, a name of strength and triumph. Eisbock, meaning Ice Beer in German, is a nod to both her father and mother’s naming ceremonies.
Embark on a journey with Brida to see her flourish into a majestic, triumphant, lion-hearted Leonberger.
