New Zealand Leonberger Stud Book New Zealand Leonberger Stud Book The aim of this stud book is to categorise Leonbergers in New Zealand in chronological order and provide basic information about them. Please view pedigrees for more detailed information and photos.
As of 31st October 2011 we have recorded 530 Leonbergers registered in New Zealand, including imports, plus one un-registered litter and three crossbred litters that are not recorded here. Estimated current live population is around 430
Today's update includes LPN1 results.
Genetic tests for Leonberger Polyneuropathy, LPN1 are now available. This form of early onset of LPN was thought to be simple recessive mode of inheritance. Latest information from Minnesota Univeristy is now more guarded. International Leonberger Database automatically shows tested results received in the pedigrees:
# N/N Clear
(#) N/N - based on both N/N parents
## D/N Carrier
(##) D/N - based on either affected or carrier offspring where other mate is clear, or affected other LPN offspring
### D/D Affected
(###) Biopsy which diagnosed LPN, not necessarily LPN1
Please note that it will take some time to change all the # or † in static link options to the database,
Please send copies of LPN1 & other health results as jpg,doc or pdf files to ileodata@gmail.com
