LHF HISTORY

The LHF was founded by three members of the Leonberger Club of America’s Health, Research and Education Committee in 2000 and became a non-profit, 501(c)(3) tax exempt, charitable organization in 2002. Since then, Leonberger owners and members of the Leonberger Club of America have donated over 100.000 Dollars enabling the Foundation to support ground-breaking research on devastating diseases that affect the Leonberger.

So far the LHF has supported research for:

Addison's Disease

Hemangiosarcoma

Osteosarcoma

Inherited Leonberger Polyneuropathy (ILP)

Rabies Challenge

Male Infertility

We need your on-going support to fund more research that is vital for the Leonberger, such as Osteosarcoma, Hemangiosarcoma, ILP (Inherited Leonberger Polyneuropathy), Autoimmune Hypothyroiditis, Cryptorchidism and more. The results of studies supported by the LHF benefit not only the Leonberger, but all our canine companions and ultimately us, their humans.
