The Leonberger Health Foundation works closely with the Health, Research, and Education Committee of the Leonberger Club of America to identify health concerns in the Leonberger breed.

Our Mission
To raise funds for canine research that will improve the health of the Leonberger dog through increased knowledge and understanding of canine diseases.

Our Vision
To improve the quality of life, health, and longevity of Leonberger dogs.

Our History
The LHF, founded in 2000, became a non-profit, 501(c)(3) tax exempt, charitable organization in 2002. Since then, your tax deductible donations have enabled us to support ground-breaking research on two devastating diseases that affect the Leonberger, inherited polyneuropathy (LP/PN) and Addison's disease. 

We need your on-going support to fund more research that is vital for the Leonberger, such as osteosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma, and hypothyroidism. The results of studies supported by the LHF benefit not only the Leonberger, but all our canine companions.
