The HREC is proud to present the new and improved Leonberger Comprehensive Breed Health Survey. The survey, conducted every five years, takes a snapshot of the state of the health of our breed. From the data gathered, the HREC makes recommendations to the Leonberger Health Foundation (LHF) on areas in which to concentrate research dollars.

The 2005 Health Survey can be taken on-line or by downloading a paper copy (coming soon) and submitting by mail. We strongly recommend taking the on-line version; it is so user friendly. Useful things to have on hand before taking the survey are 1) a pedigree 2) vaccination records and 3) pertinent health history papers. This will speed up the time required to answer the questions.

The 2005 Health Survey will also serve as the starting point for the on-line version of the Leonberger Open Health Registry (LOHR). Survey respondents will need to indicate whether or not they would like to release certain health data to the LOHR. In order to be an effective research tool for breeders and puppy buyers, there needs to be a large number of dogs entered - young, old, healthy or with health conditions, alive or deceased. Please, indicate "yes" on the survey form; you will be performing a beneficial service for the breed.

Thank you for your participation.
