We are very proud to announce the arrival at Arcanine Leonbergers of "Jodokus Lowe von Walhall", otherwise known a "Grissom"

Grissom is out of Amalthea Lowe von Walhall and Unkas Lowe Vom Osnig, two of the most stunning Leonbergers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Our thanks to Yvonne Natterer of the Lowe Von Walhall Kennel, Germany for letting us have our new boy.

Grissom is now at home in France with the other Arcanine Leonbergers, he is quite a character and takes no nonsense from the others. I collected him from Germany after travelling nearly 10 hours one way on Easter Friday 2006 and driving back at 5 am the next day. Nearly 2000 kilometres and 19 hours of driving saw our new boy arrive at Banassat for the first time.
