Leo

I first saw "Leo" advertised in the RRCUS magazine whilst our family was living in the USA during 1989-1991. I was fortunate that I was able to travel to a specialty show in San Diego and saw pups sired by "Leo" at "Neema Kennels". I finally settled on "Leo" as the dog I wished to import frozen semen from and set about with the never ending paperwork!! I am totally indebted to his owner Jan Ayers from Texas for all the running around she did so this venture could come to fruition. We are the sole importers of "Leo" frozen semen here in Australia and am thankful that I had the foresight to import more straws than I originally needed. We still have 3 batches left and now I can start using it again on his great grand-daughters. We plan to use "Leo" over our Multi BISS Ch. Usakose Flyin First Class "Tubby" early in 2000.

"Leo's" semen has been used 5 times in Australia resulting in 3, 8,12, 9 & 10 pups!!! (100% success rate). From those 5 litters he has produced Multiple Best Exhibit in Show Specialty, Multiple Best Head/Gait in Show Specialty, Best and Runner Up Best Exhibit in Show All Breeds, Multiple Best and Runner-Up Best Exhibit in Group All Breeds, Class in Group and Show All Breeds. As well "Leo" has won Sires Progeny at Specialty level. "Leo" has now produced 12+ Australian Champions from those 5 litters:-)

Although "Leo" is now deceased he is living on through his progeny thanks to the veterinary techniques and widespread use of frozen semen.
