Dear Leo Lovers,

Something BIG is happening on the east coast beginning the last weekend in September and we hope you can

make plans to join us! Three Leonberger Clubs have teamed up with the LCA and the All-Breed Clubs of the Hunt

Valley Cluster (Albemarle-Charlottesville, Warrenton, Old Dominion, and Middleburg Kennel Clubs) to offer an

event you don’t want to miss. At just 8 hours or less from Boston, Indianapolis, and Augusta, we are the ideal

Leo destination for a huge swath of the country!

In fact, the event is so BIG, there is too much information to have in just this premium and the separate

Concurrent premium (available thru infodog.com). The multiple breed clubs who are sponsoring the All-Breed

shows have tons to offer as well. Besides the great information we have tried to pack in here, please check out

the separate premium for the Hunt Country Cluster on LeoTripleCrown.com to see just how much is going on!

Consider this the “Leo Centric Supplement”.

In 2013, we introduced the first Leonberger Concurrent Specialty. In 2015, we continued to innovate with back-

to-back Concurrent Specialties. This year, we will feature the biggest showing opportunity ever offered for

Leonberger fanciers: 7 SHOWS IN ONE LOCATION, consisting of 4 Specialties and 3 Supported All-Breed Shows.

There’s enough Leo-focused show opportunities for two Triple Crowns!

Members of the participating Clubs are supporting the All-Breed Events and Specialties Thursday thru Monday

with close to 300 rosettes and trophies, making these events something special. We hope you'll enter for the

wonderful judges, majors, fun of exhibiting, educational opportunities, social endeavors, as well as all these

wonderful sponsorships that will help us all celebrate.

Tremendous talent is in the judging pool again this year, bringing a great deal of insight and experience to the

table. For the LCA Designated Specialties on Saturday/Sunday, we have the privilege of having Mr. Robert Stein

and Mr. Bill Shelton. Mr. Stein has been involved in breeding and exhibiting dogs since 1970 and has had

privilege of judging multiple working groups at Westminster. Mr. Shelton has earned prestigious recognition as

both a judge and breeder and is frequently invited to judge National Specialties and highly competitive AKC

events. For the MALC Concurrent Specialties, we have the pleasure of hosting Ms. Abby Patrizio and Mr. John

Schoeneman. Ms. Patrizio is a well respected Bernese Mountain Dog breeder and judge who will bring her

enthusiasm and expertise to the ring. Mr. Schoeneman is a well known and respected breeder of Dobermans who is

quickly gaining a reputation as an excellent working judge. Ms. Brown judged the Traditional Exhibition for us in

2013. Over the years she has been very successful as a breeder, handler, show superintendent, and AKC judge.

She is a licensed Best in Show judge and has experience judging FCI shows in Europe. Her patience, seriousness,

and enthusiasm make for a perfect fit for our sweepstakes. We are incredibly lucky to have her!

There will be food, social opportunities, shows, seminars (the roundtable by Agi Hejja will be fantastic) – more

Leo activities than should be allowed by law. The most important ingredient, though, is you! We hope you can

take the time to travel out to Millwood, VA and spend time with your Leo Family. On behalf of the hard working

Triple Crown Specialty Committee, we are very happy to invite you and your furry crew out for the show and

celebration!

Sincerely,

The Triple Crown Team

Saturday: Shows Galore and a BBQ Celebration

It just isn’t the Triple Crown without a good BBQ meal.

Luckily, we have Harry Austin, BBQ Veteran, in charge of

filling our hungry bellies. Rumor has it that David Mallory

is bringing enough of his famous chili to feed an army as

well. We’ll be having the usual fair and fixin’s for the grill,

but if you have a hankerin’ for something special,

let us know by Saturday Morning and we

will try our best to accommodate as best

we can. The BBQ happens ringside during

the show and meeting. Suggested

donation is $5.00 per plate to help the MALC recover the costs.

Thank you!!

Triple Crown Challenge

MALC Perpetual

The Triple Crown Challenge Perpetual Trophy is awarded in the event that a

Leonberger is able to take Best of Breed or BISS at all three of the events

designated by the Triple Crown Committee. The winning Leonberger will have

his/her name engraved on the base of the trophy with four lines of text: call

name, registered name, owner, & date of win. (Hope you have room to take it

with you!)

This year the qualifying events are the Saturday LCA Designated Specialty and

MALC Concurrent Specialty and the Sunday LCA Designated Specialty. The Triple

Crown Challenge Perpetual Trophy may be won outright by any Leonberger

winning the trophy twice in his/her lifetime, any Breeder winning the challenge

three times, or a lapse of ten years in which no other Leonberger is able to win

the trophy.

The MALC Perpetual Trophy is a living tribute to the Leonbergers who have won

at MALC licensed conformation events. Each winner at an AKC license event has

their Leonberger’s information engraved onto the trophy.

The perpetual trophies are returned to any event in which a Leonberger may win.

HEAT REMINDERS We are not expecting heat, but all exhibitors need to be prepared for warm

afternoon conditions during any outdoor show in the month of September.

Dogs are susceptible to sickness and even death from exposure to too much

heat. Leonbergers can become overheated in conditions that barely bother their

human counterparts. Please follow these precautions:

If the sun is shining, a stopped vehicle is an unacceptable place to leave your

Leonberger. Most vehicles are basically solar ovens!

Shade is your friend. We will have a big tent and folks are going to bring

their own. If your Leo is hot, get them out of the sun! Crates can be setup

under tents for folks who have multiple Leos to manage or need to have

their hands free.

Have plenty of fresh water! A bucket and a jug is all you need. Lots of folks

will freeze the water overnight to have some extra cold water for their Leo

pals. Bring a little extra in case someone is without.

Ask for help. If you think your Leo is in distress or another Leonberger is in

distress, please notify a show chair or Triple Crown volunteer. The safety of

our Leos is a foremost concern!

Observe your Leo at play and intervene when necessary. Leos, especially

young Leos, can overexert themselves in the excitement of a chance to play

with their new friends. If your Leo seems to be having trouble with heat
