Below are the oldest from 2009. Do please update us on their progress! ========================================================================================================== If you would like to contribute the same information that is being collected here, to the Leonberger Cause of Death Rregistry information being collected by the LCA HREC on www.leowatch.org you can find the form at: http://www.leowatch.org/PDFfiles/CauseofDeathRegistry.pdf For more information on the project, please visit Leo Watch.
Who is the oldest living Leonberger today? The quest is on!
Tell us about your "grand veterans" preferably 11+ years old as there are too many aged 10 still alive in 2010 and we will display them here. Be sure to send a photo as well

We have removed the longevity pages as now you can search directly for all deaths. Use "death/health" option from drop down menu on main search page. You can type in y to view all dogs or number of years dogs have lived to, eg 10y, 02y etc.
You can also type in various causes of death in second search box, e.g.,Cancer; will show all forms of cancer, or you can be more specific. Try Osteo to see the biggest number of Leo deaths from this cancer. Play around a bit, we are trying to make this search as useful as possible.
We have had a huge success in response to our Longevity Project! Thank you to all who have sent in details of their Leos who have lived to be ten years of age or older. We are still collecting this information and invite you to send the details (note date of death or note that dog is still alive) in an email to ileodata@gmail.com
The Database currently has well over 2,000 death dates (or Leonbergers still alive) of which more than 500 have lived to 10+ years and we hope that owners and breeders continue to submit DODs and causes so that we will eventually have sufficient numbers to be able to produce some meaningful statistics. So far the average age of death is around 8.5 years with osteosarcoma as the biggest cause of death.
