Before Len & I married, Lens family had been involved with the breed Wirehaired Fox terriers. When we married our interest was not only with the Terriers but also turned toward the Working Breeds.

The Leanzak team have been showing for over twenty years. Breeds shown are Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Rottweilers and Pug. Whilst showing Pugs we feel in love with the Lowchen, and have been actively involved ever since.

Len has served on the Lowchen Club committee for eight years continuously. During this time has been the Clubs Treasurer, and ending his service with the club as the CHAIRMAN 2006-2007.
Len judged the Lowchen club show 25-2-2007, ending his term on this high note.
He has had much pleasure during these years, seeing many new members both join the club and indeed progress and in turn becoming committee members themselves.
