She was VERY upset about the AKC recognition...she feels it will be the downfall of their breed. She feels like it will open the doors for those who will breed anything. She has some of the nicest Leo's out there and is widely respected in the breed..here is a link to her kennel The first Leo I saw looked like a lean lion. Then when I judged them in ARBA, the quality was a lot less. A good one is magnificient. Let's hope the AKC promotes the quality, not the quantity.
