In the year 1962 the sisters José van de Pas-Stramer and Metha Stramer went to Germany en returned with one male en two female Leonberger dogs from small villages in the near vicinity of Leonberg.
These three Leonbergers were registered in the "Nederlandse Hondenstamboek", the Netherlands Breeding Register.
In 1963 the first litter could be registered with the Dutch Kennel Club. Two male and four female Leonberger puppies were born. The parents were Alf v.d. Achalm (Cardus v.d Muhlengrund x Daisy v.d Solitude) and Elka v Rossbach (Akbar v.d Burghalde x Dorle v Rossbach). Breeders: the ladies Van De Pas-Stramer and Stramer.
