From
Shannon White (Lionheart Leonbergers)
in Virginia: I
first met Agi and Sandor at a Leonberger show ten years ago and became friends
with them over subsequent shows and Leonberger get-togethers. Their dedication
to breeding quality dogs with good health and temperament, and their availability
to their puppy owners, is exceptional. Agi also willingly shares her knowledge
of dog breeding and has mentored many other breeders. This winter I had the privilege
of adding a Starhaven Leonberger pup to my household, Starhavens Black Pearl Cap'n
(aka Cap'n Jack). And he is a classic example of a Starhaven pup - well socialized,
well raised, well bred. From
The Austins in Virginia: After
researching breeders for 2 years, we were thrilled to bring home "Dark Green
Boy" (now Starhaven's All I Want For Christmas- Gulliver) from Starhaven's
"A" litter in February 2005. Gulliver is a beautiful dog with a wonderful
temperament, and a living testament to Agi's and Sandor's dedication and commitment
to a quality breeding program. Even at his young age, and with a novice handler,
Gulliver has already done well in the show ring. We are pleased that Agi continues
to be involved in Gulliver's development, and that we have added not only a new
Leo, but two new friends to our "family"! We look forward to obtaining
another puppy from Starhaven in the future! From
Linda Mullins Spirio (former LCA president) in Virginia: I
first met Agi and Sean Hejja in 1995 when they had two beautiful Kuvasz. And then
in 1998 they obtained their first Leonberger--a son of my dog. In 1999 we relocated
to Virginia and are fortunate to live 2+ hours from the Hejja's home. Agi is always
willing to share her knowledge or mentor breeders and owners that need the help
of her experience. Her ethics are unquestionably the finest you will ever encounter.
Agi and Sean have enriched my life and I will always be thankful that a shared
interest in breeding for excellence brought us together. From
Sandy Pearsall: Agi
& Sandor have dedicated their life to the happiness and well being of the
Leonberger breed. The puppies that they raise are a reflection of the love, attention,
and the healthy environment that they offer them. They are the kind of Breeders
that we need more of to keep this breed well respected. My dog, Holly, is growing
into an amazing dog who is a great companion. Holly has changed my life and that
of everyone she meets. From
Julia Brady (Kalahari Leonbergers) in
Texas: I
have known Agi and Sandor for over seven years and have had the privilege of visiting
them several times. The care and dedication with which their dogs are kept and
raised is incomparable. Agi possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience in
both their breeds that she is very willing to share, and I have been lucky to
have her as a mentor. Starhavens Clair de Lune (Luna) is one of the most structurally
sound dogs I have had the pleasure of owning, with a wonderful temperament to
boot. I would recommend a puppy from Starhaven Kennel without any hesitation whatsoever. |
