Our Story
Who
Hi, my name is Amy Frank. I began Magnolia Leo’s in 2022 after receiving my first Leo love. During a traumatic car accident in October 2014, I lost my leg and had several other life threatening injuries. Throughout my first four years as an amputee, I searched high and low for the perfect service dog. I eventually stumbled upon a leonberger and instantly knew, this was the breed. I immediately began researching the breed, temperament, care, and ultimately, breeders. That is when I came across the most perfect breeder that quickly turned into family. Guidance and mentorship from my breeder led me to starting my own kennel...so here we are today! Continuing to learn, educating others, striving to achieve, and loving Leo’s more & more!
Where
Our kennel began in small town Magnolia, Texas. Following my mentors footsteps with a twist, we ultimately decided ‘Magnolia Leos’ was the most fitting name as it tied into our starter females kennel and our location. We have now moved a short jump over to Cypress, Texas.
Why
Growing up, we were surrounded by several breeds. But it wasn’t until we got our first Leo, that we quickly realized that this is what we had been missing our whole life. Lexi has been more than a dog. She has been a lifeline, a service dog, a stronger side, and the best companion. Our first Leo love has led us to expanded our own Leo family. We hope that everyone can enjoy the love of a Leo because there is truly nothing better.
