LCA Water Test
LCA All Breed Water Test
Saturday & Sunday, September 7-8, 2024
Announcing the 4th Annual All Breed Water Test sponsored by the LCNW. Please review the 2024 Water Test Premium for key dates and details. The Leonberger Club of America (LCA) Water Test is a series of exercises designed to test the intelligence, instinct and stamina of the Leonberger. Test exercises simulate real life rescue situations safely within the constraints of the test site. The ideal working relationship is a balance of controlled performance and natural independence. Dogs should display not only efficiency in accomplishing their tasks, but also willingness and enjoyment in their work.
Water Test 2024:
- LCNW is partnering with Newfoundland Club of Seattle (NCS) to share the same test dates, site, judges and equipment. The NCS Water Test is a separate test. The NCS test is not All-Breed.
- Water Test JumboRaffle! LCNW & NCS are joining together for a JumboRaffle on Saturday, September 7th. Tickets are available at the Water Test. Donate items in advance to an LCNW Water Test Committee Member or bring them to Nolte State Park on Saturday morning.
