Huge thank you to the Parkland Outdoor Show for having us out this weekend! 🐾

We had an awesome time showcasing the rat sports, meeting so many great people, and talking dogs all day, and representing our favourite brand- Ruffland! It’s always a great experience being part of an event that brings the community together like this.

We really appreciate the opportunity and hope to be back again! 🙌

Did you come check out the show? Do you want the dogs back in 2027?

We are set up and ready to go! 🐾

We’re heading down to the Parkland Outdoor Show & Expo today and tomorrow to do demos and showcase what rat finding is all about — fast, fun, and a great outlet for your dog’s natural instincts!

Bringing dogs and helping out is our friends from Just Fur Paws (who brought Ruffland products 👀) and Range Road Retriever — so be sure to stop by, say hi, and check everything out including meeting some dogs and rats! 🐀

Whether you’re curious about the rat find sports or just want to watch some dogs have a blast, come see us! 🐶💨

I love random recalls 😍🐾

There’s nothing better than calling your dog out of real life—distractions, movement, chaos—and watching them choose YOU 🔥

These little terriers understood the assignment 💪
Fast responses, happy attitudes, and zero hesitation 👏

This is where training pays off:
✔ not just in drills
✔ not just in class
✔ but in everyday moments

Because a solid recall isn’t just impressive… it’s freedom, safety, and connection all in one

Keep it fun, keep it random, and make coming back the best decision your dog can make 🐶✨

Happy St Patrick’s Day 💚

One of the thing that always fascinates me about dogs in the breed history! Here is a good read on an Irish breed for St Patrick’s Day!

Most St. Patrick's Day posts will show you green beer and leprechauns. Today we want to honor the Irish Wolfhound — known in ancient Gaelic as the Cú Faoil — which was owned by kings, gifted to emperors, used as a weapon of war, and nearly wiped from the earth twice. This is the story of a breed that outlasted empires, and what it tells us about the ancient bond between serious people and serious dogs.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from all of us at Leerburg. 🍀

To the dogs that outlasted empires — we see you.

Sláinte to the Cú Faoil.
