Leon Warren was a Dachshund handler that started out as a breeder froom the Midwest but soon moved to California. He soon was raising all three Varieties of Dachsunds and became a professional handler. I always loved how he showed and what style he presented to the Fancy. He was VERY succesful as well and brought the great CH Robert de Bayard ROMO to spend his older years in California, too.
Seeing him show and acknowledging how his Dachshunds looked in the Show Ring, Leon was IMO one of the best and is always someone that I much admired. He was the best.
He gave a talk and answered some questions about showing and handling Dachsunds for the American Dachshund in 1970.
