As I pen this deserved tribute to a guy who deserved working-class hero status, both for his persistent, straight-ahead fighting style and the sincere respect he uniformly rendered to Ali, it is snowing again in Manhattan and I’m reminded of a story about a time when a Catskills mountain resort was hit by a huge blizzard. The oxidation state of an atom is a measure of the degree of oxidation of an atom. It is defined as being the charge that an atom would have if all bonds were ionic. Uncombined elements have an oxidation state of 0. The sum of the oxidation states within a compound or ion must equal the overall charge.

The actual origins of the Leonberger remains a bit of a mystery and there are many versions of how the breed first came about. However they first appeared on the scene in 1846 and as such they are a relatively new breed. It is thought they were created by Heinrich Essig who was the mayor of the town of Leonberg hence the breed's name. The monks of the Hospice of St. Bernard had a part in developing these proud and noble looking dogs having sent the mayor some of their St Bernards to breed from. As a thank you to the monks he helped the monks in their own breeding programme by sending them some of the dogs he had bred. However there are no records to support the fact that Essig crossed his dogs with other breeds and as such some people believe no other breeds were used. Spinks was due to face the World Cruiserweight number one David Pearce, but the fight was called off on 24 hours notice after the fighters had both weighed in, due to the BBBoC stance on Pearce fighting abroad in the newly formed Cruiserweight division. [28]As an amateur, Spinks won numerous medals in the light heavyweight division.

[2] However, he did challenge once more for the WBC heavyweight title in 1981 (losing to Larry Holmes by TKO in the third round), and the WBA cruiserweight title in 1986 (losing to Dwight Muhammad Qawi by TKO in the sixth round). Apart from the standard breeding restrictions for all Kennel Club registered breeds there are no other breed specific breeding restrictions in place for the Leonberger. What about Assured Breeder Requirements?

In short after 25 years of very careful and selective breeding breed numbers have increased although Leonbergers are still considered among one of the rarest breeds around. With this said anyone wishing to share a house with a Leonberger would need to register their interest with reputable breeders and go on a waiting for the pleasure of doing so but the good news is that the wait would be well worth it.
