For any who are interested, here's a great Facebook group to discuss Lakenvelders, especially breeders in the US. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1081379455283585/

This thread is dead for a couple years. If any here are interested in joining a discussion about Lakenvelders on FB, there's a great group here. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1081379455283585/
