Dr. Liebes' first two dogs were a Komondor and an Ibizan Hound. The Komondor still shares the breed’s AKC All-Breed Best In Show record. The Ibizan hound achieved a Championship and a CDX. 

In the ‘80’s Eric branched out to many Sighthound breeds. During the 1980’s, based out of Denver, he finished championships on dogs of numerous breeds in the family and for others, and placed regularly in the Hound, Working and Herding groups throughout the Rocky Mountain area. He also achieved 7 Komondor National Specialty wins, 12 all-breed Bests-In-Show and finished CD’s on five Komondors, two Ibizan Hounds and a Tibetan Terrier. 

Eric’s first Ibizan Hound was acquired in 1981. By 1994 he had bred a Dual Champion, multiple Best-in-Field, Pedigree Award, and National Specialty winning dog and several other Dual Champions. Eric is still active as an exhibitor and breeder. He has a 13 year old Ibizan Hound, an eleven year old Komondor and her five year old Best In Show son. He has won National Specialties in both breeds. With Joan he has shown, bred and finished Samoyeds, including several with specialty wins and group placements and Bests. 

Eric was first approved to judge by the AKC in 1992. His first breed approvals were Ibizans, Greyhounds, and Komondors. He is now approved to judge all Sporting, Hound, Working and Herding breeds, Misc., Junior Showmanship, and BIS. Eric has judged in Australia, Canada, China, France, Sweden, Ireland, and Mexico as well as for AKC. In 2020 Eric had the thrill of judging at Westminster. His goal is to bring a breeder’s eye to his judging every time he judges, he is still exhibiting Komondors and Samoyeds. 

Eric is a breed mentor in Komondors, Samoyeds, Greyhounds, Ibizan Hounds and Pulis. He is a Judges Ed committee member for the Komondor Club of America. He was the JEC for the Ibizan Hound Club of the United States for over 15 years. Eric and his wife Joan live outside of Colorado Springs with 8 dogs and 4 horses. Eric is retired from his career as a Research Geophysicist for Chevron.
