[@annademo]

We have a female Leo and she is the sweetest dog. Requires lots of brushing, yes. And some exercise. Not a dog for couch potatoes or small apartments in the city.

One found us as a stray and the owner said we can keep him. Not very common in the US we've only had him for 6 months but the whole family loves him and he fit right in with my sheppards.

[@Rocadog]

You are great for taking care of him 👍

[@Rocadog]

Yes i agree, they are very similar 👍

[@user-js7vc3es3j]

Quite similar look, but absolutely different personality! Great family dog!

[@kayceegreer4418]

I don't care what the standards for the breed say, I think it's a fault of genetics that two different types of hair grow on the ears. It's as if the dog gods could not make up their mind...long or short?...and went to battle and forgot to finish the job....

[@tritchie6272]

I think that narrator might be just as pasty as I am. And I have reddish hair and work nights. As for the dog,if I could afford it I'd probably be interested in it. I do have a question though. I have read that they are loyal and Protective but nonagressive. If we had 1 in the home and somebody broke in on my wife while I was at work,would the Leonberger take care of business if the intruder called the bluff? I have seen video's that makes me think they are great with kids. That is a plus in my mind. After all if my kids are unfortunately old enough to start having kids.But having a disabled wife sometimes makes me desire more protection for our home than our current little JR mix can give. Thankfully we don't live in a high crime community. Although latley it seems to many people are getting off the interstate while passing by and doing things they shouldn't.

We have had a total of 5 Leo's, currently 3 of them. They are definitely good family dogs, very friendly with children and seek plenty of interaction with their people. Ours are amazing watch dogs. Our male is big and intimidating to strangers with his deep black mask and dark coat. His bark is very loud and stops people in their tracks. He's a beautiful dog but he has sent delivery people running back to their truck with his bark alone. But he is the biggest baby with the family and friends. Our first Leo was a female, and she was very protective of my wife. We recommend people visit with Leonberger owners and get familiar with them before ever getting one. Go to any dog shows that come to your area and see them. Talk to Leo breeders. A good breeder will be honest with you about the pros and cons of owning one. There are plenty reasons not to get one. They are a lot of work to keep clean and groomed, not cheap to feed properly, some do but they don't normally live beyond 10 years. If you want a couch potato a Leo isn't for you. They need of plenty daily exercise. We have 2 acres that are fenced in so ours can go out and run together. A bored Leo can be destructive in the house. You don't need 2 acres but be committed to getting them exercise.
