Leonberger

The Leonberger is a magnificent and majestic breed originating from Germany, known for its impressive size and gentle temperament. Standing up to 31 inches at the shoulder and weighing around 130 pounds, this breed combines strength with grace, moving with an easy, elastic gait. Their luxurious medium-long, waterproof coat and the lion-like mane around the neck and chest of males are standout features. The Leonberger's friendly and tender nature makes them an ideal companion for families, as they thrive on the companionship of all family members. Despite their formidable size, Leonbergers are amicable and exhibit serene patience, making them particularly good with children. Their protective instincts are notable, yet they are equally friendly towards strangers. These intelligent dogs possess sound judgment and are excellent watchdogs. Regular brushing is essential due to their dense, rough, wavy coat. They require ample space for exercise and a lot of love and attention. The Leonberger's combination of elegance, strength, and a warm-hearted personality makes them a truly special breed.
