The Leonberger is a giant, incredibly powerful, and stunningly beautiful working dog from Germany. Intentionally bred to resemble a lion, they possess a massive, water-resistant double coat, a distinctive black mask, and an imposing, majestic presence.
The Leonberger is the quintessential "gentle giant." They are exceptionally sweet-tempered, incredibly patient with children, and deeply affectionate. Despite their massive size, they are remarkably agile and love to swim. They require moderate daily exercise. However, they drool profusely, shed heavily, and their massive size means obedience training is mandatory while they are young.
