FAQs

Are Leonberger dogs good pets?

Yes, Leonbergers make excellent pets due to their gentle, calm, and affectionate nature. They are well-suited to families with children and other pets because of their patient temperament. Loyal, protective, and intelligent, they are loving family companions and good watchdogs. With proper socialisation, consistent positive training, and sufficient exercise, they adapt well to various households, including those with an active lifestyle.

Is a Leonberger bigger than a Great Dane?

Great Danes are generally taller than Leonbergers, but both are giant breeds. While Great Danes are known for their height and lean build, Leonbergers have a more robust, muscular build with a lion-like mane. Both breeds are large and strong, though Leonbergers tend to be slightly heavier and more robust in stature.

What two dog breeds make a Leonberger?

The Leonberger breed was created by crossing mainly the Newfoundland and Saint Bernard breeds, with some influence from the Great Pyrenees. This combination was intended to produce a large, strong, and gentle giant dog with a calm temperament and water rescue abilities.

Why are Leonbergers so expensive?

Leonbergers are costly because they are rare, require responsible breeding involving extensive health testing and socialisation, and have size-related care needs such as more food, grooming, and veterinary care. Their calm yet protective nature, versatility, and demand as striking, gentle giants also contribute to their higher price.
