      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.

      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.

      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.

      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….
