The Leonberger is a giant breed of dog. The breeds name derives from the city of Leonberg in south-west Germany. Due to this breed's large size, its love of muddy water, and the amount of attention and exercise it needs, the Leonberger is not commonly seen in large cities or towns.

Appearance: The female Leonberger weighs up to 60 kg and the male up to 80 kg (176 lbs), although males of 59 kg (130 lbs) and females of 45 kg (99 lbs) are acceptable in show ring. The Leonberger sheds very heavily. Unlike most large breeds, they have a dry mouth and do not drool.

Temperament: The Leonberger can make an excellent companion with a loving temperament. They are good with children and are happy to play ball with the whole family. They get along well with other pets if they are taught from an early age how to behave around them.

They are sociable dogs that love other dogs and water. This breed should be walked daily, starting with about 20 minutes a day as a puppy and working up as the dog grows. They are not good apartment dogs; they at least need a big back yard where they can run around.

History: The Leonberger was originally bred from the Newfoundland, Saint Bernard, and Pyrenean Mountain Dog. They originated from Germany in the early 1800s where it was bred to resemble the coat-of-arms animal of Leonberg, the lion.
