Leonberger


The Leonberger is a multi-purpose working dog, however being a reliable family companion is their number one job. They make excellent therapy dogs; because they are friendly and willing to please. This breed's lion-like looks and size are deceptive; they are quite light on their feet. They have a range of colors from: red, reddish brown, sandy or yellow brown; they may also have a black mask.


They originated in the 1800's in Germany. They have been a family dog from the beginning, but also served on the farms and as a draft animal.
