Leonberger

  


Male
Female

Majestic in a generous double coat , the Leonberger is large, muscular, and elegant with balanced body type, medium temperament, and dramatic presence.  The head is proud, adorned with a striking black mask, and projects the breed’s distinct expression of intelligence, pride, and kindliness. Remaining true to their early roots as a capable family and working dog, the Leonberger is surprisingly agile, sound, and coordinated, exhibiting strength in bearing and elegance in movement. 

The Leonberger is dimorphic, possessing either a strongly masculine or elegantly feminine form as shown above, making their gender immediately discernible. When properly trained and socialized, the Leonberger is vigilant, loyal, and confident in all situations.  Robust, obedient, intelligent, playful, and kindly, the adaptable Leonberger is an appropriate family companion for modern living conditions.
