    I’ve been looking for a new dog for a while now, ever since Mickey died to be honest, but I’ve never really had a specific interest in any breed until recently. A few weeks ago I met this absolutely lovely Leonberger (a 4yr old boy called Jacob <3) and he seemed ideal for what I was looking for. I want an active dog but not one that I have to jog to keep up with (I hike and ramble a lot) and from what I could gleam from Jacob's doting owner, the Leonberger fits this perfectly. So I was wondering if anyone else has had experence of this lovely breed, either owning or not?

    They are a beautiful breed for sure. But check out what health checks they need – i know of someone who bought two unchecked, the male developed serious hd  :-\

    Be aware this is a giant breed that has both hip and elbow problems IMO I would not call them a great breed for walking and hiking they suffer from the heat in summer and have to be cared for like other giant breeds

    Ditto above, they are a cross between the St Bernard and Newfoundland so have all their issues too.

    I’m glad you started this thread as i am thinking of getting a Leo in the next couple of years too :yes:

    They are a gorgeous dog but as above you have to be careful with hip and elbow’s 🙂
