They go from clumsy giants to so graceful

sharon, one of the best vids i have seen on breeding for us lay people. you must be a new channel. thanks for the post. i wish you the best.

So many beautiful Leo's 😍 hopefully 1 day will be in the ring

these videos and contests are ridiculous. let a dog be a dog. i got my leo as a rescue, i wasnt seeking out a particular breed, i volunteered to foster and we became attached. a dog shouldn't be forced to train everyday, it should be allowed to run and play, get muddy, roll in the grass, and play with other dogs. thats what a dog's life should be. love then and make them happy

Magnifique !!!!!!!!!!

Where can I do this with my Leonberber ? I'm in Quebec Canada

Gosh, her coat came back even floofier, I hadn't thought that that was possible! I hope you guys are all doing well, I miss you! Love to all of you x

Leonberger ❤️

The Clydesdale of the dog world. Beautiful, elegant and powerful.

Caucasian ovcharka?

Fabulous video! Wish it were longer!

they are so happy! excellent!

5:25 What happened with the population in 1958/1959 and 1962/1963? I don't know how you calculate the genetic diversity - is it possible that a breed has less than 1.0 founders? 16:00 1st generation = 2 parents 2nd generation = 4 grand-parents 11th generation = 2048 great-...-grand-parents 2048+1024+512+256+128+64+32+16+8+4+2=4094 Means 12 generations are necessary to have more than 8'000 ancestors written on the paper, even 13 when you count the child from the 2 parents as a generation. This sentence was worded pretty vague. In the beginning, Mr. Oliehoeks says that it's not possible to increase the genetic diversity when you only breed with descents from the founders, in the end he says you can INCREASE (not "keep") the genetic diversity when you breed every single descent from the founders. Which fact should the viewer believe now? And why were mutations and evolution never mentioned?

I found this video very interesting. So far I am running about 3.7% COI in my breeding program. I have always thought that outcrossing is the best!

Please be aware that NONE of Essig's Leonbergers aka "founders" can be found in any Leonberger today, given that he kept no records and it would appear that by the time any kind of record keeping was put in place none were recorded. And you say that the Leonberger only had 10-20 foundation members. I would have to question that given that both landrace Anatolian and the verified Newfoundland cross actually contribute to the foundation dogs. Whilst the comparison with the Icelandic Sheep dog and other endangered species are interesting, it only highlights the absolute necessity to out cross. Popular Sires are killing every pure bred dog. In a closed population regulated by registering bodies, it is a hopeless case. You cannot increase genetic diversity without outcrossing!

Thanks so much for the great video Sharon
