Danny and Genette Fuller, located in San Diego, CA. In the early 1990's we lost our much loved Bloodhound Ruby. Looking for another dog to fill the emptiness after Ruby's loss, our very young son indicated that he wanted to become involved in junior showmanship. More specifically, he wanted a giant dog. So began our quest. We researched quite a few breeds and visited with many different breeders. One weekend we happened upon a rare breed dog show that was being held in a small park close to our home. A large group of Leonbergers was sitting close to one of the rings. The owners were just as friendly and outgoing as their strikingly beautiful dogs. Danny got down on his hands and knees to get a closer look into the face of a very young dog named Kai. Kai playfully bopped Danny on top of the head with his giant paw. We were smitten. Two months later we brought home Dave, our first Leonberger.

Cu Leone Leonbergers
This lady is an outstanding dog breeder. Her knowledge on this breed is incredible and in depth. Learned so much, thank you.
I lost my Leo Tess almost a year ago. I had her since she was 8wks old. She was a very very big girl a little over 28.5 " and her wait fluctuated between 130 and 140lbs. She is my heart dog and lived to 12yrs 8mo. I miss her every day.
Leos are like having another person in your home, well one that sheds anyway. If you want to be the guardian to one I highly recommend you think of them as full partners in your life and not accessories or in common language dogs. They are highly sensitive and can be stubborn at times. There is a joke among a lot of leo people it's called Leo Recall. You call them and they just stare at you, and come when they get around to it.
If you have the time, commitment and love they are the greatest breed even though you go through a lot of vacuums in their lifetime.
I always said our female who was bit smaller than yours at 28 inch and 110lb was sarcastic as hell. She'd be laying across a door way and ask her to move her response was to lift her tail and let it drop didn't move anything else 🤦♀️. I thought she was stubborn but our 9 month male is definitely worse although he will move straight away of he's blocking the kitchen door as he's ever hopeful he'll be getting more food 😂
Goodness me they do shed their coats. Ours would fill our house all the time with strains of hair ... you would be constantly sweeping or vacuuming it up. That being said... the best dog of all time. The lap sitting 140lb dog
They should really be called the shed machines
@@knockoutgaming3035 😅🤣😂 You all mean they rival the German Shedder? Sweeping becomes your meditation ritual.
The longer I watch this video the more I fall in love with this gorgeous breed!
This breeder is so passionate and honest and it is very exciting to watch this video. Great footage.
Passionate?! More like SUPREMELY pretentious!?
@@princed47130 What makes you say that?
@@wendyhere7204 did you not watch the video?! Read my comment?
My Leo loved playing with the deer that came near the yard. She’d run the fence line and play and shake her butt...and the deer were never scared. Every kid around loved her-the neighbors kids pretty much ignored their own dog bc mine was this big goofy Marmaduke-mischievous teddy bear. Burnt up 2 vacuums sucking up hair tumble weeds even though I brushed her everyday. Absolutely worth every second of work to have her curled up next to my bed...snoring...loudly...upside down 😂 They’re funny funny dogs. I miss her every single day😢🙏🏻💗
Yes most people don’t deserve a dogs love
Thank you so much for making this dogumentary (and other). There's so little info on some of the breeds, and it's nice to finally have more information than just "sheds a lot" and "needs space".
thanks for watching!
If you are looking for any specific info let me know! We'd love to make a video with our Leo to help you out
My grandparents used to have a Leonberger. He was such a beautiful dog
The Rock in dog form. Gigantic, friendly, terrifyingly strong.
I had one once, died from old. They have 2 big problems:
1.- eats like 2 kilos everyday
2.- shits like 4 kilos everyday
BUT THEY ARE GREAT DOGS
Silvia Concha how long do they live for 5 years i heard big dogs live for 5 years thats fucking sad
I spoke to a Leo owner today who said her male passed away at 11. 5 years old is way too young - and wouldn't be a death from old age. I'd say around 10 years is their life span.
plant_limb you mean 11 years and 5 months or 11 months and 5 years
plant_limb this is why i dont want to get big dogs no matter how much i would love to have one they die too fast
Lol... slow down and read my comment carefully. The male passed away at 11 years old. A dog who passes away at 5 years old is way too young and did not die from old age. Average is between 8 and 10 years old.
Really informative. My neighborhood has one. No barky, mellow, looking friendly.
So informative and so plain-speaking about the challenges of owning such a dog. I met my first Leonbergers at the LA Equestrian Center and was captivated. They are indeed beautiful.
I love ❤️ friendly, gentle, giant, large, strong, long haired dog 🐶breeds like
*Leonberger
*Newfoundland
*Saint Bernard
Same, they are sooo great.
The leonberger was actually breeded with the St.Bernard, Newfoundlander and the Pyrenese Mountain Dog.
And don't forget Berners!
their bodies and how they walk are so majestic!
Those are very beautiful dogs
I am now 26. We have these dogs since I was 4. Best. Dogs. Ever
One of these dogs flattened my lab today 😂 he's fine though, they are lovely dogs she was just so excited and a bundle of love 😂💕
Lol with German shepherds, we say they only shed twice a year - 6 months each.
This is my absolute favorite dog breed. When I retire someday, I definitely want one. ♥️
She used to have a bigger annual vet bill than my yearly pay.
Zeke everyone here at Dogumentary appreciates your hustle! I've been busy with school lately but man Zeke stay on your grind bro!
I owned four Leonbergers and was involved with the Leonberger Club of America in the late '90s. My favorite pure bred dog, by far, but mine all died of cancer at age 10 years. I couldn't live through that again so I'm now living with two mixed breed dogs. No guarantees, but so far they are eleven years old and healthy.
Hope your dogs are doing well!
Isn't that crazy? Humans and dogs having cancer was rare not long ago . Now every single person has at least 1 family member who has it and knows a dog died of it.
I say it's in the food we both eat and VACCINES
@@dtcdtc8328 I say it’s in the food we eat and over vaccination, plus that both we humans and dogs have been living more comfortable lives compared to our ancestors decades or centuries ago. So, those of us who wouldn’t have made it back then would likely make it nowadays.
Vaccines have a purpose and can do you well but over vaccination is a problem. Dogs typically don’t need rabies vaccines every year like many vets would like you to believe.
Still don’t trust newer vaccines, I like my vaccines older than my parents.
Raw fed dogs for the win!!!! I LOVE to see breeders, especially of bigger breeds that feed raw!!! Yes!!!!
I are up with a Leonberger, I was only 5 when we got her, and she was the gentlest, kindest most wonderful being in the world. They are perfect family pets, despite their size
They also have webbed feet like a Newfoundland but unlike the Newfie, they have tight lips and flews.
Savy The Lion rly
What is a flews?
@@Mike-lx9qn thick hanging lips. Because of their flews Leos don't drool like Newfies. However when drinking water they get as much on the floor as they do in their mouths.
@@Ray013 Thank you
@@Ray013 our last female gave us 11 yrs of not having to deal with the water issue that our male does. He thinks the kitchen floor needs a indoor water feature add in a German shepherd that now thinks she can dig in the water dish again since he blows bubbles and trys to take water with him 🤦♀️
They are stubborn but they learn so quick! Hair everywhere too but its worth it they are amazing :)
When I was a dog bather at a grooming salon, I had the honor of bathing one of these majestic dogs. Obviously the dog was way too big for the tub, so I had to wash him on the floor. I used four bottles of shampoo and four bottles of conditioner. The dog was very well mannered and did exactly what I instructed it to do.
This is absolutely my NEXT DOG!
StarseedFX have you gotten it?
Great choice! We love ours
mine’s so great he is 180 pounds at 5 years old
my baby is 8 almost 9, ive had him since he was 5, and hes my baby. Hes a mix, we dont know what else he is part of, we think spanish masstif possibly. Lazy, very lovey, ALWAYS has to be beside me. But has the old man stubborness though. Terrible guard dog though lol, all smiles for him! Helps me with my depression and anxiety, he can just tell when something is up! Hoss is my baby i love him
Hes handsome!
before playing this video...i thought definitely another brad buddy this one!!! brad o brad, where art thou?
Galv p
I ran out of dogs. lol
@Brad Anderson
Get more dogs
Anurupa Bhowmick i
I could think of some more info on the breeds you already showed us. Something like, if you are an active person, take this or that breed, for families you take this or that breed etc.. Or a 'how to find a good breeder' video? What to look at and what not when you see a puppy. Some Health based videos. You ran out of dogs but i'm sure not out of knowledge ;-). I would love to see some more general informative videos on dogs and how to care/look for them. If you wanna import from Europe/Japan,/Russia, what to consider etc.
Thank you for this great presentation
God bless
My frenchie has become friends with one of these gentle giants. Such a beautiful dog, he gets a lot of attention 😀 Other dogs that see him from afar get a little intimidated but once they get up their courage to walk up closer they realize how friendly and gentle that he really is. I was curious to know more about this breed and this video was very helpful! Thank you and greetings from Bern, Switzerland. 😊
She did a great job, very educational. Nice work, Zeke.
Brad Anderson Its funny how everyone talks about you in the comment section , but when you actually comment it hardly gets noticed.
Daniel Cuevas - I've noticed that too!
They make a wonderful service dog as well. We use our Leo as a PTSD service dog. He is a wonderful dog!
This lady was very informative.
i have leonberg. I love her so much. She is 3 years old
We have one too! 4 years old. Absolute best!!
Yes!! I've been waiting for this Breed Thank You!
This is "my breed"! And how I found your channel actually, thank you for posting such a great video about a truly wonderful breed!
I found it funny how people are saying a dog like that would be fine in southern California 😂 yeah with lots and lots of A.C. but it is truly a cold weather dog. My dogs get super hot even in Swedish summers and here in winter don't even like to cuddle on the couch for a long time as it gets too hot for them. They come ALIVE in the snow! It's a dog meant for cold climates and thrive there 💪😃 which is why they are quite popular in Scandinavia!
Thanks again for the video and look forward to seeing more in the future!
I live in Canada and mine gets very excited at the first snow, he will stay out for hours.
Beautiful dogs!
Been waiting for this for so long!
Beautiful Dogs, I have one in my obedience class, and know I should have one in my home. Thanks for all the information Shirley Julin, MI
Met one at a dog park in idaho. The breed looked more like a lion, the coat was gorgeous and he sheds only twice a year.
what beauties !!!
In my family I have 2 of them. My mum used to be a childminder and they were great with kids! I am 12 and I love them to bits and they both are girls.
I love leonberger! Very beautiful dog
We're on our second and they're a lot of work. Don't get one if you can't keep it company, can't afford it, can't give it lots of exercise, and can't deal with the mess. They'll trash your house and drive you nuts because they can be stubborn but they are fun too. You also need to watch out when it's really hot out not to overdo it exercising them. They love the cold weather. Not a good choice if you're in a hot climate.
Have they done one on the Bernese mountain dog? If not, they should make one!
Beanie Rabbit ....typical “what about me” culture we live in today.
Bill Manos shut the fuck up rude prick 🙄
CandleLove 09 ok mental case😘

@@readinessmedia Get over yourself, OP didn't demand anything. It was just a suggestion
Please!! Do Greyhounds next, there's not many good videos on greyhounds only whippets or Italian greyhounds. I'm thinking of getting a greyhound but I need to know more on what to expect when their a puppy and up to adulthood please!!!
Emily Neslage they are very friendly dog would recommend for Frist time owners
Greyhounds make great first-time dogs, and are also very good apartment dogs! They're very lazy, they want about 20 minutes/day to run around, then they spend the rest of the day sleeping in the sun. Some people call them "stubborn" but they're just not a border collie - you have to give them a reason to listen to you. Very affectionate and calm :)
Emily Neslage try searching 'GAP greyhound adoption program', they're in Australia. Even if you're not adopting there's heaps of videos of greyhound info. I have a whippet and my mum fostered greyhounds, we spend a lot of time with them and they're super similar to be honest.
Italian Greyhound owner here, who adores her pup. My advice...go with the Greyhound for a first time dog owner or even first time sighthound owner. Low maintenance, sweet, lovely dogs. The smaller you get in the sighthound category, the more high maintenance.
It would be great if you could do one on wolfdogs, it can be like an educational video which would mention how these breeds are not for the faint of heart, etc. Love the videos man!
Buck! This is the dog from the book, " Call of the wild".
I think in the book he was a St. Bernard mix
This is fantastic
Greetings from Québec, Canada. Proud owner of 3 leos.
Was considering this breed but they're pretty rare. Thanks for showcasing them.
wow, you seem to be a very nice person! and thank you for the massive amount on information!! greetings from germany :)
You literally just answered EVERY of my question. Wow! I really want one! I have one that looks like him, however, mines the Great Pyrenees X Germans Shepard
I can definitely see the nufoundland in them .. If I had to guess I would also say the german shepherd probably have a common ancestor too.
I have a leonberger and i love it
Cute little fellas
thank you I asked for this in the previous video .😊😁😄
awsome! so perfect that she spoke about raw diet, I am researching raw diet as a mofo at the moment :)
Best choice of food for dogs!!! Once you go raw you never go back!! The positive effects on the coat and health are AMAZING! :-) good Luck, there is much information out there, and many many Facebook communities out there to help you of you need support :-)
@@l0n3wolf89 how much does it cost for a dog like this?
my dream dog always wanted one
I love Leonbergers!
This could be a much longer video. I dont even intend on ever getting a Leonberger. Very interesting! Everyone has favorites. My fave breeds are the leaner high drive working field labs, Malinois, GSD's, GSP's, and awesome sporty mutts (thats where breeds come from before people meddle with cultivating traits they want to preserve). I like breeds that live long. Im really picky about any breeder doing genetic tests to rule out preventable inherited conditions + evaluating joint structure to reduce inherited hip/elbow dysplasia.
The Leonberger's coat is gloriously floofy! I love the temperament description. ❤💜💙💚
Dream dog!! I want obviously as a companion/service dog for my anxiety, who could resist that face! I also heard the have a pretty good, low bark for being home alone!
Barking with them is hit or miss. Many talk but don't bark, where others are quite mouthy ;) If you mention wanting one that barks at attention to your breeder of choice they can better select one for you. Ours was nearly a year old before he barked and then it was just one echoing sonic boom (you felt it more than heard it). But he 'wookies' and whines and makes all sorts of other noises to communicate. A friend of ours has one that lets you know whenever a leaf passes their doorstep! They will work wonders for you as a companion/service dog
When I use to go to regional Leonberger club events in the Northeast (US) they would bring in therapy dog testers. So you could get your dog certified as a therapy dog in less than a couple of hours. In my group 10 out of 10 passes with no training. These dogs are made for therapy work.... very calm, sensitive to a person’s feelings and gets along with other dogs. Only exceptions are when intact males are around each other... then it could get dicey.
Mine lived till he was around 11 and most of his life he lived with Lupus. Yes lupus!! He was always happy and always neighbour hopping. Loved everyone and everyone loved him.
nice looking dog
lol immediately recognized where she was as a fellow San diegan.. fiesta island!
Would love to see an episode on the Chinese laizhou Hong as I know basically nothing about this breed.. keep up the good work my canine knowledge has increased ten fold thanks to your incredible channel 🇦🇺🌮✌🏾
Hello from Germany,
My First Dog was an Caucasian Owtscharka (Bone Cancer on Front of Nose), Twice was an Leonberger-Pyrenäe, Now i have a Leonberger-Berner Sennen!
Awesome!!! Please do Great Pyrenees love your Chanel!👍👍
Sight hounds please!!! 😍
Living with a Bernese Mountain Dog please :) If you have the opportunity. I love your videos, it is like christmas time when you post, wish you the best! :)
www.patreon.com/dogumentarytv asking for something is cool but actually taking part in making it happen is very adult.
Very good information about your dogs and how beautiful they are😍 Also very interesting about the raw food and the health history in Germany (that the healthier dogs in Eastern Germany had raw food). If you have any suggestion of brands/ingredients etc what to give it would be highly appreciated 👍
my moms nieghbor used to have one in 2003
I WISHD ID HAD DOG LIKE THAT
Really intrested in getting one.
ps
Sounds like shes saying Lamnburgers.
Wonderful Video! We have a new Leo puppy arriving in a few days. What kind of feeding schedule for "raw food" would your recommend for puppies and adults (we have a newphy adult I assume would benefit from raw as well). Btw: I sent you a private note via your kennel website. Feel free to respond at either location. Again thanks for the great info!
Best breed ever
Cool..
i have a leonberger 1 years old and as big as a kitchen table her name is Kiara
Oh what you were here in San Diego?...Nice video 👍
the city herald/weapons shield has a lion in it. Due to the crusades. So this gave the first breeder, the mayor, a goal what the dogs must look alike. Also there is German shepherd in the mix...obedience. You don't get this of the 3 main races mentioned.
i have a leonberger - he's called Simba. He's a lazy boi but that's probably because he's 12 so not long until bye-bye happiness... but would definately recommend to anyone looking to buy a dog, they are great around kids and are generally very calm and considerate. Simba weighs only 48 kilos and doesn't eat that much.
Wow...
I had a leonberger called Bamse
Do Sarplaninac/Illyrian shephard dog. They're a very ancient breed from my country Albania. Thought to be direct descendants of the original Molosser dog of Ancient Greece.
....typical “what about me” culture we live in today.
My Leonberger has been on high quality kibble his whole life and is now 11 years old. His only vet bills have been ear infections and regular shots.
Ayoooo I love it
leo's are great (silent) watchdogs and looking after the family. You most not grooming youre leo to much, we have a dogbloower and the bloower is the best friend for any type of dog. Our 3th leo is now 2,5 years and i am very proud, our 2nd leo was almost 13 years old
My friend has the only leon Berger in our state
Very blessed family! You are lucky to have one at hand, your life gets better with each meeting
What state?
My family Have leonbergdog she name is Sohvi she is very friendly she love Kids❤️
BRAD!!!! Where you at?????????????
Clean dogs
I have one question to ask about them: do they slobber a lot? I have heard varying accounts on it, some say they do terribly, others that they never saw it. How is it really? I am very much in love with the breed, this video confirms most of what my research told me before and even new details like their running movement patterns! And it was encouraging seeing how much raw feeding can do for their health.
My parents really loved our leonberger because he didn't drool more than the average dog. It's not nearly as bad, and it definitely isn't constant as it is with a lot of other big dogs
Can you talk about the Estrela mountain dog from Portugal? I have one my self I can give you amateur pics and videos of mine. He is 5 months old
LAM-BURGER 🐑🐏/🍔🍔 =🐶 That's how the breed started👆
Zeke, is there a reason the breeder didn't bring a male out for the video?
Do the Newfoundland!! :)
malamute next!
