Leonbergers are not farm dogs, but they are also too large and heavy to be lap dogs, even though they feel most comfortable under the gentle hands of their humans. However, the Leonberger's need for closeness is not the only criterion to consider when thinking about welcoming one of these usually gentle and particularly people-oriented giant breeds into your home. This wonderful book addresses the demands that a Leonberger places on its humans, serving as both a guide and a love letter to these often sensitive yet imposing giant dogs, who can be "simply stunning" in the truest sense of the word. Those who wish to open their hearts to a Leonberger, understand him from the very beginning, and experience his calmness as an outstanding character trait will find this homage to the Swabian Lion to be a perfect choice.
