About Leonbergers

The Leonberger originated in the mid-19th century in Leonberg, Germany, where Heinrich Essig, a dog breeder and politician, aimed to create a majestic dog that resembled a lion—symbolizing the town’s crest. He achieved this by crossing large working breeds, including the Saint Bernard, Newfoundland, and Great Pyrenees. The result was a powerful yet gentle giant known for its strength, intelligence, and calm temperament. Originally bred as a companion for royalty and a farm and draft dog, the Leonberger nearly went extinct during both World Wars. Dedicated enthusiasts revived the breed, and today it is cherished worldwide for its noble appearance and steady, affectionate nature.
