Have you thought about this carefully? YES Are you willing to change your vehicle if necessary? YES Have you seen the full size of an adult Leonberger? YES Have you got time to exercise a Leonberger? YES Have you got time for training? YES Are you prepared to socialise your dog from an early age? YES Is your property adequately fenced? YES Do you have sufficient space in your home? YES Are you prepared to cope with a moulting Leo? YES Are you prepared to cope with big muddy paws? YES
Can you afford to insure your Leo? YES Can you afford to feed your Leo? YES Are you prepared to be dominant over your dog? YES
Are you house proud? NO Will you mind when your Leo tips his water bowl over indoors?

bounce and mischief. A couple of years effort with your young Leo will be well rewarded with a well balanced adult who is a pleasure to own. If not you have been warned.We are sorry if all this sounds a bit
harsh, but its much harder for us when a Leonberger ends up in welfare. We just want you to know what you're taking on and what a big part of your life will have to be committed to your Leo
