I’m so glad to hear about how you make sure your big guys don’t overheat. My sister had a dog (RIP Bear) years ago, he was a big boy. Mixed breed but double coated. She took him to a new groomer when she moved, and this lady left our poor Bear in a drying cage for HOURS in the middle of summer. She said she forgot about him. When my sister came to pick him up the groomer was surprised and then panicked. She ran to the drying cage and Bear was almost to the point of unconsciousness. He was rushed to the vet with heat exhaustion and thankfully he recovered. The groomer did pay his vet bill and was very upset and remorseful but it really didn’t help the situation much. He lived many years after that but they never trusted another groomer and got the de shedding supplies and just did it themselves after that.

Personally, it love all dogs but it breaks my heart when people talk about little dogs like they're worthless little demons and that's not true. Yes, they bark but so do big dogs. Yes they bite if you assume it's okay to just reach over and pet them, so do big dogs and they can reach your face, I have the scars to prove it but it was my fault, not the dog's and for the record, it was a husky and I misread her body language. Also not the point. It's true, little dogs probably get away with more, oh who am I kidding, my dogs are spoiled but that doesn't mean they're allowed to run around terrorizing the neighborhood. (one weighs six pounds and has one tooth so you can visualize how scary that would be). I understand people don't have to like them but please don't label them like that, they are still dogs and they are loved and our hearts still shatter when they pass away.

I've been lucky enough to see a Leonberger grow from a big puppy to a gigantic hound. And even though it wasn't my dog, it hurt seeing her getting old and eventually dying. It's a beautiful and impressive race.

What a beautiful and well behaved doggie. ❤

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

Anyone care to join me in a round of applause for the outstanding effort displayed with this grooming?!? Someone certainly earned their wage this day. Oh and, GJ Max, quite the patience and endurance.

I did one of these breeds myself. He was 145 pounds and he got me covered head to toe in fur but I loved every minute with him. He was incredibly sweet and gentle and loving, I have pictures of him leaning against my legs and me hugging him. Such gentle giants ❤️❤️

Had one come into work the other day. I was in total awe of the ABSOLUTE UNIT that was a full grown dog of this breed.

What a good boy.

I love how Maximus was just chilling the whole time like "oh you're doing that now? Okey dokey then madam"

My aunt had a Leonberger as a guard dog. He loved to cuddle and would press his gigantic body against yours while you were petting his incredible floof. After you were done, you had enough fur on your clothes to equip a mid-sized dog.

Even with a cold room, water, and breaks, Maximus was chuffing like a steam engine.

@@airbus_a320neo That's true, but It's also about diet and breeding. People often overfeed their giant dogs and does not understand how important is getting them enough exercise. I have very well bred Newfoundland dog. Shes already a senior for a breed, almost 9 years old, and she's in very well shape. She acts and moves like a puppy. But she was always well fed, never overfeed and being pretty "slim" for the breed always had a lot of exercise. She have no problem with joints or heart, also because of responsible breeding, where we are sure, that not only her parents, but also grandparents, great grandparents and 2x great grandparents were healthy and well breed.

Our first family dog was a Leonberger, and we grew up together. She was way smaller than her siblings but she was still always bigger than me. She had passed away at age 11 about 6 years ago but I still choked up when you mentioned how sweet and loving this breed is. She was the sweetest girl, wouldn't hurt a fly, and I remember spending many new year's eve celebrations by her side as she was shaking in fear because of fireworks.

Memories! During my childhood and adolescence (near Leonberg, Germany...) my parents had three Leonbergers. The first one's favorite place was the back seat of my grandpa's car. She LOVED riding in the car! All loved swimming. And rolling in the fresh manure the farmers had put on their meadows...

It's so cruel that giant breeds are so short lived. You'll never find gentler, more loving, docile, daft, beautiful, slobbery companions on earth! We've had several St. Bernards and a Newfoundland x St. Bernard (who was the size of a small bear!) and they've all been utterly wonderful dogs that I'd recommend to anyone. 👍🥰👍 I could never have a smaller breed now. There'd be nothing to hug!!

When I was younger my uncle had an unusually large Boxer who was at the time the biggest, meanest looking dog I had ever seen. He was also a total softie. He loved cuddles, and wanted to be involved in everything you were doing. If you were willing to spend 5 minutes petting him, you made a friend for life. He would run under the table at dinner time, rest his head on your thigh, and sit there panting and drooling until it looked like you wet yourself. Even if you were having salad and didn't have scraps to give him, he just wanted to be part of the group activity.

My Leonberger passed away in January, he got to the astonishing age of 11,5 years. Those dogs are amazing and they are super kind, but the definitely prefer the cold. So you did this guy a real favor with the ac^^ Greetings from Germany :)

The breeder put my Norwegian Elkhound, a retired show champion, on a grooming table to blow her coat out with a master blaster. There was a blizzard of undercoat so thick you couldn't see from the barn to the house.

I laughed when she was trimming his paws, his leg was larger than her arm. What a huge cute pooch..

I used to have one she was the most gentle dog ever these dogs are the sweetest things ever I’m definitely getting another one at some point

This breed of dog is also use as a service dog! I once knew a lady who has huge back problems and couldn’t support herself. These dogs helped her travel around and they were extremely professional, calm, and protective of her.

Max's mouth needed netting, too. I'd highly suggest she get a netted cap like those used for ladies to keep their short hair styles in place at bed. For a dog of this huge size, it would lightly be placed on his muzzle to stop all that flying fuzz from going in the mouth. Beauty Hair Supply stores and well-stocked drug stores, even Walmart, sell loose, netted hair caps. omg! I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. Uncomfortable for the dog to breathe in and have in his mouth and unsafe. I hope he was given water & rest throughout those 4 hours.

"Once I got the coat wet, getting it dry was an entirely different story" Maximus: "At my signal...unleash hair"

Many years ago during a summer holiday in France, I befriended some kids at the camping place who had a leonberger. This dog was the BIGGEST fan of all the cuddles he could get! He was so fluffy, soft and sweet. He would lean against you for hugs. One day the kids and their parents were going on a little trip where they couldn't bring the dog with them, so they asked us if we could watch over him. It was the best day ever. We would lay down in the shadow together, napping during the day. Whenever I see a leonberger, my heart skips a beat because they make me so happy. They're the best.

To think, this guy is still a BABY! sheesh. I love gentle giant breeds. Maximus is adorable.
