25 Photos of Leonbergers with Other Dogs

In the past I’ve made a few posts featuring 25 photos of Leonbergers around a certain theme.

This is another post featuring 25 photos. This time it is photos of Leonbergers in the company of other dogs. Most of the photos are of our late Leonberger Bronco and the dogs he grew up with (our Labrador Baylor, German Shepherd Baby, Japanese Chin Ryu, Pug Daisy, and mini-Australian Shepherd Rollo). However, I have also included photos of other Leonbergers. A few photos from friends and two stock photos. I hope you will like them.

A black-brown German Shephard is playing with a young Leonberger lying on his back.
Baby (German Shepherd) is playing with our four months old Leonberger Bronco.
A young gangly Leonberger with a bandage on his knee is next to a little Chihuahua. The two owners of the little dog are a lady in blue jeans and a lady in white pants. The lady with white pants is also wearing a bandage on her knee.
Our Leonberger Bronco at the dog park at five/six months old. He is wearing a bandage on his knee because he got a condition from growing too fast. The two ladies are the owners of the little dog.
A Leonberger is sniffing a black dog. It is probably a black lab.

Our not yet one year old Leonberger Bronco at the dog park. Bronco has not yet finished growing, he has not yet filled out and he is gangly. Not quite the Leonberger look yet. Our beige-brown Labrador Baylor can be seen in the background.

My name is Thomas Wikman. I am a software/robotics engineer with a background in physics. I am currently retired. I took early retirement. I am a dog lover, and especially a Leonberger lover, a home brewer, craft beer enthusiast, I’m learning French, and I am an avid reader. I live in Dallas, Texas, but I am originally from Sweden. I am married to Claudia, and we have three children. I have two blogs. The first feature the crazy adventures of our Leonberger Le Bronco von der Löwenhöhle as well as information on Leonbergers. The second blog, superfactful, feature information and facts I think are very interesting. With this blog I would like to create a list of facts that are accepted as true among the experts of the field and yet disputed amongst the public or highly surprising. These facts are special and in lieu of a better word I call them super-facts.

    1. Thank you so much Pooja. Yes in general Leonbergers have a friendly and calm disposition and they tend to be protective of children and small dogs, but like all dogs they need to be trained and know their place.

    1. Thank you so much Sue. Most of the time Bronco was well behaved but sometimes, and for a period in his youth he was not. The storm drain incident was stressful. He was barking at a man with a dog across the street who at first at me with a puzzled expression and then lifted up his dog and ran. That was actually the best way he could have helped. Bronco calmed down and I could lift up Baby (the German Shepherd). After that Baby refused to walk with Bronco so I had to take them separately.

      1. Poor Baby, I can understand Baby’s reluctance to walk with Bronco, it must have been traumatising for Baby as well as for you.
        And the man who ran with dog in arms, seeing such a huge dog pulling you on the leash face down 😉😆.
        Funny now, but not then 😀

  8. Lifelong big dog lover here, though we’ve never owned a Leonberger. We’ve mostly raised a lot of labs over the years. Was Bronco’s disposition as friendly as it seems? Do they traditionally have shorter lives than most breeds? Nice to meet you, Thomas. (I have a brother by the same name.) I’ve seen you on several of the same blogs I follow.

    1. That sounds great. We only had a lab once, but they are wonderful and friendly dogs, hungry though. Bronco was pretty friendly most of the time. He got along well with other dogs, protected the smaller dogs, saved their lives, he found run away hamsters and saved their life too, and he loved to meet people. He wanted people to pet him. Instead of people asking me if they could pet my dog, I asked people if they minded petting my dog. But there were occasions when he was not well behaved. Like most giant breeds, Leonbergers live a short life, on average 8-10 years, but the Leonberger Health Foundation International has succeeded in extending the lifespan. It used to be shorter. Our Leonberger lived to 13 years and therefore the Leonberger Health Foundation gave him a price and asked for his DNA, which we submitted. Nice to meet you too.

      1. Thanks for the info. I’ll pick up The Life and Times of Le Bronco tonight when I make my usual contribution to Amazon. 🤣

    2. Wow thank you Pete. I decided to look you up and I saw that you were a teacher and that you wrote a book. It looks very interesting and I went ahead and bought the paperback. I am very grateful for the work that teachers do. You have a challenging and important job. My three children are grown now but the teachers they had meant a lot. It is also teacher’s appreciation week this week. So thank you for all that you’ve done.

      1. Thank you, Thomas. I’ve got a couple of other books that I need to finish before yours, but I’ll get to it in the next couple of weeks. I’ll be sure and leave you a review on Amazon and Goodreads afterward.

    2. Yes I agree. And sometimes when I requested a drawing and she was in front of the computer she gave me a sketch within minutes asking for my opinion. She was very quick and she wouldn’t quit until I was happy with it. Also, we signed a real business contract.

    3. Yes contracts are important and you don’t need to involve a lawyer for simple stuff. She had premade one page contracts. Basically it stated that she does the drawing for a fixed price and then you are free to use it anyway you like but that you need to give credit in the book. In addition, we agreed via email (also legally binding), that she wanted credit on my blog but it was not needed for social media.

    1. Yes you are right. Our Rollo is the most misbehaved and spoiled dog that we’ve ever had, by far. If he was a big 135 pound dog that would have been totally unacceptable and we would have worked really hard trying to fix it. However, I think Leonbergers and the giant breeds related to Leonbergers, Saint Bernards, New Foundlands, .. are also naturally calmer and easier to train by nature.

    2. Yes I think you are right. But the original breeder Essig intentionally tried to breed a big friendly family dog. I can add 135lbs was when Bronco was at his slimmest. When he was overweight he was 167lbs, but we fixed that. Our veterinary told us it is time to lose weight and Bronco was not happy.

      1. Ah my doggie wasn’t thrilled about dieting but left to her own devices, she would gladly explode from eating. I think different breeds have different appetites too. My prior dogs only ate as much as they needed. And appetite shapes personality. The others were more affection oriented whereas our present one is all about food as a
        motivator

    3. Yes you are right. I’ve read about this and even though all of our dogs have loved food there were differences. Our Leonberger loved food and he stole food but he was nothing compared to our food crazy labrador. Our German Shepherd was not as food crazy and our Japanese Chin was not as bad either. Our pug was in the middle but our mini-Australian Shepherd is pretty food crazy too. There are differences between the breeds.
