This blog feature amusing and heartwarming stories about our late Leonberger dog Bronco, as well as other Leonbergers. It also has a lot of information about the Leonberger breed, the history, care, training, Leonberger organizations, etc. I also wrote a Leonberger book, which I am featuring in the sidebar.
100000
At about 8:00AM Central Standard Time my Leonberger blog surpassed 100,000 views. At the moment of this writing, I have 55,000+ visitors, 10,600+ comments, 16,800+ likes, and 326 posts. I am very grateful for all of your visits, likes and comments. Thank you so much!
I started this blog to promote my Leonberger book “The Life and Times of Le Bronco von der Löwenhöhle, Stories and Tips from Thirteen Years with a Leonberger” (see picture below). That was a bit more than three years ago. I can add that the three-year anniversary of the release of my book is coming up in July. Click here to read more about my book.
Since the launch of my blog, my blogging has evolved and in addition to Leonbergers my blog has become a personal blog featuring book reviews, travel stories, and other topics. In other words, I am using my blog for my personal entertainment, in addition to on occasion promoting my Leonberger book.

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.

Congrats, Thomas! What a beautiful way of honoring your precious Bronco! This milestone feels like a subtle snuging from beyond the rainbow bridge. So nice! Thanks for sharing! Light and blessings to you and to Bronco wherever he is 🙏✨🌈
A great milestone, Thomas. Part of the reason I know you have so many visitors is you are a very active and supportive blogger. If people want to grow their audience, they should follow your model.
Congratulations, Thomas. Your blog surpasses for the first reason of why you started it. Cheers! To more posts, views, likes, and comments. We’ll keep going.
Congrats on hitting 100,000 views—what an amazing milestone! Your blog sounds like such a fun mix of topics, and those Leonberger photos are adorable. I just started checking out your book while waiting for my furniture cleaners to wrap up—definitely making this wait a lot more enjoyable! Keep up the awesome work!
Congratulations on your viewing milestone! I also started my blog to promote my book and have enjoyed the transformation to using it for my own personal entertainment with occasional venting and soapboxing. Now, it’s hard to imagine my life/routine without my blog.
Hearty congrats for well-deserved success.
