Summary
About Leonberger
Large, strongly built “gentle giant” with lion‑coloured, water‑resistant double coat and black mask. Typically calm, devoted, and very good with children and other pets when well socialised. Needs regular exercise, kind training, thorough grooming, and careful health management.
About Neapolitan Mastiff
Ancient Italian giant guardian with massive build and heavy wrinkles. Calm and affectionate with family, wary of strangers, and protective by nature. Needs early training, steady leadership, moderate daily walks, and careful skin and drool care due to size and loose folds.
