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 Tibetan Mastiff
Ancient Himalayan guardian breed, large and powerful yet agile, with a thick weather‑proof coat and lion‑like mane. Calm indoors but strongly territorial and vocal when guarding. Deeply loyal, independent, aloof with strangers, and best suited to experienced owners.
