    I'm wondering if anyone knows of any breeders selling Leonberger pups.I've been had my eye on getting one for a few years now but since my 18th is coming up soon I'll probably be able to convince my parents to let me get one

    any help is greatly appreciated!

    They are not a very common breed so there may be a waiting list. Have a look on the IKC website for the Club Secretary.

    The only problem is who will look after the dog if you decide to leave home as they are a very large breed and expensive to keep. Have you done much research?

    I have done quite a bit of research and I plan to go to college quite near me and I would take the dog with me if I moved out.I realise its a big dog but I have a reasonable back garden and I live next a very large park and theirs lots of forest walks near.If I did leave with out the dog My parents would look after it as we have quite good experience with dogs if I got this one it would be out 5th in 20 years

    They're still a pretty new breed, I think. The only guy I know that has one (actually, he has two) is in the UK, so it may be necessary to see about getting one from there.

    They look lovely, but are too big and hairy for my tastes.

    They're a bit hairy but I like my big dogs

    I would say this is a good place to start. Have always loved these dogs. Best of luck.

    I'll PM you the name of someone i know who is a breeder of Leonbergers.

    They are a very reputable breeder but be prepared to wait a long time for a pup and be asked lots of questions before they will even consider selling one to you.
