Do Leonbergers make good family dogs ?
Leos are very devoted to their families and are especially fond of children and well able to tolerate other household animals, provided they have been socialized to them at an early age. They remain stable and calm amid noise and chaos and are happiest when participating in family ventures. Because this breeds attachment to its family is very strong and it has a sensitive personality, it does not do well if left isolated for long hours each day or left alone outside. This can be considered a temperament defect by those who prefer a dog who is less dependent upon human company.
