Jake and Layla


This is Jake (about 5 yrs old) and Layla (6 mos old). Either one of them is a crowd, but two of them....well.... Jake is a rescue. When my daughter went to an animal shelter to pick out a tiny pooch, Jake wrapped his paws around her wrists (she was sitting down on the floor playing with a small dog) and looked up into her face. Smart dog, Jake. For Christmas they deliberately bought Layla as a small puppy.

The breed is Leonberger. This breed was established in 1846 in Leonberg, Germany in the region of Wurttemberg by the German breeder Heinrich Essing from a crossing of the Newfoundland, St. Bernard, and the Great Pyrenees...all small dogs as you can see. ☺☺☺
If you want to learn more about Leonberger’s, go to this website: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/leonberger.htm. You can also Google ‘Leonberger’. There are loads of websites.
