He kurī nui whakamīharo me te ahua o te raiona. Engari he kuri whanau tonu ia. Na te mea he ahua hoa a Leonberger, he marino me te ngawari. He pono tonu ia ki tona rangatira, he tino pai tana noho hei mema o te whanau. Kei te pirangi koe ki te mohio pai atu ki te hoa rangatira wha-waewae?
#1 Ka rite ki te ingoa o te hoa wha-waewae kua kiia ake nei, no te taone o Leonberg te takenga mai.
I roto i tenei, ko te raiona te tohu o te taone me te tohu i te koti o te ringa. Na reira, ko te kaikaunihera o te taone nui a Heinrich Essig i whiti i tetahi uwha Newfoundland me tetahi tane St. Bernard i te rau tau 19. He kurī maunga Pyrenean anō i whiti. Ko te whainga ko te whakatipu kurī rite te raiona. Na i te tau 1846, ka kite te Leonberger tuatahi i te marama o te ra. I muri tata mai, ka whakahihiko nga ihu huruhuru i nga tangata puta noa i te ao. Hei tauira, e kiia ana he Leonberger a Empress Sissi.
#2 I te timatanga, he tino rongonui te momo kuri, ina koa he kuri kaitiaki. Na te mea he tino pai te tinana kaha me te kaha o te pakiri.
I tenei ra, ko te Leonberger te tino hiahia mo te whanau me te kuri hoa, no te mea he pai te noho tahi me nga tamariki.
#3 He pakari, he uaua, he roroa, he huatau – koinei te ahuatanga o te Leonberger.
Na tona ahua kaha, rite ki te raiona, ka whakahihiko ia i te tini o te hunga aroha kuri.
