The most terrifying thing about this gentle giant is that he's still got another 15 months of growing! That's a puppy!
@padai Not mastiffs. They only reach full maturity and size at around 3 years, if I'm not wrong.
Leos get to their approximate adult size at around 6 months mark, after that it is usually some features that change, aka, they gain muscle and weight. These smaller changes can take up to a year or two.
I have a leo.
@@bobromorca7198 I've always wanted one! They are my fav breed and I think they'd make a great service dog for my needs...but, their upkeep seems out of my league as a disabled person 😞
@@Tirryna Leo's are extremely gentle and loving kind of breed (and lazy), though looking after coats can be a workout, yes... personally, I never felt the need to take mine to a groomer, but it is very important to sit down and at the very least brush their coats every few days, even outside shedding seasons. And during a shedding season it is very important to do that every day + have a good vacuum inside the house.
@@bobromorca7198 Brushing could be therapeutic, I'd guess :) . It'd be a nice, gentle exercise and bonding time 😊
For those of you who don't realize, at 15 months, a dog that size still isn't done growing... He still has MONTHS to go yet!!!
The time he stops growing he'll be almost dead....7-10 years isn't a long life span at all.
@Failed Society Or he could die at 6, it's an estimate/average. Large dogs don't live as long. And if they make it to 9-10 their body starts falling apart, mainly legs and have a hard time getting up/moving around. I had a 90lb husky and had to put him to sleep at 11 because his legs were too bad and he was in constant pain..
😵😵😵
@@mikeblaz with good care dogs tend to hit the higher side of their age range more often than the low side.... Also it's more depressing to think pessimistically about it.
@@samfish2550 Genetics is 90% of the outcome which the owner has no control. This dog could be dead next year w/bad genetics and there isn't a thing the owner/vet can do about it...
"...after 20 years Maximus was finally dry." That caught me off guard. 🤣
I know, right!!😂😂😂
Look at the title.
😂😂😂😂😂
@@Getting.Better oh wow! Yeah, thanks. 😒🙃
yeah, especially cause they only live for about 11 years!!!😮
Maximus's panting sounds just like an idling tractor. Love big dogs.
Like a train lolol
Or a helicopter.
like a steam train haha
I think he sounds more like a steam locomotive cruising.
My thought was that he sounded like a locomotive coming into the station.
I originally subscribed to this channel for the dogs and cats. Glad to see you branching out to small bears!
I’m waiting for foxes. One will come along eventually.
Waiting for birds
😄😁
@@dwight5153 we got a duck!
She already groomed a duck and a pig. If she starts on badgers, I'd be very impressed.
15 months old, that means he hasn't stopped growing yet. He's going to get even BIGGER! 😁😍
Those Paws give it away. I am glad I am not feeding him.
The next time Maximus comes back, Vanessa will need about 10 copies of herself.
@@chilibreath she'll have to clear her day and book him in at 5 AM, then have a fat nap until the next day xD
If I can afford it, I'd love to own a giant breed 😁makes my pride swell 🤣😂
@@Apollyon67 or picking up his 💩💩💩💩
I lived in Leonberg, Germany as an exchange student in high school ('86 -'87)! They would bring them out for any town function, parade, etc. They are really wonderful dogs.
.
Years ago I knew someone who had two of them. One died at 11 years old and his brother was sooo heartbroken, he stopped eating. Only after getting him an other companion did he start eating again. It was quite a long road for the owner. At 13 years old, the owner wanted to breed him with his new female companion. And they hat 11 puppies at once! They where soooo cute but gigantic. Bevor this dogs I was kind of afraid of dogs. But not since. They are really loveable. He was still alive after I moved out. He was 15 by then.
For a dog who could have climbed a mountain carrying you on his back, he was extremely tolerant and well behaved.
No fuss, no drama, no howling to the moon...
And handsome.
He had to be exhausted...hassling had for 4 hours...I know he slept well that night.
Leonbergers are kinda known for having meek personalities. They're so frigging awesome. I wish they were a more common breed, but these guys will drain your bank account..
Maximus sounds like an idling truck while you're doing his paws!
I was thinking of a steam engine.
I was thinking thee SAME EXACT thing.🥰
Or a helicopter
Omg same so cute
@Emily Turco
Should have just named him Mack...as in Mack truck..hahaaa.
I’m a barber, and some clients of mine always have two of these at home, they’ll sometimes bring them to visit. The huggiest bears I know
Hi there
How’s your day going?
My friend
@@schwozraymond7524 silence BOT
Mine does this insane nonstop neurotic air lick, I don't know if it's a thing or what but he can't stop trying to lick your face off. He is genuinely incapable of it. The only thing I've been able to do to stem the licking was just carry him around like a baby, he looks so confused that he forgets he wants to lick your face off.
I had landlords that had 2 of these enormous critters. They were very sweet once they got to know you but those first few visits to drop off the rent were a little nerve-wracking and I'm a dog person. These 2 pups were VERY protective of their family. Getting a sniff down by 2 of these guys is a unique experience to be sure. After they got used to me all I had to worry about was drowning in drool. Loved those dogs. 🙂🙂🙂
“After 20 years, Maximus was finally dry….” Well then, you’ve basically doubled his lifespan with your excellent grooming skills! 😉
Lol, then I heard it right 🤣🤣 I was not sure about it
Well, she certainly has a sense of humor..
@@edinagaspar722 LOL Same here🤣 I had to hear it again to make sure! Maximum is absolutely adorable💛🐶
HAHAHAHAH!!🤣😂😂😂
@@peterheerens3093 have you seen feedo's and lunatic's performance, as well as meatball? If not you need to.
I love how patient Maximus is throughout the whole thing. He's like, "Yeah, okay, do what you gotta do, human. I'm sure it's for a good reason."
hahaha yeah how cute
He even seems to like it...
I found this super impressive after hearing her say what it means for big dogs to be standing for so long, and them overheating from the blow dryer. Patient groomer and patient dog!
There is an unwritten rule that the larger a breed, the more calm they tend to be. And they don't get much bigger. (If you disagree, just think about your last encounter with an ankle-biter...)
@@Serene80 hence why they are called ankle bitters and bigger breeds tend to be wannbe lap dogs just looking for a cuddle and scritches.
I wasn't even aware over heating at the groomers was a thing!
Thank you for the awareness!
What a doll!! He is so adorable. The short lifespan of big dogs such as this always tugs at my heart.
I’m so glad to hear about how you make sure your big guys don’t overheat. My sister had a dog (RIP Bear) years ago, he was a big boy. Mixed breed but double coated. She took him to a new groomer when she moved, and this lady left our poor Bear in a drying cage for HOURS in the middle of summer. She said she forgot about him. When my sister came to pick him up the groomer was surprised and then panicked. She ran to the drying cage and Bear was almost to the point of unconsciousness. He was rushed to the vet with heat exhaustion and thankfully he recovered. The groomer did pay his vet bill and was very upset and remorseful but it really didn’t help the situation much. He lived many years after that but they never trusted another groomer and got the de shedding supplies and just did it themselves after that.
Sheesh what a terrible groomer
This is why I don't trust most groomers and even almost all vets. They care more for money than the actual animal they are supposed to be taking care of.
Do they have licenses? If so, they should take her license away.
@@jocelync.2034 I honestly have no idea. I do know the grooming shop is still open 😬
Oh hell no. If that had been one of my babies, I'd be in prison right now for killing a bitch...but for real I hope you at least took them to court. You should have shut that place down for good.
The more the gigantic, the more the gentle and cute.
Not always. You're familiar to the owcharka?
I suggest you look into Cane Corsos or Tibetan Mastiffs.
It goes the opposite way too. Proof - Chihuahuas.
Many giant breeds like great danes and mastiffs are meant for protection offensively. Dogs like the leo and great Pyrenees are lazier giant breeds for defensive protection. All wary of strangers unless properly socialized and desensitized. Often both work together to protect flocks of sheep (ie great Pyrenees with Anatolian shepherd dog)
@@MasterShoko chihuahuas: 50% hate, 50% shaking, 50% eyeball.
I salute you for considering your “client’s” needs as you work on them. It appears that this big baby was well treated from the beginning. My wife and I both enjoy watching your interactions with the dogs, and the play by play as you work.
He is so huge and yet still has a puppy face 😍
Little kids must LOVE him. He’s like something from a kid’s book.
He is
Pretty sure I saw him carrying Atreyu to fight The Nothing.
I would have been enamored

And, they ADORE KIDS!!!
He. Is. GORGEOUS! There's a husky somewhere going: "Why is he so quiet?" Lol great job!
I have fewer than 1 friend in the World. That's right. Everybody disses me for making bad videos. I think they are perfect though. Who is right? My dissers or me? Which side are you on, dear neno

@@kittygirl0872 it's a spamming asshat that makes bizarre childish dogshit
What he lacks in barks and howls he makes up in drools
When I was a child, my uncle had a Leonberger so large (or maybe I was just that small) that I could ride him like a tiny furry horse
Minor correction on the mix: it was not a Newfoundland Dog, but a Landseer, which also originates in Newfoundland, is slightly larger and white with large black spots. I owned a beautiful Leonberger male once and he only lived to be 7.5 years old. Died of bone cancer. His parents both exceeded the 10 year benchmark. Anyway, Leonbergers have the most pleasant disposition, are absolutely great with kids and other animals. They are too lazy to hunt, or even to fetch ;o) and they love to swim. I couldn't keep him out of the water, no matter what the temperatures. It could be 20 below freezing and he'd go for a swim, playing jingle bells with the icicles in his fur on the way home. In conclusion, I couldn't think of a more recommendable companion.
Landseers are also Newfies, just a less common color than all black. My sincere condolences for your Leo boy ❤
The week my mother died I saw a leonburger in a restaurant, sitting perfectly still with therapy dog vest on. His owner let me pet him and I wound up spending 10 minutes just hugging this fluffy gentleman. It was exactly what I needed. I've loved this breed ever since.
My condolences. I wish you strength and patience in this difficult time. After a while it will get better and you will remember the happy moments with her. You will find gratitude to had these moments with her and that's how she will stay alive in your heart 😊💐
My condolences, stay strong for her.
I’m so so sorry I’m sure she’s looking up from heaven and Is very proud of you.Stay Strong.
Sorry for your loss
im sorry for your loss i hope with time you find comfort that she is always above you watching with blessings. Stay strong
As a vet tech, Leonbergers are my FAVORITE breed. So large but also THE most well behaved breed ever.
We had one growing up named max!
I’m not sure about sharing this, but what the heck: it’s RUclips, y’know! As a vet tech you’ve probably experienced many different breeds and mixes, so do you agree with me that larger breeds (Great Danes, Bernese Mtn. Dogs, etc.) are generally just better behaved than the small/toy/pocket ones? I’ve got a theory about this: so much of dog aggression/misbehavior is fear-driven, and the big breeds don’t see a need to assert their alpha status nor be afraid that others will attack them. The little ones: coke-addled, yapping nut jobs!
@@DeeEllEff YES. All of this. Little dogs are THE WORST. Yippy and scared all the time, anxious...no thanks.
@@missm108 I used to work with one named Max!
@@DeeEllEff Please don't badmouth small dogs, it just makes it okay for people to devalue their lives and abuse them. People don't like it when pitties and rotties are generalized, please don't make it sound like small dogs are always bad. They are not all the same, any more than any other group of dogs. Those of us who have small dogs love them just as much as you guys love the big dogs. Personally, it love all dogs but it breaks my heart when people talk about little dogs like they're worthless little demons and that's not true. Yes, they bark but so do big dogs. Yes they bite if you assume it's okay to just reach over and pet them, so do big dogs and they can reach your face, I have the scars to prove it but it was my fault, not the dog's and for the record, it was a husky and I misread her body language. Also not the point. It's true, little dogs probably get away with more, oh who am I kidding, my dogs are spoiled but that doesn't mean they're allowed to run around terrorizing the neighborhood. (one weighs six pounds and has one tooth so you can visualize how scary that would be). I understand people don't have to like them but please don't label them like that, they are still dogs and they are loved and our hearts still shatter when they pass away. I mean no offense, it just really upsets me, the same way it does for people who own any breed that is stereotyped.
Knowing the Leonberger has Saint in them it's not surprising they're good with people and especially kids.
I greatly appreciate how much you put the animal's welfare in mind. I'm sure Maxie appreciated it as well ❤
It's really the Newfoundland that gives them their loving character, though they don't have the same lifesaving instinct. But such good, sweet dogs!
Or the St Bernard or the great pyrenees
what a well behaved baby! clearly he's getting the support and structure he needs at home. love to see responsibly raised big boys 🥰
Maximus looks like a very sweet dog. He seemed like he was very patient for such a long grooming. Leonbergers are such beautiful dogs. It's sad they had such a short lifespan.
Modern advancements in food and vet care are helping dogs and cats live longer. Still not enough for all of us that have had to say goodbye. Maybe in the future we can see dogs with 20+ year lifespans.
@@DragynryderMW It's how they breed them. Inbreeding and line breeding have shortened the lifespans of many breeds.
An increase in the prevalence of inherited disorders
A decrease in viability/ longevity
A decrease in reproductive ability (reduced fecundity, decreased litter sizes, etc.)
The loss of genetic diversity (i.e. decrease in genetic variation)
Studies in various species have shown that inbreeding can also result in:
developmental disruption, higher infant mortality
a shorter life span and reduction of immune system function. And it is known that impaired immune function can lead to higher rates of cancer, and a myriad of other issues for skin, digestive, and other systems as well as resistance to infectious agents.
@@janesawyer3495 sounds like terrible breeders
They are usually within one or two places in AKC popularity ranking of the Norwegian Elkhound.
Yeah. Even if the grooming took 4 hours, it helped a lot that Maximus was totally cool with it. It’d be a _lot worse_ if he was resisting tooth and nail every step of the way
Looks like he was enjoying himself! He's the first one of that breed I've ever seen
Thought the same thing about him enjoying himself.
I've seen a female that had clipped hair that was working as a service animal for a wheelchair-bound person. Excellent temperament and stayed focused and calm even when surrounded by mobbing children. She was also able to just pull her person when the chair got stuck on something. Good job Annie, I'm glad I had a chance to meet you.
Bro this is the first time I've heard of this breed even existing lol
I have met a few, three or four, in the Atlanta area, and have found them to be quite lovable. I just don't have the space for an active giant-breed dog. Instead, i have a medium-size dog, the breed used to hunt moose and herd reindeer.
@@puidwen A lot of dogs love to be groomed. I had a shepherd mix who loved to be vacuumed. My old girl Aani, a retired show champion Norwegian Elkhound, grinned blissfully while getting her coat blown out.
I just want to hug him and squeeze him and just use him as a pillow he is too adorable!
Maximus clearly enjoyed his day at the spa! He is glorious! ♥️
Was just thinking the same thing. He seems pretty content with the whole process.
@@malcolmtudor8039 Do you think hes breathing so heavy and fast because he enjoy it ? Hes stressed out AF
@@ringlefinch5723 He doesn't seem overly bothered. Might be a little stressful for him. He's a big boy. He'll be fine.
“After twenty years, he was finally dry” sent me 😂😂 your dry delivery of such comedy is my favorite.

Sent you where?
You really have to listen to what she says to hear the jokes, there's no intonation to tell you ther was something funny :D
Mines too! 🤣🤣🤣
Damn, he's practically a puppy but weighs more than many human adults 😁
for a Leo he still is will be full grown around 3 Yr old. Would be interesting if does again how much bigger he'll be he's currently same as my 15 month old
Not human adults in the US.
@@megaruhe6296 you're projecting, tubbo.
She said the dogs weights 130 pounds (or in non retards weight 60 kg). Thats not an average human bodyweight. 165 pounds (or in non retards weight 75 kg) is regular.
He's 130 LB, American adults are way heavier than that, lol.
Maximus was so well behaved here. Definitely deserved a few treats for being good.
His breath is like a heavy Train... Very nice dog and very calm..... And you have done a great job!
My friend has a 7 year old Leonberger, his name is Otto, he's super dumb but extra lovable. 🐻
“He is super dumb “ 😂😂🥰😍🥰
When they’re that cute and big , they don’t need to be smart.
LOL 🤩
That's the perfect big dog.
My dog is dumb too ! He barks at plants
Firstly, I thought that was a little rude, but then I started giggling to myself, actually it`s the perfect doggo.
I love the part when you're shaving his paws, his paws are larger than your hands! I've met a couple leonberger dogs who are local to my area, and they are huge marshmallows. Very sweet, very laidback, and very VERY fluffy. Gorgeous, enormous dogs.
I heard of them. Never met one but they are apparently among the sweetest dogs in the world. It’s nice to know what I heard is true.
Kinda like Bernese Mountain Dogs, in my experience, only even more HUGE!
My favorite part is when groomers shave out paw pads! I wish the clip was longer. I don’t know why it’s so satisfying 😂
Only the sweet would get to breed in developing a dog that big
Maximus is such a lovely puppy 😁
A travel roommate had one! Loved her so much, sweetest, hugest floof EVER! Was shocked to learn she was 3 breeds combined! She had all the desired markings, fantastic breed, minimal drooling, my Newfie always had a drool rag nearby.
"When I designed my shop, everything was done with the animals well being in mind." You can really tell thats true. I absolutely love how much you love the animals you work on. Even the ones with murder mittens. So much respect for what you do.
The Huskies would disagree.
The girl with dogs should be the standard for ALL groomers! Anything less should not be allowed!
It is a labor of love for her.
My aunt had a Leonberger as a guard dog. He loved to cuddle and would press his gigantic body against yours while you were petting his incredible floof. After you were done, you had enough fur on your clothes to equip a mid-sized dog.
Try a Maremma. My wife crocheted a dog blanket from the bale of fluff off him.
Basically he needed to be run through the shearing shed with the sheep.
I'm a university student and had some therapy dogs visit our campus, one of them being a Leon burger, and of course he'd lean on whoevers petting him. His owner said she calls him a leaning-burger because he always does it,,, so yea they're great for emotional support 🥹❤️
My dad told me stories of his family friends Leonburger (or similar sized breed) who was raised on cuddling in someone's lap as a tiny pup and never outgrew it even as a 100+ kilogram Bear.
There was a story of the springs in the dad's seat wearing out due to being crushed by a giant floofball on a daily basis
@@higoodbye7545 I went to Crufts when the Leonbergers were there and the breeders told me they call them the Lean-on-bergers; it seems to be a breed trait!
He's beautiful ❤️... What a sweet guy.
I love that you truly care and take the time to know what is needed for each animal. Thank -You.
Now that's a good boy if ever there was one. Look at him all calm, just panting away. I guess I appreciate that more since my dog abhors sitting still.
Jack Russell? LOL
Yeah never knew of this breed but it sounds quite nice from her description. Aside from that groomers bill! And I guess the food bill... and medicine, ah well, you know the way it goes with big dogs, everything costs more. But you get more dog!

@@kenyonbissett3512 Only ever had shorthair English mastiffs before. Big dogs but relatively easy to clean and handle. They like leaning on people and being near the people and are so top heavy they aint really even big runners.
Good big dog for lazyish people. But they can have a protective instinct that requires good training to be sure they are friendly around others.
@@kenyonbissett3512 Breed Unknown. But what she is, if I'm in the vicinity, she will be engaging with me. Then briefly something else, then back to me. It takes a considerable amount of effort to make her sit still outside of eating. But I love her all the same.
I met a Leonburger once! the owners let me pet her, but she liked me so much she stretched the entire length of my arm and plopped her head on top of mine! they're so cuuuuute!
That's so freaken adorable 😭😭😭
What a beautiful, laid back dog. You did an excellent job grooming him!
What a beautiful and well behaved doggie. ❤
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
The more I watch Girl With The Dogs, the more respect I have for her. Everything is geared towards the animals' comfort. I love her humor, too!
The big boys always seem just so happy to be there
I like him! He seems very friendly! It's a job to give him a bath! Glad I got to see him! He is definitely an eye full!
He was such a good boy, so laid back. He looks amazing.💕🐾💕
Our first family dog was a Leonberger, and we grew up together. She was way smaller than her siblings but she was still always bigger than me. She had passed away at age 11 about 6 years ago but I still choked up when you mentioned how sweet and loving this breed is. She was the sweetest girl, wouldn't hurt a fly, and I remember spending many new year's eve celebrations by her side as she was shaking in fear because of fireworks. Rest in peace Biscuit, i learned so much from you and you will always have a special place in my heart❤
Yes yes yes!!!!!!!! We are currently loving our 3rd. Wonderful animals!!!!!!

You’ve reached a level of fame where everyone wants you to groom their not-so-common breeds just to watch you do your thing:) Maximus is aptly named❤️
My favorite video of hers so far has been the pig one lol
ARE YOU ENTERTAINED!!!... Sorry had to make the Gladiator reference, LoL 🤣
My leonberger was named cleo....cleo the leo XD i just couldnt help myself
Yeah, he is!
I loved hearing about the care you took when designing your shop for the safety & comfort of your canine clients. ❤
My neighbours growing up had a Leonberger called Felia. She had this deep, threatening bark that would scare anyone away but was the sweetest cuddle-bear once you were actually in her territory (and she knew you). One time she somehow escaped my neighbours' yard and I encountered her on my way home from school. I just called her name, she came to me and I walked her home. Such a sweetie. Our male golden retriever was also in love with her. We always knew where to find him if he ever got out of the yard...
I love how Maximus was just chilling the whole time like "oh you're doing that now? Okey dokey then madam"
"Grooming this breed of dog is a task and a half" - that must the understatement of the year 🐶
yeah it's more like 2 tasks and a half 😂
What an excellent job of caring! You truly rock!
Maximus is gorgeous , and so patient .thanks for sharing
What a giant good boy. I never heard of this breed before, but my brain instantly went: _Must hug the giant teddy dog!_
he looks so ready for a hug !
Big fluffy dogs are the best huggers
Most leos are of the kind that they would be in heaven if someone would give them free hugs. I know cause one is currently occupying my entire bed, staring at me, longing for some. The one I had before (Rip Arthur) was the same.
I did one of these breeds myself. He was 145 pounds and he got me covered head to toe in fur but I loved every minute with him. He was incredibly sweet and gentle and loving, I have pictures of him leaning against my legs and me hugging him. Such gentle giants ❤️❤️
He is MAGNIFICENT! I would still be hugging him today. Excellent groom! 😁
I just want to hug him so bad! You did a phenomenal job as always. Such a big boy🤍
My Leonberger passed away in January, he got to the astonishing age of 11,5 years. Those dogs are amazing and they are super kind, but the definitely prefer the cold. So you did this guy a real favor with the ac^^ Greetings from Germany :)
Sorry for your loss. It never gets easy. We lost our girl 15 months ago. It was sudden, stomach cancer. We got another girl, different breeder. She's different yet still gentle and loyal. Leonbergers are magnificent.

A huskie would have been singing for 3 3/4 of those hours, no?
So glad Maximus was so cooperative. ❤
I wish every groomer had the love for animals that you do. You have such grace with all of them. They are lucky to have someone like you to make them shine. Thank you
I had never even thought of a dog overheating at the groomer… though I can definitely see how it could happen. Thank you for always educating about and for the dogs!!❤️
The breeder put my Norwegian Elkhound, a retired show champion, on a grooming table to blow her coat out with a master blaster. There was a blizzard of undercoat so thick you couldn't see from the barn to the house.
I’m still in shock over how much fur came out just from Maximus’s blow drying! Good thing she had the mosquito netting hat.
Max's mouth needed netting, too.
I'd highly suggest she get a netted cap like those used for ladies to keep their short hair styles in place at bed. For a dog of this huge size, it would lightly be placed on his muzzle to stop all that flying fuzz from going in the mouth.
Beauty Hair Supply stores and well-stocked drug stores, even Walmart, sell loose, netted hair caps.
omg! I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. Uncomfortable for the dog to breathe in and have in his mouth and unsafe.
I hope he was given water & rest throughout those 4 hours.

What a beautiful boy! I’ve met 3 Leonbergers in my life, and all 3 were wonderful dogs.
You take such good care of these guys. Even with a cold room, water, and breaks, Maximus was chuffing like a steam engine. I hate to think what he’s have gone through at the hands of anyone who was less concerned about his comfort and safety. So glad his owners found you.
The first Leonberger I saw was standing right besides an Alpacca. They make Alpaccas seem a lot smaller than they actually are.
Anyone care to join me in a round of applause for the outstanding effort displayed with this grooming?!?
Someone certainly earned their wage this day.
Oh and, GJ Max, quite the patience and endurance.
I just had a thought: THIS kind of channel is really what the Internet should be about. I get to learn at least an intro to breeds I've never known about, as well as what it takes to groom and care for them. In a quality format, personable commentary, good videography.
Not trying to throw out empty flattery. With all the unmitigated CRAP sloshing around in the "sewer" of the Internet, I've come to appreciate your videos.

@@MrLoverman7134 I love dog videos. I've had dogs for decades. Dogs are wonderful.
Hearing about their life longevity makes me cry ((( he's so wonderful
well... the bigger the dog, the lower their life expectancy - Bernese Mountain dogs live for around 8 years wile Chihuahuas can live up to 20

Exactly our Chihuahua Prince Walter lasted 18 years, he passed 8/2020
We miss him dearly he was a small bully but we cared for him till his breath😥🐶😏
@@airbus_a320neo That's true, but It's also about diet and breeding. People often overfeed their giant dogs and does not understand how important is getting them enough exercise.
I have very well bred Newfoundland dog. Shes already a senior for a breed, almost 9 years old, and she's in very well shape. She acts and moves like a puppy.
But she was always well fed, never overfeed and being pretty "slim" for the breed always had a lot of exercise. She have no problem with joints or heart, also because of responsible breeding, where we are sure, that not only her parents, but also grandparents, great grandparents and 2x great grandparents were healthy and well breed.
You are ABSOLUTELY one special, dedicated, caring & loving women! St Francis is smiling and is sitting on your shoulder!
Many years ago during a summer holiday in France, I befriended some kids at the camping place who had a leonberger. This dog was the BIGGEST fan of all the cuddles he could get! He was so fluffy, soft and sweet. He would lean against you for hugs. One day the kids and their parents were going on a little trip where they couldn't bring the dog with them, so they asked us if we could watch over him. It was the best day ever. We would lay down in the shadow together, napping during the day. Whenever I see a leonberger, my heart skips a beat because they make me so happy. They're the best.
Thank you so much for bringing awareness to the inside temperature, breaks & drinking water, when it comes to grooming big dogs. Especially big dogs with thick fur or flat snouts. They do over heat quickly and I think not all dog groomers know to take the necessary precautions, such as you.
I met a lady who said her mastiff was at groomers for a few hours. She went to pick him up and when he got home he drank a ton of water. Within just an hour, her dog died of bloat.
😭
I would of killed that groomer for killing my dog.
damn, that was sad
I've owned cats most of my life. Never even occurred to me that getting "bloat" would kill a dog so quickly. How tragic for his owners to lose their baby that way!
Watching "Girl With Dogs" isn't just entertaining -- she's giving us information that can save a pet's life! Can't get any better than that.
That's absolutely heartbreaking!🥺
This groomer is so good .. really enjoy watching her work on these beautiful dogs
Memories! During my childhood and adolescence (near Leonberg, Germany...) my parents had three Leonbergers. The first one's favorite place was the back seat of my grandpa's car. She LOVED riding in the car! All loved swimming. And rolling in the fresh manure the farmers had put on their meadows...
It's so cruel that giant breeds are so short lived. You'll never find gentler, more loving, docile, daft, beautiful, slobbery companions on earth! We've had several St. Bernards and a Newfoundland x St. Bernard (who was the size of a small bear!) and they've all been utterly wonderful dogs that I'd recommend to anyone. 👍🥰👍 I could never have a smaller breed now. There'd be nothing to hug!!
I had a Rottie who was large but the absolute biggest baby and lover of cats and kittens and kittens would play all over him like a cat tree it was amazing
My family always adopted big dogs here, we do have plenty of space in our home for them. We love rottweillers and the two of them that lived with us were the most gentle living beings I've ever met in my whole life; our old lady unfortunately passed away 5 months ago, she was really loving and I miss her everyday.
It is the same with humans. Smaller people live longer on average. That is one of the reasons women live longer.
When I was younger my uncle had an unusually large Boxer who was at the time the biggest, meanest looking dog I had ever seen.
He was also a total softie. He loved cuddles, and wanted to be involved in everything you were doing. If you were willing to spend 5 minutes petting him, you made a friend for life.
He would run under the table at dinner time, rest his head on your thigh, and sit there panting and drooling until it looked like you wet yourself. Even if you were having salad and didn't have scraps to give him, he just wanted to be part of the group activity.
I’ve got a friend with this kind of dog
The lad’s name is Edgar and the first time I met him he tried to knock everyone over before running off and having to be chased down 😂
He’s also been known to uproot small trees
They are the most chaotic bears :’)
I was lucky enough to know a pair of these gorgeous dogs in town. Gentle giants. You did an exceptional job on him.
I love watching these. Love the glam shot at the end and how happy they look that its over.
This dogs constant panting sounded like a train chugging along, he looks great 💞🐾🐕 nice job!👌👍
Which he's likely doing because he's nervous and hot. 🥵
They're always hot, he's not nervous, these big bois are very smart.
Considering the size getting that to run and jump at you would certainly give you the feeming a train is going to run over you
I can't unhear that hahahahahaha
Her cooling system isn't enough for this dog.
I feel that at this point she should seriously make a video playlist of the giant dogs she's groomed like the St Bernard/Newfie mix and others
The Leo is a Saint Bernard-Newfie-Pyrenees mix. That one is a beauty.
I just wanted to say that I love your channel. I learn so much with every video. Also, your dry, deadpan delivery style is very amusing. Keep up the stellar work! 🤩
😂😂😂😂😂”after 20 yrs Maximus was dry “😂😂😂😂😂
"Wow that full grown dog is huge, no wonder they- 15 MONTHS OLD!?"
Still room to grow :)
He is such a good boy! Stood perfectly calm through the entire groom. Love the majestic Maximus! 😘❤️
That is all Leos...You will never hear of a Leo attacking anyone...and if you do, it would probably be for a serious reason.
He’s gorgeous! You did such a great job.
This bear sized floomph is a collasal cutie! His adorable eyes at the end of the video mixed with his choochoo breathing getting bathed was an overload of adorableness!!! Hope to see him on another video. He deserves all the cookies and kisses on his noggin.
You’re such a great groomer. Most groomers lack the most important skill you have which is PATIENCE. Good job!
Good grief, he sounds like a steam engine puffing up a steep grade! 😃 What a huge, adorable boy. So well-behaved. Magnificent job!
I was thinking the same thing!
@@B_is_for_butter Yeah, you start expecting a whistle!
He's panting like that because he's so hot. So glad the groomer is aware of overheating and comfort/joint issues and has built safeguards into the process. Even with all the safety measures, the dog is still quite hot and needs careful monitoring, water, air conditioning, etc. after the owner picks him up.
We own English mastiffs, who are much larger (200 lbs and up) and are very heat sensitive due to their size and double coats. Brindle and dark colored giant breeds can overheat dangerously if they stay too long in the summer sun. Or if they are walked too far by clueless owners.
Thanks again for designing your shop with doggie health in mind. And for being so conscientious!
If he has a brother...he should be called Stirling. Like the steam engine.
@@anneeinhorn9227 Yeah, she's good. I don't have dogs, never taken my cats to groomers, but you can tell the skill. Horses, now, I do have at least some experience washing. Every kind of animal has different things to be careful of. With horses, light ones can get sunburn if you let them out in a field to dry, and can't afford a sheet to put on them!
He is such a sweetheart.😍
He’s a beauty! Thank you for sharing him with us
Maximus is STUNNING!! I hope he lives longer than the 7-10 years.
Hopefully, I have a dog that's only meant to live to 13~14 but she's 15 and still super healthy
I wish all groomers were as conscientious and caring as you are. I can’t get over how different this dog’s personality is from a husky’s! 🤣. He was so good, even after 4 hours!
You are so loving and professional, well done!
Omgosh he's so beautiful ❤️ I'm in love ;) I'm so happy you've designed your studio for the best way for these lovely friends!
