The camera must be taking a hellishly long time to charge...

lol at the bear comments. It's not far from the truth, they are ridiculously huge!

I've never owned one, but one of my friends did. I'd also echo the comments about drool. I've never seen so much of the stuff! Worst is when they have a shake and it all flies up the wall. Grim.

Ha, would love one of these! Used to have a Neopolitan Mastiff, so I'm used to the big dogs with huge amounts of slobber

Be prepared for high food costs!

My mum has a Leonberger in SA (where decent meat is cheaper thankfully) and feeds him a BARF diet, commercial dog food would be too expensive.

Just out of interest how much would it cost to feed a large dog like this ?

No idea, never owned a dog in this country, though given they aren't obligate carnivores and can process some veg and grains, it's cheaper than if you had a similarly sized tiger or something.

I love big dogs, especially newfoundlands! Bernese Mountain dog will probably be my next addition to the family one day when funds, space and time allow!
