  • a dog breed "established in 1846 in Leonberg in the region of Wurttemberg by the German breeder Heinrich Essing, from a crossing of the Newfoundland, the St. Bernard, and the Great Pyrenees.

Not only does it have a waterproof coat, but nature has furnished it with webs between its toes which facilitate swimming." (Simon & Schuster's Guide to Dogs, 1980)
