Fall Mist Ranch takes great
pride in offering the rare and wonderful
Leonberger,
originating in Germany, the
Newfoundland from the Isle Of
Newfoundland, the Bernese
Mountain Dog
from Switzerland and the
English Mastiff.
If you are not familiar with these absolutely incredible breeds of dogs, you
simply don't know what you are missing. As dog breeds go, the Leonberger
(or "lean-on-bergers" as we call them) are excellent house pets and love
children. These gentle giants are most content when they are with their
human companion. With over 30 years raising various dog breeds, we have
never encountered a breed as loving, kind, gentle and intelligent as the
Leonberger. For more information about this magnificent rare breed,
just click on the picture to the left.
We
are blessed to live on 165 acres. Our dogs have lots of room to roam, run and
just be dogs. When we found our Newfoundlands we were pleased that
that their personalities and characteristics are very similar to the
Leonberger. History shows us that Newfoundlands were one of the breeds used to create the
Leonberger. The Newfoundland's love of water, along with their mellow
personalities, fits right into our life in the Ozark mountains.
We have
always loved the beautiful markings of the Bernese Mountain Dog. It's three
distinctive colors, soft eyes and sweet personality will win your heart.
When we had the opportunity to acquire our Bernese Mountain dogs, we jumped at
the offer. This breed, like the Leonbergers, Newfoundlands and English
Mastiffs love to work with us on our ranch
.
We just recently got into the English Mastiff, another breed instrumental in the development of the Leonberger. Theses gentle giants are about as mellow as they come. They are another perfect fit to our lifestyle, here on the Ranch.
We are truly blessed to have the privilege of owning each of these "Gentle Giants", and are looking forward to passing on to you, our customer (and hopefully friends), the same opportunity.
