0:03

0:04
ownership specifically why you might
0:07
want to think twice before bringing a
0:08
leyon burger into your home now I know
0:11
what you're thinking but they're so cute
0:14
sure they look like a fluffy lion that
0:16
just strolled off a Disney set but let's
0:19
break down the reality of owning one of
0:21
these gentle Giants here are 12 reasons
0:23
why you should never own a leon burger
0:26
one size Matters first off let's talk
0:29
about size these dogs can weigh anywhere
0:31
from 90 to 170 lb that's not a dog
0:36
that's a small bear if you live in a
0:38
cozy apartment congratulations you've
0:40
just signed up for a game of Tetris
0:42
every time you try to get through the
0:43
door with your new furry friend two
0:46
shedding season next up shedding Leon
0:49
Burgers have long coarse coats that seem
0:52
to shed like it's their job you'll find
0:54
hair in places you didn't even know
0:56
existed on your clothes in your food and
1:00
probably in your dreams you might as
1:02
well invest in a good vacuum cleaner
1:04
because you'll need it three grooming
1:07
Galore and speaking of coats grooming is
1:09
no walk in the park either you'll need
1:12
brushes that could double as Weapons
1:14
regular grooming is essential to keep
1:16
their fur from turning into a matted
1:18
mess if you thought brushing your hair
1:20
was tedious wait until you tackle a leon
1:23
burger four short lifespan let's not
1:27
forget about the lifespan Leon burgers
1:29
typically live only 8 to 9 years that's
1:33
like having a roommate who eats all your
1:35
food and then leaves after just one
1:37
semester you'll bond with this giant
1:39
fluff ball only to have your heartbroken
1:41
way too soon five health issues now
1:45
let's get serious for a moment health
1:47
problems abound in this breed from bloat
1:50
to bone cancer owning a leon burger
1:52
means you're signing up for frequent vet
1:54
visits and Hefty bills it's like
1:56
adopting a money pit with fur six space
2:00
requirements these dogs need space lots
2:03
of it if you live in an urban area with
2:05
limited outdoor access good luck letting
2:08
your leon burger stretch its legs
2:10
without causing chaos or knocking over
2:12
your neighbor's garden gnome seven
2:15
energy levels Leon burgers are energetic
2:18
creatures that require daily exercise
2:20
and mental stimulation if you're the
2:22
type who enjoys binge watching shows on
2:24
the couch think again you'll be dragged
2:27
out for walks like it's an Olympic event
2:30
eight training challenges training oh
2:33
boy while they are intelligent their
2:35
size can make training feel more like
2:37
wrestling than teaching you'll need
2:39
patience and perhaps some professional
2:41
help because trying to train a stubborn
2:43
lionized dog is no small feet nine drool
2:47
Factory let's talk about drool yes drool
2:51
these dogs can produce enough slobber to
2:53
fill a kitty pool if you're not prepared
2:55
for wet kisses that leave behind puddles
2:57
then maybe reconsider take 10
3:00
socialization needs Leon Burgers require
3:03
early socialization to ensure they don't
3:05
turn into overly protective Giants who
3:08
think they're lap dogs if you don't have
3:10
the time or energy to socialize them
3:13
properly you might end up with an overly
3:15
cautious canine that thinks every
3:17
visitor is an intruder 11 food costs
3:21
feeding a leon burger is another
3:23
Financial consideration they eat like
3:25
they're training for the K9 Olympics
3:28
expect to spend quite a bit on high
3:30
quality dog food unless you want your
3:32
dog looking like a malnourished lion
3:34
instead of the majestic beast it should
3:36
be 12 emotional commitment finally
3:40
owning any dog requires emotional
3:42
investment but with a leon burger it
3:45
feels like adopting another family
3:47
member one that could easily take over
3:49
the couch and demand attention at all
3:51
hours of the night in conclusion while
3:54
Leon Burgers may seem like the perfect
3:57
addition to your home with their
3:58
affectionate nature and Majestic
4:00
appearance the reality is far more
4:02
complicated than their fluffy exteriors
4:05
suggest so unless you're ready for a
4:07
life filled with hair balls drool
4:09
puddles and constant exercise demands
4:11
maybe stick to goldfish or cats at least
4:14
they don't require walks or groomy thank
