A true Leo is a born leader, afraid of no one and always up for an exciting adventure. Not all dogs with the star sign Leo look as tough or dangerous, but they still stand out with their dominant, proud presence.

Now it sounds like a Leo can't be nice, but they are very sweet dogs who wouldn't hurt a fly. Leo's are quick to sense other dogs, they are curious, have a heart of gold and a good memory.

They are true children's friends, so they often show protective and watchful behaviour. These dogs do not like to be insulted and demand a lot of attention. If the dog does not get the desired attention, they may seek it in a less positive way.

It is a vain dog that likes to be groomed and loves an exciting walk. An owner with the zodiac sign Aries, Sagittarius, Gemini or Libra is a good match for a Leo.

The following gemstones fit well with the characteristics of a Leo: Rock crystal, Calcite, Citrine, Garnet, Pyrite, Tiger's eye.
