They are not as tall as a great dane, but they are much heavier. Great danes average about 30-34" for dogs and leonbergers average about 29-32", but can weigh up to 200lbs in some of the bigger dogs.
Actually , not many people would have heard of them due to their rarity. After World War I, only five Leonbergers remained. When the World Wars ended, the eight surviving dogs were bred with one another, resulting in 22 puppies. It took 25 years for the Leo to recover. In 1971 the first Leonberger was brought to the United States. And they are still very scarce and it will usually take you 2-3 years on a waiting list to get one.

They are beautiful, well tempered dogs. We have a few of them around here and they are wonderful.
I understand your want for a "dog" vehicle as we have 2...lol. Our "little" 95 lb pup gets free reign in all of our rides including the F...though she spends much more time in the SUV's
Two of my business partners have Escalades and they have both been reliable and are super comfy/luxurious. They're an excellent choice for what you are looking for.
I could talk about dogs just as much as I love to talk about cars so have fun with your new pups.

Awesome SUV...the dogs will love it.
P.S. What do the pups think of the F???
Mine hates it, as when I go WOT she gets scared...I think she thinks there's an even bigger dog growling at her when the exhaust opens up...lol.
