JRT owner (he is very small) and get a mix of comments:
Good
I get comments about how well behaved he is, how sprightly for his age, he's cute, lovely markings etc, how sweet it is that he loves me so much.
Bad
I also get 'I bet he's yappy' (he isn't), what a cute puppy (this always makes me laugh as he's 14), and from family and friends 'the way he follows you / depends on you is bad, you should train him out of it' - this annoys me - he's old, almost blind and losing his hearing, plus he spent his whole life with another dog who we lost 2 years (as he was losing his sight). Of course he follows me, me being around = it's safe to relax.
Years ago (when I was a teen) we had an English bull terrier as the family pet. There were lots of comments about my parents being irresponsible, he's dangerous, he looks 'menacing,' and 'I wouldn't trust him, I bet he's nasty' type comments.
That dog was literally the sweetest. He loved all people and would do anything for a belly rub. He also used to run away from next doors cat as he was scared of it 😂

Walking the leonbergers can be wearing at times. I generally get the same comments over and over, they generally stop traffic at least once a week! One of my boys has actually become a bit worried about why people are always staring at him 😄
Most of the time it’s:
Bet they cost a lot to feed.
You could put a saddle on that.
You must have a massive house.
Watch out (usually to a small dog) they will eat you.
Whos walking who.
There are also some nice comments from people interested in the breed which I’m happy to try and answer.
People avoid my GSD like the plague which makes walks more peaceful!
