Landseer Information
The Landseer originated in Germany in the 1800's. In the early 1800's, Newfoundland's varied a great deal in appearance. Gradually, two types evolved in mainland Europe. The traditional form is larger, with a short muzzle and a predominantly black coat. The taller Landseer is lighter, has a longer head and a distinctive slightly curly coat.
This dog closely resembles the Newfoundland but differs most notably in its coloration. Black areas should be prominent on the back and rump, as well as the head, where only a small white blaze is present. In some countries, including Great Britain and the USA, the Landseer is registered only as a color form of the Newfoundland.
The Landseer should be 26-28 inches tall and weigh between 110-150 pounds.
