Rovne Stardogs

The origin of this dog breed goes deep into the past, to the island of Newfoundland. It was probably created by crossing the dogs of the original inhabitants of the island and the dogs of the first European fishermen - the Portuguese, the Spanish and the British. The dogs were massive, with black, reddish-brown, or white-black fur.

They were popular water dogs, used for work in English ports, but also as social dogs of the nobility and the upper middle class.

They got their name from the English painter Edwin Henry Landseer, who often painted them.
