Landseer breed
The common path of the Newfoundland dog and the Landseer ended in 1960, when the FCI recognized the Landseer - continental-European type as a separate breed.
However, in the USA, Canada and England, Landseers are considered a color variant of the Newfoundland dog.
European Landseers are slightly different - in addition to coloring, they have higher legs, are lighter with a different shape of the head and nose.
In common with Newfoundland dogs, they have a high resistance to cold weather and a love of water. Even in winter, they like to bathe in the lake, sleep in the snow. Their fur with a thick undercoat provides perfect protection against the cold.

Nature
The Landseer is a calm and infinitely tolerant dog that is not stubborn and is easy to train.
He needs close contact with family members, to whom he is boundlessly devoted. The greatest punishment for Landseer is solitude.
He has infinite patience with children, a friend who does not spoil the fun. Sometimes he doesn't realize his size and knocks down his partner in the game. He is gentle and gentle with the little ones.
He is friendly, a great companion for other animals as well. Not with hedgehogs 🙂 When meeting other dogs, he is not aggressive, rather curious. But he can defend himself. Because of his non-conflicting nature, he is also liked by owners of other dog breeds of the same weight categories.
Although he looks impressive, he is not exactly a guard dog. He will let anyone who dares into the yard. Scratching behind the ears is the ticket.
Thanks to its mildness, it is also suitable for less experienced breeders.
Life with a Landseer
The Landseer is not really an active dog that runs 10 kilometers with its owner or runs alongside a bicycle. He will be more pleased with a quiet walk, where he can explore the surroundings, keeping an eye on the owner. He knows his options and will not run after forest animals. They will immediately use the lake or river for swimming. Its size and coloring will attract passers-by. He welcomes their attention with a wagging tail.
Although it is said that the Landseer does not bark, this is not entirely true. At night, he fulfills his guard duty and patiently reports the presence of foreign animals in the yard, even at the neighbors.
With the Landseer, a huge amount of fur comes into the household, which is soft and pleasant when it is on the dog. But less on clothes, hands, devices, in the car... everywhere. The coat requires regular combing of the undercoat, especially in summer. A hair dryer for dogs helps.
