Landseer

Landseer Many kennel clubs consider the Landseer to be simply a black-and-white variant of the Newfoundland, but the Fédération Cynologique Internationale recognizes it as a separate breed.The breed was named after the British painter Sir Edwin Henry Landseer, because in 1838 he created the painting The Distinguished Member of the Humane Society, which shows a dog of this breed. Temperament of The Landseer Newfoundland is a sweet-disposition dog that acts neither dull nor ill tempered, he is known for his genuine gentleness, and serenity. He is a devoted companion. He is noble, calm, gentle, loyal and trustworthy with a sweet temperament. Dignified and peaceable. Very devoted. Good and brave. Intelligent enough to act on his own when needed. He is gentle but his size and strength combined may be over powering when obedience is a lacking factor! Older dogs can be taught new tricks, but old habits are very difficult to break, so start early! A well mannered dog is always a pleasure! Very sociable. Enjoys the outdoors, but also requires companionship. The Landseer drinks a lot of water and may be messy about it, as he loves to get wet. They love to swim! They tend to drool, though not as much as some other giant breeds.
