A breed originating in Germany and Switzerland

The FCI standard gives Germany and Switzerland as its countries of origin and classifies the Landseer as a guard and companion dog.

A powerful build with comparatively longer legs

The FCI standard describes the Landseer as tall, powerful, and well balanced; especially in males, its legs are comparatively longer than those of the black Newfoundland.

A long white coat with black patches

Except on the head, the long, dense outer coat should be as straight as possible and soft; slight waves on the back and hindquarters are allowed. Clear white carries black body and croup patches, with white collar, forechest, belly, legs and tail. The head is black, with white muzzle and symmetrical blaze as a breeding goal. Ticking is discouraged in breeding but not penalized.
