Landseer

The first time I heard the name Landseer, I thought it had to be a mix of a Labrador-something-something. Boy was I wrong... 

The Landseer is another Canadian breed, closely related to the Newfoundland. Some kennel clubs consider the Landseer a black and white version of the Newfoundland, others see it as a separate breed.

They're known for being gentle and serene, and they love to swim. 

Landseers have been very popular with fishermen because they excel at rescuing drowning people.
