he Landseer is a dog breed. 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 (March 7, 1802 - October 1, 1873), because in 1838 he created the painting The Distinguished Member of the Humane Society, which shows a dog of this breed.(Wikipedia)
