Landseer
Sponsored Links:The Landseer (Continental-European type) is a dog breed. Many kennel clubs consider the Landseer to be simply a black-and-white variant of the Newfoundland, but the FCI 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.
The dog “Nana” in Peter Pan, although often portrayed as a St. Bernard, was intended to be a Landseer. The 2004 movie Finding Neverland featured a Great Pyrenees as J. M. Barrie’s pet, on which “Nana” was based.
