our trailer is a toy hauler. So the back 12 feet is a seperate room where we can set up crates and what ever... Nice to have a back door to go in and out of too when the weather is nasty. saves lots of cleaning.

Congrats!  He's adorable, so cute and cuddly.

here are mamma and pappa
Ivor and Imogen

oops,,,,female

a few new pics of Gabi

So when you have a litter, the way you can tell is that there is more white on the dog...so basically...a landseer is just color and a few differences in size?

Some of Gabi's litter mates were all black, not one white hair, but they will still have landseer recessive genes. There are also black newfies with white markings that do not have the landseer gene
The "perfect" landseer size should be the same size as a regular newfoundland.
there are different "types" of newfoundland dogs, the same as any breed....examp les: smaller heads, overall size, head type, ect. and all still fall into the above descriptions of a newfoundland

In Canada, the CKC refuses to recognize Browns and greys.....but they can all come from black parents...its all in the genes

On a giant breed, I would test the following:
hips
elbows
eyes
heart
thyroid
and possibly more more depending on the dogs breeding lines.
250 to 300 bucks around here plus the thyroid test (not sure on that one yet)
