Summary
About Landseer
The Landseer is a giant, black‑and‑white water rescue and companion dog, calmer and more athletic than a Newfoundland. Gentle, people‑oriented and usually excellent with children, it needs space, regular grooming, steady training, and active owners willing to handle drool, mud and shedding.
About Auvergne Pointer (Braque d'Auvergne)
Medium French pointing dog with black‑and‑white “ink splash” coat, calm yet athletic. Sensitive, affectionate and people‑oriented, it bonds closely with its family. A versatile hunter needing 1.5–2 hours of daily activity, it is rare outside France but valued for its rustic, working character.
