Landseer vs Rhodesian Ridgeback

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.

The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a powerful, athletic African hunting dog with a distinctive ridge of reverse-growing hair. Loyal and affectionate with family but reserved with strangers, it needs ample daily exercise, consistent positive training, and suits active, experienced owners.
