pelaje del Landseer

The Landseer has a double coat, with a flat, coarse textured undercoat, which is oily and water resistant. The outer coat is moderately long, and can be straight or slightly wavy. Daily to weekly brushing of the thick, coarse, double coat with a hard brush is important. The undercoat is shed twice a year in the spring and fall and extra care is required at these times.
