PACIFIC SEAPORT LANDSEERS
NESTLED IN THE SMALL URBAN TOWN OF Grass Valley Californi is our small breeding program.I AM A MEMBER OF THE DEUTSCHER LANDSEER CLUB IN GERMANY AND BREED EXCLUSIVELY THE EUROPEAN CONTINENTAL TYPE LANDSEER. I AM PROUD TO OWN TWO YOUNG FEMALES FROM MY FRIEND AND OWNER OF THE PACIFIC COAST, THOMAS KNOTT. THOMAS AND HIS WIFE VIRGINIA IMPORTED DOGS FROM EUROPE AND INTRODUCED THE BREED TO AMERICA AND OWNED THE KENNEL PACIFIC COAST LANDSEERS, THE FIRST SUBSTANTIAL BREEDING KENNEL IN THE USA.
THROUGH THOMAS FRIENDSHIP AND MENTORING I AM ABLE TO BEGIN A SMALL BREEDING PROGRAM WITH MY GIRLS NEAH AND ONYX AKA CORINA OF THE PACIFIC COAST. DUE TO THE UNAVAILABILITY OF MALE LANDSEER THAT ARE NOT TOO CLOSELY RELATED TO BREED WITH HERE IN THE US ,I WILL RELY ON FROZEN SEMEN FROM FROM EUROPE. BREEDING WILL TAKE PLACE TRANSCERVICALLY BY A BREEDING SPECIALIST. IT IS MY INTENTIONS TO PRODUCE QUALITY DOGS OF EXCELLENT HEALTH AND STRUCTURE CAPABLE OF BEING ABLE TO COMPETE IN ALL WORKING DOG TRIALS. MY AIM IS FOR LONGEVITY SO THEIR FAMILIES CAN HAVE AND ENJOY THEM FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.
My girls are close in weight at 126 and 136 pounds and stand near 30 inches at their shoulder. They are playful with very friendly temperaments.
NOT ONLY MY PERSONAL DOGS BUT THEIR SIRES WILL HAVE THE APPROPRIATE GENETIC SCREENINGS FOR LANDSEER AS WELL AS CLEARED XRAY RESULTS OF THEIR HIPS ELBOWS AND SHOULDERS. BECAUSE OF THE RECENT CONCERN OVER HEART DEFECTS CAUSED BY PET FOODS, I HAVE ADDITIONALLY HAD MY DOGS HEARTS SCREENED AND CERTIFIED AS HEALTHY, NO DEFECTS.
I LOOK FORWARD TO SPEAKING WITH YOU IN THE NEAR FUTURE IF YOU FIND OUR DOGS AND BREED THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOU.
NEAH AT DISCOVERY BAY, CAPE GEORGE MARINA.
IS THIS THE BREED FOR YOU
THE EUROPEAN CONTINENTAL LANDSEER,ECT
AS WITH ANY DOG IT TAKES A BIG COMMITMENT. WITH THE EUROPEAN CONTINENTAL LANDSEER THAT MEANS 10-14 YEARS.
IT IS EASY TO BE IMPRESSED WITH THEIR BEAUTY AND LARGE SIZE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO REALIZE EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM IS MORE EXPENSIVE FOR THIS RARE BREED DOG IN THE US. VETERINARIAN CARE , PRESCRIPTIONS, PET FOODS AND BOARDING OR DAY CARE TO MENTION A FEW THINGS.
THE ECT IS A TALL IMPOSING DOG HEAVILY MUSCLED HAVING POWER SPEED AND AGILITY. THEY ARE REGARDED AS A GUARD DOG WITH A TRUSTWORTHY DISPOSISTION.AN ADULT IS A CONFIDENT DOG WHO KNOWS WHEN A REAL DANGER EXISTS. HE STANDS HIS GROUND BY GROWLING AND SNARLING BUT ONLY WHEN TRULY NEEDED WILL HE USE HIS TEETH. AS WITH MOST LARGE TO GIANT BREEDS,ADOLESCENCE CAN BE A CHALLENGE MOST NOTABLY IN THE MALE. EARLY OBEDIENCE TRAINING WITH A STEADFAST OWNER /HANDLER IS A MUST. ALL MEMBERS OF THE HOUSEHOLD SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN THE TRAINING. LANDSEERS TEND TO HAVE A GENTLE NATURE TOWARD SMALL CHILDREN BUT DO TO THEIR SIZE THEY SHOULD ALWAYS BE SUPERVISED. UNINTENTIONALLY A LANDSEER COULD EASILY KNOCK A YOUNGSTER DOWN. EVEN A FRIENDLY PAW HAS BEEN KNOWN TO DELIVER A BLACK EYE TO AN ADULT. THE ELDERLY COULD ALSO BE VULNERABLE.
IF YOU HAVE NEVER OWNED A GIANT BREED , I NEED TO EMPHASISE A 6 MONTH OLD PUP COULD WEIGH AROUND A HUNDRED POUND! STILL A CLUMSY PUP ONLY ABLE TO REACH THINGS YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE IMAGINED HE COULD REACH. HE WILL NEED TOYS SUITED FOR A GIANT DOG OR HE MAY THINK YOUR COUCH CUSHION WILL DO TO UNSTUFF WHILE YOUR IN THE BATHROOM.
MOST LANDSEER ECT ARE GOOD TRAVELERS ANXIOUS TO SEE WHAT AWAITS THEM. BUT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER THE AMOUNT OF ROOM ONE WILL TAKE IN YOUR VEHICLE. THEY SHOULD NEVER RIDE IN THE BED OF AN UNCOVERED PICKUP! THEY COULD GET PROJECTILES IN THEIR EYES, OR BE INJURED OR CHOKED IF TETHERED. CHASING AFTER A CHIPMUNK OR DEER IS NOT UNCOMMON SO AT HOME A 5 FOOT FENCE IS RECOMMENDED.I DO NOT ADVOCATE FOR THE INVISIBLE FENCE..
THE LANDSEER WANTS A JOB. THIS MAKES THEM EXCELLENT CANDIDATES FOR LEARNING DIVING, FETCHING, WATER RESCUE,LURE COURSING, OBEDIENCE,AGILITY AND CARTING TO NAME A FEW. A WELL TRAINED LANDSEER CAN MAKE AN EXCELLENT THERAPY DOG. BUT MOST OF ALL HE IS A COMPANION DOG WHO DOES NOT WANT TO SPEND HOURS A DAY IN A BACK YARD ALONE. HE IS A COMPANION DOG READY TO BE BY YOUR SIDE IN WALKING , HIKING OR SNUGGLING ON THE COUCH.
GROOMING THE ECT
- MY FOCUS IS ON THE PET LANDSEER. INTERESTINGLY THE ECT HAS A WATER REPELLANT COAT WHICH HAS A SPECIAL OIL ON IT WHICH IS SIMILAR TO THAT OF A DUCKS FEATHER WHICH IS REQUIRED FOR A DUCK TO FLOAT. PERHAPS THIS OIL ATTRIBUTES TO THE BUONCY OF THIS LARGE DOG IN THE WATER. YOU WONT WANT TO BATHE TOO OFTEN OR USE HARSH SHAMPOOS WHICH WILL DEPLETE THESE NATURAL OILS.
WHILE BATHING,SATURATING THE ENTIRE COAT WILL TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE YOU CAN LATER INTO A RICH LATHER WITH Q QUALITY SHAMPOO. PAY ATTENTION TO THE WEBBING BETWEEN THE TOES. AFTER A COMPLETE RINSE BE SURE TO USE A EAR CLEANER WITH DRYING PROPERTIES. THE PENDULOUS EARS CAN TRAP MOISTURE AND LEAD TO YEAST INFECTIONS. THIS SAME EAR DRYING SHOULD TAKE PLACE AFTER EVERY SWIM. MOST LANDSEER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE BATHED MORE OFTEN THAN BY -MONTHLY.USE A HIGH POWERED BLOW DRYER TO DRY THE COAT. THIS MAY NOT BE NECESSARY OF COURSE IN WARM TO HOT DAYS.
ROUTINE COMBING AND BRUSHING IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. THE THE HAIR TEXTURE AT THE BASE OF THE EAR IS SOFT ESPECIALLY IN YOUNG DOGS AND MATTS EASILY SO STAY ON TOP OF COMBING BY THE EARS. EVERY LANDSEER OWNER SHOULD OWN A LONG HANDLED METAL RAKE.A PIN BRUSH AND A SMALL AND LARGE SLICKER BRUSH. SPENDING 10 OR 15 MINUTES A DAY COMBING OR BRUSHING WILL KEEP YOUR LANDSEER IN GOOD CONDITION. SHEDDING OF THE LANDSEER IS ONGOING. MAKE THE GROOMING A POSITIVE BONDING EXPERIENCE.
TOE NAILS ON PUPPYS ARE RELATIVELY EASY IF YOU KEEP THEM USED TO HANDLING THEIR FEET.AS THEY MATURE THE NAILS GET WIDE AND THICK. THEY REQUIRE SHARP TOE NAIL CLIPPERS FOR LARGE BREED DOGS. IF THE NAIL BLEEDS STOP THE BLEEDING WITH BLOOD STOP.ALSO KEEP A TREAT ON HAND TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE TRANSGRESSION.. You can also get your dog used to a nail grinder which will leave their nails cut smoothly.
THE HAIR ON THE LANDSEERS FEET GROWS FASTER THAN ANY BREED I HAVE SEEN. YOU WILL WANT TO KEEP THE FOOT PADS TRIMMED SO THEY DONT SLIP ON SMOOTH SURFACES.IT WILL ALSO HELP TO KEEP THE FEET DRY.
Dont forget the teeth! Their are doggy toothpastes on the market or through your veterinarian. It may be easier to use a finger brush or guaze with the pasterather than a long handled brush Try all three and see what works for your Landseer.,
