CRANIAL REGION
Skull: Broad and massive with well-developed occipital protuberance.
Stop: Decided, however not as pronounced and steep as in the Saint Bernard Dog.

FACIAL REGION
Nose: black.
Muzzle: Length of muzzle is equal to depth of muzzle measured in front of the stop.
Lips: clean, black; upper lip as tight as possible, slightly overlapping the lower, no drivelling.
Cheeks: moderately developed, gradually tapering into the muzzle.
Jaws/Teeth: scissor bite.

Eyes: medium size, moderate deep set, brown to darkbrown; lightbrown to be tolerated, friendly expression, almond shaped, showing no haw. Pronouncedly light eyes (sulphur- or greyish yellow) as well as eyes set too close together, are faulty.

Ears: medium size, when drawn out, reaching till the inner corner of the eyes. Triangular shape, with slightly rounded tips. Set high on head, however not too far back. Carried close and flat to the sides of the head; ears covered with short, fine hair, fringes of longer hair to be found only at the back part of the root of the ear.

NECK
The neck should not be quite round but rather egg-shaped in cross-section. The neck rises, muscular and broad, from the shoulder-chest-region to the head. In a symmetrically build dog, the length of neck from occiput to withers is approximately 3/4 to 4/5 of the length of the head, measured from the occiput to the nose.

Pronounced dewlap is undesirable.

BODY
The length measured from withers to set of tail should be about twice the length of the head. Broad and strong from withers to croup.

Back: straight and level.
Loin: muscular.
Croup: broad, well rounded sidewards and backwards by powerful bolster of muscles.

Chest: between the very muscular shoulders the chest is deep and broad with corresponding well sprung ribs of the chest.

Belly: slightly tucked up. Clearly visible flat depression between belly and loin. Weak or hollow back, weak loins, too short false ribs and too much tuck-up of the belly are faults.

TAIL
Strong, reaching slightly below the hocks at the most, well covered with dense, bushy hair, however not flaglike. Tail should hang downwards when the dog is standing or at ease, with a slight curve at the end permissible. When moving or when excited the dog may carry his tail straight out with only a slight curve upwards of the tip of the tail. Tails with a kink or curled over the back are most objectionable.

LIMBS

FOREQUARTERS
Strong muscles descending from the shoulders are surrounding the strong bones of the upper arm, to which is connected with correct angulation the strong bone of the, seen from the front, absolutely straight and muscular frontlegs. Legs slightly fringed down to pastern.

Elbows: Close to body and the lowest point of the brisket; distance from ground to elbows rather high; elbows pointed straight to the rear.

HINDQUARTERS
The hindquarters should be powerful. The hindlegs should move very freely and they should have strong bones, covered with powerful muscles. The hindlegs are moderately fringed.

Upper thighs: particularly broad.
Dewclaws: are objectionable and should be removed as soon as possible after birth.

Cowhocks and lack of angulation are faulty.

FEET
Large, well shaped cat-feet. Splayed or turned out feet are objectionable. Toes connected by strong webbing, almost reaching the tip of the toes.

GAIT/MOVEMENT
The movement and gait of the well-muscled legs should present a free, long stride with good drive, thus covering ground well.

COAT

HAIR: The top coat should, with exception of the head, be long and as straight and dense as possible, soft to the touch, with good undercoat, which is not as dense as in the black Newfoundland. Slightly wavy coat on back and thigh is not objectionable.

When brushed the wrong way it should fall back into place naturally.

COLOUR: The main colour of the coat is pure white with distinct black patches on body and croup. The neck, forechest, belly, legs and tail must be white. The head is black. Desirable is a white muzzle with a white, symmetrical blaze, extending from the muzzle to the white collar, neither to narrow nor too wide. Ticking still occurring in the white is not a fault, but should be bred away.

SIZE
The height at withers of a Landseer may vary:

Dogs average between 72 and 80 cm (28,5 and 31,5 inches).

Bitches average between 67 and 72 cm (26,5 and 28,5 inches).

Small deviations below or above to be tolerated.

FAULTS
Any departure from the foregoing points should be considered a fault and the seriousness with which the fault should be regarded should be in exact proportion to its degree.

N.B.
Dogs should have two apparently normal testicles fully descended into the scrotum.
