Brown and White Newfies?

I was checking out newfies on the web and came across an ad for a brown and white newfie. Are they possible? Please any help is greatful.

Yap, Landseers come in all color combinations white and black (traditionally),white and brown, and white and gray! The recessive gene that is hereditary is the pattern not the color combination. So, yes you can get the Landseer pattern in all the above combinations. Purists will tell you anything other then white and black is not a true Landseer merely a mismark but the truth is the pattern is hereditary not the color combination. Brown Newfs can also have white chests and white feet--all the same usual patterns black Newfs have. Marie Campbell Evarista Newfoundlands
