| | These are standardized breeds with "Landrace" in their name. They are not free-breeding landraces, but were usually derived from them by selective breeding. Exceptions are the American, Canadian and South African, which are crossbreeds of only European stock, and the Belgian, another modern crossbreed of non-native stock. |
