We consider an SU(3){sub c} x SU(2){sub L} x SU(2){sub R} x U(1){sub B-L} left-right symmetric model with three Higgs scalars including an SU(2){sub L} doublet, an SU(2){sub R} doublet and an SU(2){sub L} x SU(2){sub R} bidoublet. In addition to usual SU(2)-doublet fermions, our model contains SU(2)-triplet fermions with Majorana masses. The neutral components of the left-handed triplets can contribute a canonical seesaw while the neutral components of the right-handed triplets associated with the right-handed neutrinos can contribute a double/inverse-type seesaw. Our model can be embedded into an SO(10) grand unification theory where the triplets belong to the 45=(1,3,1,0)+(1,1,3,0)+... representations.
