Newfoundland Dog Breed

Welcome, I hope you enjoy this!

Newfoundland’s are an extraordinary breed of dogs. Many refer to them as “gentle giants”. This is because they are extremely gentle as well as very large dogs, making them the perfect family pet. They were originally used as working dogs that pulled nets for fisherman or hauled wood from the forest. Newfoundland’s have a heavy coat to protect them from icy waters. There coat can be many colors including black, brown, gray, or white and black. This is my landseer Newfoundland named Sailor. It is referred to as a landseer because of its white and black colors. As you can see above, Newfoundland’s have an extremely heavy coat that protects them from the cold.

Additionally, they are known for there ability to swim and rescue people. There are a variety of stories about Newfoundland dogs rescuing people from the water. Below is a video of a Newfoundland dog water rescue training.
