The Newfoundland Dog is one of the world’s most recognizable breeds. If you have ever visited his namesake’s Canadian province, then you will have a better understanding of the Newfie dog's attributes. The province of Newfoundland is rugged and sea-loving and its people are warm and gentle, with patience for those in need. Indeed, this is precisely the temperament of the Newfoundland Dog.

Early on, the Newfoundland Dog was a tireless worker. His enormous strength and unbridled courage made him a lifesaving resource on land and at sea. Today, the Newfoundland’s duties as a lifesaving dog are not totally retired, but generally, he is a beloved pet. Although, some Newfoundland Dogs have the rather posh job of a provincial mascot, touring far and wide representing his home. And, while on tour, the Newfoundland Dog is the star attraction to all he meets.

The Newfoundland does not have demanding exercise needs and prefers short, dignified walks or joyful romps in a fenced yard. Swims in cold water pulling nets or the like truly suits his fancy, but this can be a challenge to organize. The Newfoundland does especially well in cold weather and he will love to play in the snow. He is not however, well suited to hot weather so be cautious when walking your Newfoundland during summer months.

The Newfoundland dog’s sheer size and thick coat means that his grooming is demanding. He will need daily brushing to prevent matting and to control the shedding hair. In spring the shed is monumental so be prepared to sweep and vacuum daily. In summer, your Newfoundland will relish long, cool swims. While this activity can rejuvenate your Newf, the subsequent brushing can exhaust the owner. Winter is another challenge, especially if you live in a region that has the misfortune of snow. Your Newfoundland will play in it gleefully until he cocooned, mummy-like in snow. First he will need melting, then drying, then brushing.

And then there’s the drool…..
