For centuries, the large, friendly, devoted dogs known as
Newfoundlands have worked diligently on their home island of
Newfoundland in the far east of Canada, working alongside
fishermen as rescue and working dogs. These web-footed,
water-loving dogs have a natural instinct for water rescue.
There are many stories of these dogs pulling their owners out of
the cold and rough Atlantic waters to safety, aided by their
thick, water repellant coat, webbed paws, and tremendous
strength, endurance and intelligence. It is thought that the
Newfoundland dog descended from
Tibetan Mastiffs who
migrated to Newfoundland many centuries ago and were later bred
with Viking Bear Dogs brought to the island by Leif Eriksson in
the 1100's. Fast becoming one of North America's most popular
family dog breeds, Newfoundland dogs are very devoted to their
owners and love being part of large families with children. They
have a dense, oily double coat which requires daily grooming.
Newfoundland dogs need plenty of daily exercise - and love to
swim. They do not enjoy hot weather, and do best in cooler
climates. |
