Details:
The Newfoundland is the canine version of a teddy bear: large, furry, cuddly and lovable. Newfies embody everything we love about dogs, including their loyalty and affectionate nature. Initially bred and used by fishermen to retrieve nets and small boats from the water, Newfies also make great family dogs because of their innate affability with children and adults alike. If you live in a cool place with easy access to a large water body and the outdoors, the Newfie is the dog for you. Newfies are famous for their incredible skill as swimmers and one of them is said to have saved Napoleon Bonaparte’s life when he fell overboard while returning from his exile in France. Newfies love the water and are used as lifeguards and water rescue dogs to this day.
