NEWFOUNDLAND



Sweetness of temperament is the hallmark of the Newfoundland. This large, strong, active dog impresses the eye with great strength, dignity and pride. Originating in Newfoundland, he is equally at home working in water or on land and was used by fishermen to pull nets and haul carts. His heavy oily double coat, webbed feet, deep broad chest and well-sprung ribs make him a natural swimmer with true life-saving instincts. Unique gentleness, even temper and devotion make him an ideal companion for child or adult. Colors are solid black, brown or gray with white markings or piebald white and black.
