The Newfoundland is an exceptionally patient dog who is fits into any type of household. He is a large and beautiful breed who rarely has a bad tempered unless provoked. Known for his love and ability to swim he has been known to rescue drowning victims. As with any giant breed his owner will require vigilance in his raising and caring for the Newfoundland, in return he will gives his complete devotion and constant protection.

The Newfoundland breed development is credited to the fishermen and settlers of the island of Newfoundland, Canada. It was known as a working partner of these people as far back as the 1600's and the breed is probably far older than even that. The Newfoundland is a hard worker, having worked with fishermen, on farms, and even delivering mail. The Newfoundland was and is a superb working dog, both on water and on land.

Today's Newfoundland has found work around the world. The French National Federation for Seaborne Rescue Dogs and the French National School for the Training of Rescue Dogs for Disaster use Newfoundlands particularly for rescue during extreme weather. Newfies see service in Canada and the U.S. as Avalanche Rescue Dogs. New Zealand uses Newfies as well for Search and Rescue. The Newfoundland is not just another pretty face in the conformation ring. They pull carts, track, pull sleds, they are working as service dogs and therapy dogs. And best of all, they will sit beside you when you need a friend.
