The Newfoundland is a large, gentle, and hardworking breed known for its impressive size, thick double coat, and webbed feet. Originally bred as a working dog for fishermen, Newfoundlands are strong swimmers and natural lifeguards, often excelling in water rescues. Despite their large stature, they are known for their calm, sweet, and affectionate nature, making them excellent family pets, especially with children. Newfoundlands are loyal, protective, and good-natured, getting along well with other pets and people. Their thick coat requires regular grooming, and while they need plenty of space to roam, their gentle temperament and devotion to their families make them a cherished companion.
