About the Newfoundland:
Newfoundland information, advice,
answers and dogs facts

The Newfoundlands sweet and gentle nature makes them an excellent companion for children. They are instinctively protective of their family, especially around water. Some Newf owners actually have to keep their dogs away from the pool because they are constantly trying to pull people out! They have a thick double coat which protects them from the cold, and they shed their undercoat twice a year. Daily brushing is recommended, and care should be taken to clean and dry the ears after the dog goes swimming.
