Gentle Giants
Newfoundland dogs
The Newfoundland
is a large working dog. They can be black, brown, or black and white.
However, in the Dominion of Newfoundland, before it became part of the
confederation of Canada, only black and Landseer (white-and-black)
coloured dogs were considered to be proper members of the breed.[2] They
were originally bred and used as working dogs for fishermen
in Newfoundland. Newfoundlands are known for their giant size,
intelligence, tremendous strength, calm disposition, love of children
and loyalty. They excel at water rescue/lifesaving because of their
muscular build, thick double coat, webbed paws, and swimming abilities
