I love Dogs
My favorite dog is a Newfoundland
The massive Newfoundland is a strikingly large,
powerful working dog of heavy bone and dignified bearing. The
sweet-tempered Newfie is a famously good companion and has earned a
reputation as a patient and watchful 'nanny dog' for kids. A male
Newfoundland can weigh up to 150 pounds and stand 28 inches at the
shoulder; females typically go 100 to 120 pounds. The Newf head is
majestic, the expression soft and soulful. The outer coat is flat and
coarse. Colors are gray, brown, black, and a black-and-white coat named
for artist Sir Edwin Landseer, who popularized the look in his
paintings. The Newfie breed standard says that a sweet temperament is
the 'most important single characteristic of the breed.'The Newf's
sterling character is expressed in their affinity for kids. Trusting and
trainable, Newfs respond well to gentle guidance. These noble giants are
among the world's biggest dogs, and acquiring a pet that could outweigh
you comes with obvious challenges.
