NEWFOUNDLAND

 

History - The date of origin reaches back to the 1700s on the coast of Newfoundland.  Ultimately it can be traced back to the Tibetan Mastiff.  by way of the Great Pyrenees.  In 1662, the first colony at Roougnoust was settled, complete with the Great Pyrenees dogs.  These dogs  were crossed with black English retrievers belonging to English settlers.  Some Husky blood may have been introduced.  This dog can be found in either solid  black or black and white coloration.  It has served as a draft dog and pack animal.  Today's primary function of the Newfoundland is water rescue.

Temperament - This is a sweet, calm, patient, easygoing, gentle, and  amiable. 

Upkeep - This breed needs daily exercise to stay fit.  It loves to swim and pull, especially in cold weather.  It seems  to be very sluggish in hot weather  and should be kept outside only in temperate  to cold weather.  It loves both house and yard, but need plenty of room.  Newfs drool a lot and are messy drinkers. 

Size - Males can reach weights of 150  pounds and females up to 120 pounds.  The height of a male is 28 inches and the female's average is 26 inches.
