head of newfoundland dog working sweet disposition loyalty natural water rescue tendencies
Newfoundland is a large, usually black, breed of dog originally used as a working dog in Newfoundland. They are known for their sweet dispositions, loyalty, and natural water rescue tendencies. The Newfoundland dog excels at water rescue, due partly to their webbed feet and amazing swimming abilities. Newfoundland dogs require grooming at least once every two weeks. They are extremely loving and patient, and Newfoundland puppies are laid-back and considered easy to housebreak. Newfoundlands ("Newfs" or "Newfies") have webbed feet and a water-resistant coat. Males weigh 60-70 kg (130-150 lb), and females 45-55 kg (120-140 lb), placing them in the "Giant" weight range. Some Newfoundland dogs have been known to weigh over 90 kg (200 lb). The largest Newfoundland on record weighed 120kg (260lbs) and measured over 6 feet from nose to tail. They may grow up to 22-27 inches tall at the shoulder. The American Kennel Club (AKC) standard colors of the Newfoundland dogs are black, brown, grey, and landseer (black head and white and black body); The Kennel Club (KC) permits only black, brown, and landseer; and the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) perminents are only black and landseer. The Landseer is named after the artist Sir Edwin Henry Landseer, who featured them in many of his paintings. AKC, CKC, and KC all treat Landseer as part of the breed. Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) consider the Landseer to be a separate breed; others consider it only a Newfoundland colour variation. International kennel clubs generally describe the breed as having a sweet temper. They are often referred to as the "gentle giant." They have deep barks, are easy to train, are fine guardians and watchdogs, and are extremely good with children.
