Overview:

The majestic Newfoundland is a large, powerful breed originating from the rugged coasts of Newfoundland, Canada, where they were bred to work alongside fishermen. Physically, they are renowned for their imposing size, broad head, and a thick, water-resistant double coat that can be black, brown, grey, or landseer (black and white). Beneath their formidable exterior lies a surprisingly gentle and patient temperament, earning them the nickname "gentle giants." Newfoundlands are exceptionally loyal, intelligent, and famously good with children, making them outstanding family companions. However, their significant size and need for space make them generally unsuitable for apartment living; a home with a yard is highly recommended. Prospective owners should also be aware of common health considerations such as hip and elbow dysplasia, heart conditions like subvalvular aortic stenosis (SAS), and cystinuria. Overall, the Newfoundland is a devoted and loving breed, thriving in environments where they are integral members of the family.
