About the Newfoundland

The Newfoundland is a giant dog breed originating in Canada (Newfoundland). Adult dogs typically weigh 100 to 150 pounds and live 9 to 11 years. The breed is described as gentle, water-loving, patient-with-kids, devoted.

Households with access to summer swimming and space for a giant dog. The breed is famously gentle with kids. Hot climates without air conditioning, small spaces, or households without time for daily heavy coat care.

Adult Newfoundlands need about 60 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 75 minutes. The coat is double-coated with very-high shedding, and weekly brushing keeps the coat manageable.
