Newfoundlands are known for their striking appearance, with a thick, waterproof coat that is typically black, brown, or grey in colour. They have a large, muscular build, and are known for their strength and endurance. They are intelligent and easily trained, but they can be stubborn and require consistent, patient training and socialization to become well-behaved pets.

Newfoundlands are generally good with children and other pets, and they are known for their calm and gentle nature. They are generally easy to groom, with a thick coat that requires regular brushing to prevent matting, and they are known to shed, especially during shedding season.

Newfoundlands are generally healthy and long-lived, with a lifespan of 9-10 years. They can be prone to certain health issues such as hip dysplasia and other joint problems, as well as certain eye conditions, so it’s important to work with a reputable breeder and keep up with regular vet check-ups. With proper care and training, Newfoundland can make a loving and loyal companion for the right family.
