Q&A
answer · Newfoundland
My Newfie believes he's a part-time shadow. It's pretty charming, but sometimes I have to remind him that I do need some space!
answer · Newfoundland
Absolutely! My Newfie is surprisingly gentle even with smaller animals. He has a way of being tender and calm, which always catches me off guard considering his size. It’s such a beautiful characteristic of the breed.
answer · Newfoundland
I would absolutely recommend a Newfoundland. They are gentle giants with such a loving nature. We’ve had ours for several years, and he is fantastic with our kids and other pets. Newfoundlands are known for being great swimmers, and ours loves the water, especially in summer. They do require grooming due to their thick coats, but the extra effort pays off with their sweet, calm demeanor.

Mine will swim in the lake just to retrieve my items. It's like he's my personal lifeguard!
answer · Newfoundland
Absolutely! Newfies love swimming and are natural swimmers. They have webbed feet, which helps them glide through the water.
question · Newfoundland
My Newfoundland noticed I was carrying groceries... then stood in the doorway like a giant furry traffic cone 😂 Does anyone else's Newf always want to "help"?
answer · Newfoundland
Newfoundlands are big-hearted and love to be around people. But training them can take time, as they can be a bit stubborn. It’s essential to start early and be consistent. Their protective instincts can sometimes make them overly cautious around new people.
answer · Newfoundland
Definitely, I would choose a Newfoundland again. They're incredibly gentle giants and great with kids.
