Newfoundland
These big, strong dogs are recognized for their large size and noble look, but inside, they have a kind and gentle spirit. Newfoundlands, often called "Newfies," are well-loved for being calm and attentive friends, particularly with kids. Their friendly demeanor makes them popular in many households. These sturdy dogs are not only powerful but were also used in the past to haul carts and save lives in water rescues. Their thick fur, which has a soft layer underneath and a waterproof layer on top, helps keep them cozy and dry.
