Growing up, my neighbours had a Newf. I always thought she didn't have a thought in her head, she was so passive. Then one day one of the four little kids in the family started to wander into the road. That Newfie dog sprang into action, instant high alert, and blocked the child from going any further. Once all the kids were safely back in their yard, the dog settled back into her regular lolling self.

[@jeanhartely]

Yup! When I was a little girl, my parents had a Bouvier who didn't want me to leave the yard. Apparently it was okay to him if I went down the driveway, but if I tried to go across the lawn, he would muscle me back in. So if I wanted to visit my friend down the road, I had to go down the driveway while he watched my every move. When I came back he would be standing on the lawn waiting for me.

As a human owned by a Newfie, I thank you for showcasing their temperament and beauty. I have a 4 yr o!d Newf rn. They do require an owner that is willing and able to keep up with grooming. I first fell in love with the breed when an elderly neighbor passed away. Her daughter asked me if I would like to adopt George. He was 13yrs old ( which if you know the breed is amazing) and severely matted. Not because of lack of love and care. She brushed him everyday on her front porch. She was 97 and just didnt realized how his undercoat had matted up very badly over the years. When we got him he had to be shaved unfortunately. We were lucky though, his coat did grow back. It required a lot of c!ose grooming appointments to keep it from matting back up though. His groomer said that is why shaving a double coated dog is not something to do unless necessary. He knew us and already played with our kids. Her daughter was from out of state. We happily took him in, and I credit George with giving my son's now service dog the start in life she needed. He showed her how to be gentle and patient. We got the pleasure of 3 years with this gentle giant. He was the best book club member ever because he loved being a pillow for his humans. He helped me during my boys toddler years and welcomed the new baby boys with open paws. He would sit under a jumper so the boys could jump on him rather than the floor. He was taught 2 of my boys to walk by being a living walker. We knew his time was getting close and I would lay with him and beg him to tell me when he was ready. We didn't want him to ever have pain. One morning he woke up and couldn't stand. I knew he was ready to say goodbye. We weren't, but how could you ever be. Our vet has a home hospice service, where they will come to your home. We wanted him to pass in peace and not afraid at the vet's office. So my husband went and got him pancakes with syrup, bacon, eggs and a blueberry muffin. All the things he used to try and sneak because Mrs. Pearl used to give him a lot of people food. He ate like a king. All the kids said their goodbyes and my husband took them to a playground. George and I played on his bed and I thanked him for coming into out lives. I told him that he had taught Neela the pup. I to!d him that we would be ok and that it was ok for him to go join Mrs. Pearl because she had been waiting. He !used his eyes and peacefully went to sleep and. Crossed the rainbow bridge.

This is a true Newfoundland story: A 71 year old woman lived alone on a small island off the coast of Maine. She had two Newfis. She went out swimming one day and had a stroke. She started to drown, about 50 yards from the shore. Her two Newfis, Annie and Oliver, were playing in the waves. She was past the breaking waves. She started to go down - drowning. Within seconds, she felt large mouths on her arms. Annie and Oliver pulled her back to shore. She was able to stick her head up and breathe. She was able to crawl back up to her towel on the sand and rest. She then radioed her neighbor who came and got her in his boat, and he took her to the mainland to the ER. Annie and Oliver were fine and waited in the house on the island. She has facial paralysis but lived. Annie and Oliver are still with her today.

A face appeared sliding slowly out of the dark, looking like an intelligent black furry alien. I pushed my heart back down into my chest and realized it was a Newfie:) My first encounter with this magnificent breed and we became long time friends:) These are large dogs and this one was huge for the breed.

There are so many stories of families with swimming pools whose Newfs instinctively leap in to rescue children whenever they jump into the pool. They are incredibly sweet and gentle and loyal to their families. They are not good guard dogs because they are just too friendly. I would love to have one, but I live in a climate that is way too hot for them. Sadie is beautiful and incredibly sweet-a typical Newfoundland.

So true about not good guard dogs. My family had a Newfie, named Princess, when I was growing up. The running joke was if we ever had burglars Princess would have played with them. 😄

[@kyle5608]

Growing up I had a newfoundland and a newfoundland border collie mix after. They are super sweet but I'd say they're the perfect guard dog. They will bark and the deep pitch of their bark combined with their gargantuan size has scared many delivery drivers away😂 also my neighbor had 2 psychotic german shepherds who decided to attack our pure bred newf one day and she had the upped hand on them before I chased those dogs back into their yard.

[@adultonsethunter5370]

I grew up with newfies. 2 coats, basically a waterproof outer and an insulating down inner. The running joke was the only way they would ever stop a home invasion is if the robber trips over them on the way in. Did have one that HATED horses and saw a horse drawn carriage a few blocks down. She let out her lowest, loudest barks and a group of about 20 people walking toward us jumped and crossed the street.

[@edthedungeonmaster1015]

I grew up with an all black newfoundland as a very small child, exactly the same, even the mannerisms. What a good girl she was!

My uncle in Canada loved to tell the story about how the neighbour's Newfoundland used to come in his yard. He was relaxing on his porch and saw the dog hanging out and just ignored him as he snuffled around. Until he looked up and realised it wasn't a dog...

[@magicoofmac8904]

They really do resemble each other. Had that happen a while back myself. Said hello, he pops his head up and looks straight at me and I realized it was in fact a bear.

We have 2 Newfoundlands who come to our daycare. One of them, Geoffrey, could easily be mistaken as a black bear, and his fur isn't floofy but long and sleek and even naturally parts on the top of his head, so on windy days like today he'll hold his nose up to the wind and let his hair just blow in the wind lol😂.

[@deans6129]

Growing up in the country like us all our neighbours had dogs and one of them had a Newfie… you couldn’t find a more laid back or relaxed dog unless there was a bear nearby henceforth her name(Bear) as she showed absolutely no fear charging black and grizzly bears and she never once got injured. After chasing a bear she would go from aggressive, powerful and menacing to sweet and friendly and laid back once the danger was over. Biggest issue as already stated her fur had never been brushed but was never badly matted which was surprising and secondly the buckets of slobber she would release hourly. You always knew where she had laid due to the big glob of slobber on the ground.

[@2degucitas]

Are they slobbery due to their size and need to cool down?

[@xanthiara]

Yes they are a slobbery doggo! So giving them a good face wipe on occasion is needed, and they can get stinky due to the drool. So worth it though

The Newfie is definitely one of my top 3 favorite dog breeds. The term "gentle giant" describes them better than almost any other dog breed out there. They are just the sweetest temperament... so huggable, affectionate, loving, gentle and always the best boy in the room. Sadie is a shining example of her breed. She tolerated everything Vanessa did and did not complain even ONE time. Newfies are truly majestic, magical creatures of pure fluffy love. ❤

[@NoWayItsAzzy77]

​​@@Surya-bz2mwits not all about the money. I know a lot of people have connections with certain dog breeds. Yes there are other dog breeds that are a lot more easy to maintain, but its all about what the owner wants and what is good for the dog. If the dog is happy, thats what matters, not the money. And a lot of people that own these dogs are aware of the maintenance it takes.

[@candledapple]

​@@Surya-bz2mwI'd agree you shouldn't get a dog if you're not ready to pay their vet/grooming/etc bills, but the unfortunate fact is that sometimes situations change, whether that be job loss or (in the US especially) a medical issue arising.

They're great working dogs down here, too! My grandfather had four. Two Great Pyrenees and two Newfoundlands. They saved his livestock so many times. And us grandkids more than once or twice, too. I still miss them.

[@goodun2974]

If Newfies can be said to have a fault, it is that they might insist on rescuing you from the water whether you need to be rescued or not! I have seen training competitions taking place in the Mediterranean in Europe where they train Newfies and other dogs to jump out of helicopters to rescue swimmers!

[@ColdToesNow]

A former boss had a three legged Newfie and four sons. They lived on a lake and whenever the boys went swimming they had to lock him in the house or tie him on side away from the water. He would pull them out of the water every time he could get to them. Darling of a dog.

It's one of natures or god depending on your outlook, cruelest joke that dogs are on earth for such a small time. But to make that fact bearable you should remember that dogs feel time ~25% slower than us, so they get decades with us. It's the reason for that classic "Ive just been away for an hour calm down"

[@thomaslawlor4200]

You know, in a way every Labrador is a Newfoundland Labrador mix. While The Newfoundland already existed on the island when Europeans came here some 530 years ago. Nobody knows how they got here but there is speculation the Vikings brought them in 1000ad when they tried to settle here. It's also possible The Irish were responsible. it's possible they arrived here even earlier. In any event, the Newfoundland was recognized as a great asset to small boat fishermen from hundreds of years ago. Problem was, at often over 150lbs getting a wet one back over the side of a tiny boat was a challenge. Due to this, locals decided to try to create a condensed version of The Newfoundland. Using select Newfoundland's they bred (a now extinct), dog called The St. John's Water Dog. The result was a smaller and lighter animal with the same exceptional water abilities of the Newfoundland. This new Dog was known as The Lessor Newfoundland for many, many years. In the 1800's, a British naval officer stationed in Newfoundland thought the new dog would be very popular back home with sportsmen. He rechristened The Lessor Newfoundland The Labrador Retreiver because he thought that the name Labrador would sound exotic to people in The UK. The Newfoundland is also responsible for the existence of several other very popular breeds. Their story is fascinating.

[@stj971]

Thank you! Very interesting. They're wonderful babies! ❤️ Although I got Nero for my mom he turned out to be mine. But she fell in love w Newfies bc of him too!

[@jydeinden]

I met a mom with her 10 puppies, and she was sooo gentle and like "just do with them as you want" its one of the most gentle breeds on earth

[@ferretyluv]

Newfies were bred for water rescues. Their job is to be gentle but enthusiastic.

[@Silverhaired59]

As a very large person who pants out of breath a lot, I find myself wondering if the Newfies are calm because it just takes too much effort to bother with the small stuff. Save energy for play, saving drowning people, hauling fishing nets, and chasing bears away!

When my stepdaughters were 5 and 2, we were just wasting time in a pet store, and a man came in with the biggest dog I've ever seen in my life.. a 2 1/2 year old male Newfi. He proceeded to lay down in the middle of the store, and my stepdaughters just looked at the dog with the biggest smiles on their faces.. They looked up at the man, and at the dog, and he just said.. "ya you can play with him.. he loves kids". My girls were all over that dog and all 3 of them (the girls and the dog) were in heaven for about 10 minutes. The owner and I just watched and laughed... it was a great show. After we left and we driving home, the girls couldn't stop talking about him. Newfis are amazing.. probably the best family dog ever... as long as they don't roll over you.

[@frosty6960]

Its the source for the term "nanny dog" .. they will protect kids. If uve never seen an agressive newfie, wait until u see them with kids when something bad happens.
