Newfoundland dogs are very well distinguished due to their large size and thick fur. They are the perfect companions for those who live up north or in high places. Their size can scare some people, but these creatures are real gentle giants.
As the world’s 5th largest breed, they can stand 27-30 inches tall and weigh more than 150 pounds. They have a double coat and are great swimmers, partly from being bred by Fisherman of Newfoundland and can even save a grown adult from drowning.
