People Are Posting Adorable Pics Of Their Newfoundlands And You Will Definitely Want One
Newfoundlands are the kind of dogs that make people stop in their tracks, mostly because they are so big, fluffy, and unmistakably impossible to ignore.
Known as gentle giants, Newfoundlands are one of the largest dog breeds in the world, with webbed feet, thick coats, and a long history of helping fishermen in Canada. They are also famously loyal, patient, and surprisingly sweet with families, which is why so many owners are happy to show them off.
From lap-dog behavior to full-on bear-sized cuddles, these Newfies are about to steal the show. Read on.

The Newfoundland's gentle nature has even earned them the nickname of the "nanny dog." They are fantastic with children, and it is reported that Senator Robert F. Kennedy and his wife had one as a "nanny dog" for their 11 children, similar to the story of Peter Pan.

These huge dogs have a humongous lung capacity, which helps them play for hours, and they are guaranteed to still have plenty of energy left long after you've had enough. They also drool a lot, as this is how they keep cool with their double coat.
If you're planning on getting a Newfoundland, you will need to be prepared to buy lots and lots of dog food. Pups gain around 100 pounds in the first year of their lives, so they eat a lot!
They also need to be groomed regularly. Their coat requires regular brushing as it sheds frequently, and their nails need to be trimmed often to prevent their feet from splaying under their heavy weight.
This reminds us of Fin’s reaction to the blue whale surfacing in front of him.

However, although these dogs can be hard work and should certainly be researched properly before you consider adopting one, they are most definitely wonderful additions to any family.
They are loyal, gentle, and loving companions who will have you falling in love the moment you open your heart to one.
