They are famously known for their affectionate nature and gentleness. These dogs have an innate instinct to help and protect their people, which is why they are considered the perfect pets in a house with kids or even service dogs. These wonderful dogs get along the most with children, however, sometimes they might not realize their huge size and may try to fit in everywhere. Moreover, these dogs may require some training to learn basic etiquette while living with people. Their approximate weight can range up to 150 pounds and size up to 27-30 inches tall. These dogs are from the Canadian island of Newfoundland – hence their name. These dogs were first used by fishermen for their assistance as they had webbed feet, knew how to swim naturally, and could save a man from drowning as well.
Their loving nature and extreme loyalty are what makes them the ideal family dogs that they are known for today, as you will see below.

Due to the docile nature of these dogs, they were given the name of “nanny dog” because nannies are also known to be loving and caring. Like the movie Peter Pan, Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s 11 children reportedly had a “nanny dog” who took care of the babies as these dogs absolutely love children.

We’re sure that at first glance, they might seem to be these huge and scary dogs but after reading about them, you are completely in awe.

These dogs may be the best pet to have, but they themselves need constant care and grooming as well which should be kept in mind before adopting them as well.
So what if I’m 150 pounds?
Newfoundlanders are gigantic dogs and have a massive lung capacity which helps them play for a long time and they do not get tired easily. Other than that, these dogs also drool profusely which aids them in keeping cool despite their double layers of coat.
Before you plan on adopting a Newfoundlander, keep in mind that these dogs consume a lot of food considering their huge size. The puppies grow the most in their first year and again almost 100 pounds!
Moreover, it is important to brush their coat often and they need daily grooming. Nails should also be trimmed frequently to avoid their feet being spread apart due to their weight.
Too cute to handle!
I’d be scared to death for a second if I see this in my kitchen.
What a hilarious sight!
