Learn About Newfoundlands — Ooh Over These Adorable Shots

I recently photographed irresistibly fluffy Newfoundland puppies and wanted to share cute, bite-sized facts about the breed to pair with the images.

Fact: Newfoundlands are famous for their calm, gentle nature — often called “nanny dogs” for their patient way with children.

Fact: Bred for water rescue, Newfs have a natural affinity for swimming and a waterproof double coat.

Fact: Their double coat repels water and keeps them warm; regular grooming prevents mats and reduces shedding.

Fact: Newfoundlands have webbed feet and powerful muscles — traits that made them excellent working dogs for fishermen.
