History: One of the few native North American breeds, they come from Newfoundland Island in Canada, where they were said to have first arrived with the British and French fisherman who reach these North Atlantic shores. The Newfoundland ancestors may have included the Great Pyrenees and Tibetan Mastiff. The Newfoundland was bred by the early settlers to pull sleds, hunt and guard. They adapted to the rugged conditions of Newfoundland by developing webbed feet and an oily coat which allows them to remain in the water for long periods of time. Today they are popular as a household pet throughout Europe and North America.
