Description

Newfoundland

The Newfoundland is a giant breed dog.  Males can be 28 to 32 inches tall, at the shoulders, and weigh from 120 to 180 pounds.  Females are generally smaller, ranging from 24 to 28 inches tall, at the shoulders, and weighing 100 to 140 pounds.

Many tales have been told of the courage displayed by Newfoundlands in lifesaving exploits and this has attracted the attention of a large number of artists, who have portrayed the dogs in paint, stone, bronze and porcelain over the last two centuries.
