Newfoundlands are even nicer but sadly they have short life spans too.
Ditto that. We have had two Newfies and a sweeter dog just doesn’t exist in my opinion. He would heel for our 5 year old son. That was too cute - this 200 pound dog (in the winter he bulked up some) and his master.
Well now you did it - you got to post some pics.
They are wonderful “old bears.” Wonderful dogs. I need to research the geneology. Both the Neufies and the Labs came from Neufoundland as far as a I know. The Labs did not come from Labrador. The Labs came from the St. John’s dog which I think you or someone posted a picture which I saw of the last two old boys who became extinct about 100 years ago.
Both dogs are wonderful. There are a few Nuefies the world who work as a lifeguard. I saw a video of one plus pics at a Lake I think in northern Italy.
