National Newfoundland Dog Day is a day to honor and celebrate the incredible Newfoundland dog breed. Known for their impressive size, gentle temperament, and loyalty Newfoundland's are one of the most beloved and admired dogs breeds in the world.
Originating from the island of Newfoundland Canada, these dogs were originally bred for tasks like pulling nets for fisherman, hauling loads, and even performing water rescues due to their excellent swimming abilities. In fact, the Newfoundland's ability to save lives in the water is legendary! With their strength, intelligence and love for water, they have rescued many individuals from drowning.
Despite their size - males often weighing between 100-150 pounds, Newfoundland's are known for their calm, gentle nature. They are often referred to as "gentle giants" due to their affectionate, patient, and friendly dispositions, particularly with children.
In addition to celebrating their history and traits, this day is also a reminder to provide proper care and attention to these majestic dogs, especially in terms of exercising, grooming and health needs due to their large size and unique physical characteristics.
