#16 A small Newfoundland should have a well-proportioned physique and be a tiny replica of an adult dog.
A puppy is supposed to be active, curious, moderately well-fed. Its coat should be shiny and clean, without tangles, and the bite should be correct.
#17 A distinctive feature of the breed is a passion for water
Newfoundlands are able to dive, take long swims, they are unsurpassed rescuers of drowning people.
Newfoundlands are characterized by high socialization and genuine heroism. Many animals are in the service of the police, military units, work as guides.
Dogs are very friendly and enjoy communicating with people, including strangers.
#18 Newfoundlands behave on an equal footing with adult family members.
Babies are treated patronizingly, protect them and patiently endure annoying harassment.
Attached to other family pets, from parrots to cats. They do not feel aggression towards strangers and try to establish friendly relations.
The goodwill of the Newfoundland will not allow him to be a guard dog, he does not have an innate aggressive reaction to strangers, he needs time to assess the situation. However, sensing the danger to family members and dwellings, these dogs immediately rebuff the enemy.
