New Guinea Singing Dog


There is much uncertainty about the origin of the Newfoundland. Some think they come from the white Great Pyrenees, others say they come from a "French Hound." All agree that the breed originated in Newfoundland, and that his ancestors were brought there by fisherman from the European continent.

Newfy's are very large, with size and strength to perform the tasks required. They have heavy coats to protect them from the long withers and icy waters, feet are large and webbed so they can travel easily over marshes and shores.

The breed standard was written for a working dog, essentially a dog as much at home in the water as on dry land. Canine literature gives us stories of brave Newfoundland's who have rescued men and women from the water.

Males tend to be 28 inches tall and 130 to 150 pounds. Females are 26 inches and weigh 100 to 120 pounds. Newfy's colors can be black, brown, gray, and white and black. Since the breed is so large, if you are interested in owning one, you must be sure that the breeder OFA certifies all breeding stock. Hip problems in large breeds are very common, and very painful to the dog. It's best to pay more to get a well bred puppy, than to have to put the dog through painful surgeries down the road.

Grooming a Newfy takes a bit of time. They are very large and have a lot of coat. They need to be brushed and combed often to keep the coat from matting.

Health concerns with the Newfoundland include Hip Dysplasia, seizures, bloat, Panosteitis, entropion Newfoundlands love shade, air-conditioning, lots of drinking water, and wading pools. They are extremely susceptible to heatstroke in hot, humid, and/or stuffy conditions.
