Disposition
The Newfoundland will serve you with great loyalty, devotion, and dedication with a keen sense of understanding your human emotions. They make great watchdogs because they will place themselves between their owner(s) and an intruder, even though they are not aggressive in nature. It’s their protection instinct. When socialized early, your Newfoundland will show great patience and kindness toward other pets and children. Despite its working breed history, the Newfie is actually a bit of a lazy dog and will not require a whole lot of exercise, just enough to allow it to burn off steam so it can go back indoors and relax.
