I truely have NEVER been a dog lover, I really haven't but since having these dog's I can totally see why people go COOKOO, after these dog's so here are some FUN fact's!!!
1. Did you know that Napoleon Bonapart was rescued by a Newfoundland, when he was drowning in the ocean?
2. Nana in Peter Pan was a Landseer Newfoundland!
3. Lewis and Clark had a Newfoundland on their journey, and when one of them died, it starved itself to death, from not leaving his grave!
4. In world war II. A Newfoundland was given a medal of honor for rescuing people who were drowning after their ship was attacked!!
5. Newfoundland's have webbed feet, and broad chest's to combat the ocean, they do not doggie paddle, but do the breast stroke!!
6. They are known as the "babysitter" I heard a story of a woman who was talking to her friend by the pool, her toddler would crawl to the pool, and the Newf would grab it by it's diaper, and bring it back and sit, again and again this would go on!!!
7. In their description it is known for it's SWEETNESS, isn't that interesting what other dog do you know of that talk's about personality!!
8. They might be big, but they actually only eat as much as a Lab!
9. They are working dog's, they need to feel like they are doing something, put a doggie backpack on them when you go hiking, make them run around pulling a tree limb, they LOVE it!!
10. They will let man or animal come near their family, as long as they have good intention's, if not they will use their size to intimidate!! They will simply put their body in front of yours, put their head down no barking, no growling just stare them down!!
11. It is a myth that these dog's don't bark, they absolutley DO, but I have noticed it is alway's with purpose, I know exactly what bark is for what, feed me, someone is here, and hey what ya doin!!
These dog's really are what they say they are, it is REALLY fun to see their SWEETNESS!!!
