The most famous Newfoundland

Big Dog | March 8th, 2011

The most famous appearance of this dog breed was in the romantic comedy movie Must Love Dogs and it is based on Claire Cook’s book. The story begins with a 40 year old preschool teacher Sarah Nolan who is forced by her family to go back into the dating world. Her sister places a personal ad on a dating site with the quote: “must love dogs”. She doesn’t even consider that Sarah doesn’t own a dog. As a result of this Sarah goes on a tremendous amount of disastrous dates.

Finally, Sarah dates Jake Anderson in a park, who was also recently divorced, and this encounter seems to be different. Jake shows up with a borrowed Newfoundland and the romance begins. Jake tries to ask questions regarding Sarah’s profile, but he offends her. Soon afterwards Sarah finds out that Jake fakes that he is a dog owner and tells him that he is fake, but agrees to meet him again.

We can see in this movie that this breed has a gentle, friendly and loyal temperament with a massive and strong appearance.

Newfoundland Poem

D Dog Fan | April 7th, 2008

It is a known fact among Newfie fans, that Lord Byron dedicated a poem to a Newfie by writing one too! It can be seen these day as an inscription on the Monument of a Newfoundland Dog..and it goes like this….

Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who
possessed Beauty without Vanity,
Strength without Insolence,
Courage without Ferocity,
and all the Virtues of Man,
without his Vices.
This Praise, which would be unmeaning
Flattery if inscribed over human
ashes is but a just tribute to the Memory
of Boatswain,a Dog.

Lord Byron

Webbed feet???

D Dog Fan | February 13th, 2008

Yes. Webbed feet! A unique trait of the Newfoundland is that it has webbed feet. Much like the Portuguese Water Dog, that was also bred to pull heavy nets from water, thh Newfoundland is a real swimming champ! Of course, funny stories revolve around the breed’s talent to save people from drowning, but this is no myth! The webbed feet of the Newfoundland is one of the reasons why it excells at being a true water-dog!
