Newfoundlands
Advantages; Hearty almost impervious to water & cold. Better in heat than Malumutes or Huskies
Loyal, great temperment, not super high energy or maintanance.
Bred for water rescue and pulling/drafting cart work, A strong working breed.
Big, soft, furry, cuddly, and adorable. +++++ on babe magnet scale.
Intellegent and easily trainable.
Disadvantages;
Shedding hair and slime. Not the easiest grooming breed.
Not the best 10k vert dogs but can hold their own on ups.
Big dogs dont live much past 10 yo. Can be pricey and hard to find quality breeders.
My first dog after leaving the P's house was a $5 gas station puppy, a shepard/newf mutt Crosby, and that dog rocked. All the good attributes from both breeds.
Mutts can be a crap shoot but their plentiful, cheap, and many turn out to be great compananions.
If your gonna go w/ a purebred do your legwork and Bandogge has some good points.
