NEWFOUNDLANDS
The Newfoundland is a sweet-dispositioned dog that acts neither dull nor ill-tempered. He is a devoted companion.
A multipurpose dog, at home on land and in water, the Newfoundland is capable of draft work and posseses natural
lifesaving abilities.
The Newfoundland is a large, heavily coated, well balanced balanced dog that is deep bodied, heavy boned,
muscular, and very strong. A good specimen of the breed has dignity and proud head carriage.
Average height for an adult male is 28 inches, and females 26 inches.
Approximate weight of adult males range from 130 - 150 pounds, and adult females
100 - 120 pounds. The Newfoundland male's appearance is more massive throughout
than the female's large size is desirable, but never at the expense of the balance, structure and
correct gait. The Newfoundland is slightly longer than tall when measured from point of shoulder to point
of buttocks and from withers to ground. He is a dog of conciderable substance which is determined by spring of rib,
strong muscle, and heavy bone.
Sweetness of temperment is the hallmark of the Newfoundland; this is the most important single characteristic of the breed.
Feathers And Fleece Farm has both solid black and landseer (black and white) Newfoundlands.
We do not raise brown Newfoundlands because you can not breed brown to black , nor can you
breed brown to landseer, the result is an unrecognized color for show purposes.

Why Newfies At Feathers And Fleece
We started raising Newfies several years ago to fill a void of customers that were looking for a large breed dog with a lower
energy level. I personally wanted to raise them because they are very large and super cuddly!
We also have a large lake that no one uses, so it only made sense to get a breed of dogs that could
enjoy themselves.
I cater to a large group of clients that need their dogs for service and companions. This breed
requires much less exercise to stay happy.
Having said that, it is vital to exercise your Newfie! I have always told clients that every dog needs
to exercise a few times every day. Life is about balance, too much rest, and down time will take it's toll on
any animal. Newfoundlands do very well in a city setting and are very happy with walks through the city.
Newfoundlands love to be brushed and enjoy the time you will spend stroking thier shiny coat.
They have very soft coats and it is written that you should not wash them too often, but brush as often as you like.
If you do brush frequently you will find that they are not a shedding problem.
Newfoundlands simply love everything!
They love children, but are large so watch them around small ones they will knock them over.
Newfoundlands love other animals - size is no issue!
My daughter has a tiny teacup Pomeranian ( pictured at top of page )
and is just as welcomed with the Newfies as any other large breed. Newfoundlands are just as
careful with a tiny dog as she is with her own puppies.
We OFA certify our Newfoundlands to be sure we have a health hips on these large breeds.
Newfoundlands love the winter and the snow due to the thick fur on them, but they can easily overheat in the summer
for the same reason.
We sought out Newfies for ourselves that had tight lips and a good jaw ( see photos) this has paid off
as we do not have a drooling issue, but as you will read on other pages large inactive dogs will drool.
It is vital to watch the diet of your Newfoundland and allow them plenty of exercise.
As you can see from the photo of Paisley above..... Favorite way to pass the day - Napping.
Here is Paisley waiting for breakfast which is her second favorite thing to do - EAT!
