I have three Newfoundlands, as I fell in love with the breed when I rescued a Newfie mix from the shelter. He passed too soon, so I got a Newfie puppy and then another and then another. I absolutely love the breed as I am a water rat and love to hike and they are great companions. They can be couch potatoes, so making sure they exercise is really important. Also, shedding is crazy as is the slobber. If you are meticulous about house keeping forget this breed. They have to be groomed daily.
They aren't service dogs, but are amazingly attuned to my own emotional and physical conditions. Right now I am living in a camper with all three of them, due to COVID and my need to be isolated. They have their own room, except for Molly as she stays with me, unless she isn't dry, which is a lot of the time.
They are friendly, but protective when they need to be. Mostly they are just large, hairy, love bugs. Not a breed for everyone as they can be expensive even in regard to preventive medications due to their size, the need to be groomed and as they age, the health conditions that can arise in giant breed dogs.
Great breed of dogs, but definitely do research to make sure you don't get one as their are a lot of health issues and a reputable breeder is essential.
