Newfoundland Dogs Events and Display Team
Some dogs take to the water right away others take a bit longer, None of the dogs are forced to do anything that they do not want to do it has to be fun for them and when you see them in the water you will realise how much they do love what they do, they tend to get very excited when they are working and the noise gets louder as the dogs all want to be in the water at the same time..

- Water Rescue Displays at Boat Shows, Corporate Events, festivals & Village Days
- Land Displays at Country Shows, Local Village Days & School Fetes
- Draught & Water Tests/Trials throughout the UK

The History of the Newfoundland Dog. It was used
by the fishermen in Newfoundland, and because of their strong physique and webbed feet they used to take them out on the fishing boats and if any one fell overboard the dog was sent in to rescue them, they were also used to pull the carts full of fish from the dock to the market.
Newfies and Children. In the story from the original Peter Pan, Nana was a Newf? That is why Newfoundland’s and Children make such a perfect match. These Gentle Giants love Children are very tolerant of their behavior, though as with any Dog an adult should always be present to insure that no injury comes to either dog or human.
Newfoundland Dogs they make the most wonderful pets. Loyal and sweet tempered, they are devoted to the family that cares for them. Because of these traits they need to be included as part of the family as they love nothing better than to please. Yes they shed their coat they drool when they are hungry,exited,after a drink and they are hot, you always need a slobber cloth handy at all times, in regards to moulting they usually 'Blow' their coats twice a year, in the spring and winter, but regular grooming keeps the coat healthy and reduces the amount that comes out.
