#10 Close contact with the family is important for these dogs.
It's not a dog that should be kept in a kennel (let's face it, keeping a kennel only makes sense in the rarest of cases). He is playful and yet not over the top. Above all, his loyalty and attachment make him a great companion.
#11 The Newfoundland is rarely prone to excessive drive or aggression.
He looks a lot more relaxed than other dogs. He also barks very little. But if you think he doesn't care, you're wrong: even a Newfoundland dog would defend his family if the worst came to the worst. This breed of dog is also known to be alert.
