Working Dogs

The Newfoundland is a working dog traditionally bred to pull nets from the sea, help haul fish to market and rescue fishermen who had gone overboard. Today Newfies earn NCA working titles as draft and water rescue dogs, but can also help man working as therapy dogs, search and rescue dogs, assistance dogs and more. A versatile and enthusiastic worker, the Newfoundland dog lives to please and have fun with their people.
