Newfoundland dogs are known for being big, fluffy, and perhaps a bit slobbery.

But there are certain traits of this breed only the parents can understand!

1. Newfies are always there to cheer their moms and dads up

You are my sunshine, my only

sunshine. You make me happy, when skies are grey. You’ll never know dear, how much I

love you. Please don’t take my sunshine away.

3. Newfies LOVE to frolic in the snow as much as possible

5. These two have been best buddies since they met as puppies!

12. Newfies are actually super smart, and can be trained to do all sorts of impressive stuff

 

Halloween costumes. Candy

was clearly secure and Oso (which is Bear in Spanish) went as a Marip(osa) or butterfly in

Spanish. #obsessed with my #newfoundlands #dogsofinstagram #newfiesarethebestdogsever
