History

• He originated in the Unite States
• He was developed in 1807 by breeding two Newfoundlands with various other breeds
• He's an excellent retriever; often used to retrieve ducks from icy water

Personality and Behavior

• He's intelligent, courageous, and alert
• He's bright and happy
• He loves being showered with attention
• He can be reserved around strangers

Training

• He's easy to train because he learns commands at an above average rate.

Shedding

• He sheds quite a bit of hair. You'll find some hair stuck to your clothes, couch and carpets.

Grooming / Maintenance

• His short coat only needs to be brushed occasionally. However, because it sheds you may find yourself brushing it once a week, or more, to minimize the hair in your home (what you remove with a brush doesn't end up on the couch!).
