This week on Speed Breeds – the Newfoundland; or, Dogs Who Don’t Mind Really Cold Weather.

Name: Newfoundland

AKC Classification: Working Group

AKC Ranking: #42 in 2012, #43 in 2011

The biggest Newfie on record weighed 260 pounds and measured more than 6 feet from nose to tail.

Unlike the regular doggie paddle of most dogs, the swimming stroke of the Newfie is down and out (almost like a breast stroke). This motion, along with its massive webbed feet, gives it more power in the water.

In three words or less, tell us what springs to mind when you think of a Newfoundland.
