NEWFOUNDLAND THE ARISTOCRAT AMONG DOGS
When rearing puppies give them soft food, like well-boiled milk and rice, the moment they will lap, and, shortly after, scraped lean meat. Newfoundland dogs need lots of meat to cause proper development. The dogs should increase in fat in the rate of 3 pounds. Per week, and this necessitates plenty of flesh, bone and muscle-forming meals, lots of beef, both raw and cooked. Milk can also be great, but it needs to be fortified with casein. The secret of growing school-age dogs with lots of bone and material is to get a fantastic start from arrival, good feeding, warm, dry quarters, and liberty for the dogs to move about and exercise themselves because they want. Forced exercise can cause them to go wrong on their legs. Medicine shouldn't be mandatory except for worms, and the puppies should be physicked for them shortly after they are weaned, and again when four or three weeks old, or before that if they are not thriving. If free of worms, Newfoundland puppies are available quite hardy, and, under proper conditions of quarters and food, they are simple to rear.
The look generally should indicate a dog of fantastic strength, and quite active because of his build and dimensions, moving freely with the body swung loosely involving the thighs, which gives a small roll in gait. To 120 lbs. Weight for a puppy toy, and 110 pounds. To 120 lbs. For a bitch, using a normal elevation at the shoulder of 27 inches and 25 inches ; but it is doubtful whether dogs in appropriate condition do conform to both conditions.
The body should be long, squarefoot, and massive, loins strong and well filled; chest deep and wide; legs quite directly, slightly short in proportion to the period of the human body, and strong, with round bone nicely covered with muscle; feet large, round, and shut. The tail should be only long enough to reach just below the hocks, free from kink, and never curled over the back. The grade of the jacket is very important; the coat should be very dense, with lots of undercoat; the outer coating somewhat harsh and quite straight.
Aside from colour, the types should conform to the exact same standard. The muzzle ought to be short, square, and clean cut, eyes rather wide apart, deep set, dark and small, not revealing some haw; ears small, with shut side carriage, covered with fine short hair (there should not be a fringe to the ears), expression full of intelligence, dignity, and kindness.
The dogs which take their name from the island of Newfoundland appeal to all fans of animals.There are currently two based types, the black and the white and black. Additionally, there are bronze-coloured dogs, but they are rare. The black range of the Newfoundland is essentially black in color; but this doesn't follow that there may be no other color, for many black Newfoundlands have some white marks. In reality, a white marking on the chest is said to be typical of the real strain. Any white to the head or body would set the dog in the other than black variety. The black colour should rather be of a dull jet look which approximates to brown. In the other than black course, there may be black and tan, bronze, and white and black. The latter , also in this colour, beauty of marking is very significant. The head ought to be black with a white muzzle and blaze, and the body and legs must be white with big spots of black on the saddle and quarters, with other little black spots around the legs and body.
