The Newfoundland Dog

#doodlewashMay2022: Wave. Because Newfoundland Dogs are noted swimmers, rescuing people from freshwater and ocean waves alike.

Did you know the history of the Newfoundland Dog isn’t known for sure, but there are three popular theories –

They descended from:

• the ‘black ‘bear’ dogs brought to Newfoundland by Vikings around 1000 A.D.
• the now-extinct American Black Wolf and/or from other native dogs.
• the European dogs brought to Newfoundland in the 15th and 16th centuries.

I like the Viking theory. A Viking settlement discovered in Newfoundland during the 1950’s inlcuded skeletons of large dogs.
