The Newfoundland
We have been asked to write about the Newfoundland Dog. My name is Kim Griffith, Owner, Breeder, and Handler of Newfoundlands for over 50 years. My wife and best friend, Gigi, has lived with the Newfoundland for nearly 40 years. I am a member of the Newfoundland Judges Education committee, and we are both mentors. This breed is dear to our hearts, and our experience in the breed is both in working events and in conformation. The Newfoundland is first and foremost a “people” dog. These dogs love to rest or work beside their owners. They are great caregivers and nurturers of the small and the weak.
