Articles

 

There is a lot of information to be found in books and articles, and in electronic format. The information ranges from dog psychology books, training guides and magazines to people’s opinions and experiences. The internet, which contains a lot of information, is a great tool for finding the answers to any questions you may have about practically anything. However, remember that anyone can write anything on the web, so never blindly trust what you read. Everything is worth reading, but always remember to be critical, as there are a lot of different opinions and ways of thinking. The more you read, the better you can form your own opinions and ways of training and thinking. READING IS ALWAYS BENEFICIAL, and you can never have too much information.

If after doing your own research you still have questions about training, health or anything at all, please refer to your own breeder first, as they must always be your primary source of information and support. Local Newfoundland Clubs are also an invaluable source of information, as they can provide hands-on guidance.
 

Have fun exploring the Newfoundland breed!
