The Newfoundland dog is a large, strong, heavy-coated, active dog equally at home in the water and on land. A multipurpose dog, he is capable of heavy work. He has been used to pull nets for fishermen and to haul wood from the forest. His gentleness, even temper and devotion however make him an ideal pet for any family. A Newfoundland dog gift is a great idea for anyone who fishes or labors with lumber or many other such tasks.
In Newfoundland the breed patiently did heavy labor of all kinds. This included powering the blacksmith's bellows and the turner's lathe. Therefore the image of the breed is often on the tools of such trades.
The oily nature of the Newfoundland’s double coat (which effectively keeps him from getting wet to the skin), his webbed feet, deep, broad chest and well-sprung ribs make him a natural swimmer. The breed has true lifesaving instincts and is renowned in this role. Appropriately then, those in the Coast Guard might appreciate a Newfoundland Dog gift. Such gift ideas are novel and personal ones for so many tradesmen.
Newfoundland apparel, home decor items and statues are often excellent gift ideas for both those people who love the breed as well as those who are associated with the professions so often involving the Newfoundland in their histories.
A Newfoundland dog gift is an educational tool for children too. What better gift can be given than one which will teach children history and humane treatment of animals?
