Description
Summary:Newfoundland dog Everyone has heard of Newfoundland dogs, and every- body wants to get one. They ought to be pretty large, quite black, with rough waving shiny hair, black roofs to their mouths, mild wise faces, and long tails, with a slight curl at the end. There is hardly a specimen of the pure breed left in the country, and the few that remain are prized. The small smooth black Labrador dog is not so much valued. Packs of cross-bred brutes of all sizes prowl about all these coast settlements. They feed on fish offal, and seem to be a highly independent com- munity.
