Have you noticed? I REALLY like fluffy dogs. Anyway, I saw a Newfie puppy at work. SO CUTE! They're called Newfoundland, Newf, or Newfie. The one I saw was super sweet, and very calm considering it's already 4 months old.
Excerpt from dogbreedinfo.com:
The Newfoundland is a dog with an outstanding, sweet temperament, courageous, generous, peaceable and intelligent. A calm, patient dog, who is mild with guests, and obedient with its master. They are very devoted, loyal and trustworthy. Their huge body tends to move rather slowly. They rarely bark, but are protective and brave when they need to be. When an intruder is caught they are more likely to hold them at bay, either by trapping them in a corner or placing themselves in-between the burglar and the family rather than an all out attack. Usually gets along with other dogs, but should be socialize well with them, giving a correction at any sign of aggressiveness to insure this behavior. Generally good with other animals. Patient, playful, and loving with children. Enjoys the outdoors, but also needs to be with their family. The Newfoundland tends to be very messy when drinking water and often drinks a lot. They do drool, especially after getting a drink, but generally are not one of the worst offenders compared to some other giant breeds.
