The Newfoundland is slow moving and has a tendency to be lazy. They enjoy and benefit from play sessions, daily walks, and swimming. They are relatively inactive indoors. The Newfie will do okay in an apartment or condominium dwelling provided they are given sufficient exercise. They enjoy a run in a small fenced yard.

The sheer size of the Newfoundland makes it a bad choice for apartments or homes with small rooms. However, these dogs are not high strung and do not need excessive amounts of exercise. A fenced yard is usually sufficient. Of course, they still enjoy taking a leisurely evening stroll with their owners.

The Newfoundland requires daily brushing. The under coat is shed in the spring and fall and should be given extra attention at these times. Bathing should only be done when absolutely necessary to prevent stripping the coat of its' natural oils. Dry shampooing is best. They are prone to hip dysplasia, weight gain, and heart disease.

Enterprises engaged in manufacturing account for 13 percent of the annual gross domestic product in Newfoundland and employ about 22,000 workers. The most important industries are those that manufacture fish products and pulp and paper products; chemical and nonmetallic minerals industries are ... significant. The major centers of industrial production are St. John's and Corner Brook. Because industry is dominated by the processing of raw materials, a number of small centers in the rural areas of Newfoundland have manufacturing plants.
