History
During the colonial period, the great white and black "Newfoundland Dog" was brought to England. Due to their good swimming skills, these dogs are utilized by fishermen to pull the net into shore. They are also known for their ability to help drown people; Therefore, these dogs are bought and sold mainly by European fishermen. It is believed that, in general, the exports of these dogs occurred at the end of the 18th century. However, the paintings show us that these dogs must have existed in England at the beginning of the 18th century.
Because of their impressive performances, they are the subject of many books and paintings.
The most famous painting of this large white and black dog of this type is a portrait called "Honorable Members of Human Society" conducted by the famous English animal painter Sir Edwin Landseer in 1838. In fact, the subject of many Sir Edwin paintings are focussed on these dogs. The dog depicted in one of the most famous paintings is believed to have saved more than 20 people from drowning. Therefore, it is adopted as a member of human society.
