What large working dog has a water-resistant coat and webbed feet?

When I was 12, I went to visit our country's capital. along the route, I met up with 3 huge black Newfoundlands. They were so big, yet gentle and lovable, and amazingly bright with heavy, oily coats to keep their bodies warm in chilly seas. That is why they are used by the Coast Guard in rescuing people at sea in sinking ships. Remarkable creatures.

Suekirider, I Grew up with Newfies! My mother had four!! As well as a Shi Tzu and guess who the boss of all of them was? Yup the Shi Tzu...

I had a Newfie/lab mix who refused to get in any water. 😏

the description also fits the Portuguese Water Dog 😀😊

My sister had a Newfoundland/lab he was a beautiful dog , big but obviously not as big as a full breed. He was so gentle and loving, we was all so sad when he passed 🥺

Love them,but too big for me to handle 😊

Suekirider, they are way cool!!

Picked wrong one dragging my finger on screen doh!

Had two brothers. Doggie loves of my life!

NimuaeAvalon, so true 👍

NimuaeAvalon, many Americans seem to be ignorant of the geography of their own country is it not taught to them in school?

UltraViolet, I concur.

denesegray1974, the poodle was originally bred for water dogs

I am dumb I didn't know that

poodles also have webbed feet and are water retrievers!
