Naturally, large dogs live for shorter periods of time than small dogs. This is because large dogs have more joint problems and heart troubles.

The average Newfoundland can live to be about 10-12 years old.

An 'outdoor' Newfie (participates regularly in water rescue, outdoor activities, lives mostly outdoors) can live to be about 9-11 years old, because of more stress on their joints.

A well-cared-for and loved Newfie can live to be about 14-15 years old. Treat him like you would treat your family--he IS part of your family. Newfoundlands are amazing, gentle, peaceful and sweet dogs. They make wonderful guardians and are gentle with children.
