History	The breed originated in the island of Newfoundland from indigenous dogs and the big black bear dog introduced by the Vikings after the year 1100. With the advent of European fishermen, a variety of new breeds helped to shape and reinvigorate the breed, but the essential characteristics remained. The Newfoundland Dog was already largely in possession of his proper morphology and natural behaviour when colonization began in 1610.
