@Retrieverman1 well i for one wont lose any sleep over it.. dogs are as happy around water and retrieve just as well here, even stand on the dock waiting for their owners to return from fishing... mixed breeding of the nice dogs continues today....the Lifestyle of the Newfoundland people who own them determine the temperament of the dogs bred as it always has in many outports all around the island...you probably wont be able to google that..

@jsmallwood2007 I'm sorry but the original strain is extinct. All that remain are Labrador crosses.

But of course the original dog was a mixture of who knows what. It was a landrace.

Do a little google search and you'll see photos of the last two of the original strain. They were at Grand Bruit.

@jsmallwood2007 I can trace every golden retriever, every flat-coated retriever, and every Labrador retriever with a known pedigree to some dog that was imported from Newfoundland or arrived via the cod fishing boats.

The root stock of all of these dogs is the black, smooth-coated water dog that went extinct in the 1970's. All that remain are some dogs with a lot of Labrador retriever ancestry. Labrador retrievers in their present form were created in Scotland and England from those water dogs

Those are Labrador crosses. I'm talking about the water dog. The old dog writers called it a St. John's dog or St. John's water dogs. There is a Labrador retriever historian, Richard Wolters, who took photos of the last two in the 1970's.
