Check out these ads for the island of Newfoundland. Some are filmed close to where I live. The one that shows a white house is filmed just up the road from. Newfie Ads

I'm a Chessie owner.
Back in the days of the Basque whalers they brought a dog with them to the waters around Newfoundland and Labrador. It was more directly related to the present Portuguese water dog. From it have come the following breeds: The Newfoundland dog, the Labrador Retriever, the present Portuguese water dog and the Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Two of those dogs were in a ship that was wrecked off the Chesapeake Bay, natch, and they were bred into the present Chessies.
Check any web page of any Chessie association and you will find that 'history'.

Thanks, Little Kopit, very interesting! Did not know that history. When we were in Newfoundland, I was interested in all the stories of heroism of the Newfoundland Dogs. And of course, one such dog accompanied the Americans Lewis & Clark on their expedition. Many statues on the route include the dog, Seaman.
