A Question For NPDD Readers

Occasionally, we come to our readers to verify information we’ve found because many of you own the breeds in question, and we reason that you know best. More than once, we’ve come across statements stating that Newfoundlands have the longest toes of any breed, followed by Labrador Retrievers. This always has to do with both breeds being water dogs, and that begs the next question: Do Poodles, Chessies, Barbet, etc also have long toes since they, too, are water dogs?

  1. I don’t remember toe length, but I do remember my Brittanies having webbed feet! They’re excellent water retrievers as well as on land.
