5. Newfoundland
This breed is very large and very loyal. They are most recognized for their love of water and will take any risk to save someone from drowning, especially a family member. They have been known to jump in and rescue a family member who was just playfully swimming in the water, thinking they were drowning, which is just their love, devotion and loyalty shining through. These dogs weigh in between 130-150 pounds, which makes them one of the largest breeds, and not a good breed for apartment living. They require a lot of exercise, and you can expect a lot of drooling and shedding with this breed, however, if a super sweet disposition and loyalty are what you want in a dog, you cannot go wrong with the Newfoundland.
