Can a Newfoundland live comfortably in California's hot climate?

Question

Hi! I was thinking of getting a Newfoundland. But being from the Central Valley in California I do have some concerns with weather. Would living here be okay to have a Newfoundland with our climate? I ultimately don’t want to make the dog miserable.

You could have a Newfie in California, but you have to take precautions. Make sure on hot days the dog is inside with air conditioning, or next to a fan in a cool dark room. Do not go for long walks or exercise on hot days. Keep the walks short so the dog can go potty, and do the walks early in the morning and later in the evening when it's cooler. Always make sure there is plenty of fresh cool water for them to drink.
