They are very loving and do well with children of all ages. While they are not very high-energy, Golden Newfies do require regular exercise. They benefit from a long brisk walk every day, as well as plenty of opportunities to run and chase. While they are not particularly playful, they do enjoy playing outside. While the Golden Newfie is a great pet for families with children, they are not well-suited to very active households. They are generally calm and easy-going, but they can be nervous and anxious when left alone.
