From what is known there is no pyr in the newf background.  

You haven't seen playing in water until you've had a newf.  

I've researched the leo and they're a versatile breed.....if I decide 
not to get another pyr in the future I've been looking at a leo.  They 
have water titles based on the same rules as the newf water titles.  
Also, known to do draft, agility, obedience, therapy dog.........  One 
of our newf club members has newfs and leonbergers and our newf 
club also had the 1st leonberger water test.  They're not recognized 
by AKC and don't want to be recognized by AKC but are 
recognized by UKC.
