newfoundland
Canis familiaris, the same as every other breed of domestic dog.
The 'scientific name' for a species is actually its name according to the Binomial system for classifying all life. Every species is classified by Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, genus and species, and sometimes sub-species. All animals belong to the Kingdom Animalia (as opposed to the plant kingdom) and all vertebrates belong to the phylum Chordata, and all mammals belong to the Class Mammalia. All carnivores belong to the order Carnivora, and all dogs to the family canidae. Dogs are of the genus Canis, and domestic dogs are further classed into the order Canis familiaris, as opposed to wild dogs such as wolves which are Canis lupus, or foxes which are Canis vulpis.

As I said, all dog breeds are merely part of the 'Canis famliaris' so there is no 'scientific name' to further classify individual breeds.
