Anyone feed their Newf once a day? I have tried it and see an improvement in her behavior during the day, feeding close to supper time. Just wondering if this could cause any problems with a newf's health. Any ideas?

Hello! Ella is now 19 months old, 105 lbs, and she started regurgitating water soon after she drinks large amounts. I didn't think to worry at first (maybe 3 weeks ago), but with google pointing at early signs of megaesophagus, just thought i'd ask here before going to the vet. It is not...

Hello, Just curious if any of you put their newfs to work in the winter. I have lots of snow in my area, and sled pulling or snow shoveling would be wonderful things that my newf could do for me, at least starting next year, she is only 1. Anyone have any ideas how my newf could even help me...

Are all newf puppies so high energy outside? Indoors, we have trained her to be fairly quiet, she gets to chew cow femurs and work some dog puzzles, but her exercise requirements have always been sooo high (reminds me of a lab..), and I am always scared of exercising too much because of the...

Ella the Snow Newf! She was born a year ago, had her since march, and she loved the snow as a tiny puppy! We've has some snow storms here recently, she will exercise herself a lot outside in the -10C (14F) weather, and in return I get the lazy indoor newf I want! she loves to pack down the snow...

I can do almost anything I want to Ella. She can be used as a pillow, I can reach my arm a good distance down her throat, grind her nails, anything I need to brush her anywhere and pull/cut mats, she doesn't mind. But when it comes to ear cleaning... she is a crazy little thing!! She allowed me...

Ella has had her first turkey neck today! It didn't take her very long to eat it, i saw her swallow a rather large piece at the end of it. She is now 9 months old and 83 Lbs. Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

Good morning, My female newf, Ella, 7 month old, has been treated twice-in-a-row for UTI. First course was a 10-day antibiotic, then about 5 days later she was on a 14-day antibiotics. While on medication she is fine, no symptoms. Both times they did a urinalysis to determine UTI. now, it has...

I was looking to get a 50 ft training lead (10$ on ebay), but was wondering on your opinion if this would be any useful for a newf or would it just break? I just want to be able to let my 5 month old "off leash" when at friends and family that don't have fenced yard. But I can't let her loose...

Hey guys, Training and socialization has been going great with my almost 5 month old puppy. We just went on a 6 hour car ride with her without issues or medications. She would wine only for going potty, an stayed calm for the trip. But one thing I am unsure of, and this only happens when we are...

My newf puppy decided that she should pull on her flat collar. I use it when taking the kids to the bus stop with the pup, when potty training to make sure she uses her designated spot, or short walks. She is 12 weeks old. When outside in the back yard today, she decided to dart to the back door...

Hello! Questions about training a newf puppy. Everyone seems to emphasize to not be too harsh while training a newfoundland puppy. So what exactly do you guys think is too harsh? I need something to emphasize the word "no". I have a 9 week old, my first Newf. Would clapping hands when saying...

Hey guys, first post here. I want to get a pool. I am renting, and I cant make any permanent changes to the property. I am wondering if this kind of pool would work for a Newfoundland dog. This particular one is 18 ft x 9 ft x 48 in. would the dog ruin it, and would I be able to get the dog...
