Hi guys you were all so helpful last week when I was asking your advice as to why she would not leave me alone. Well you experts were bang on. It's super super early so not getting my hopes up but it turns out I am pregnant. So we have a new type of test called the newf test. Just out if...

ok so Sula is our almost 2 yr old female newf. she has never been one for strokes or cuddles, just happy to be in the same room, however the last 2 days there has been a dramatic change. she has stuck to me like glue, whenever i sit on the sofa (which she is not allowed on) she jumps up next to...

Hi guys sorry havent posted for a while life has just been manic. Sula just had her first birthday before xmas and on the insistance of the kids we had a lovely party lol. i have never come across a family with young kids in the uk who have a newf but so far for us it has been the most amazing...

hi guys Sula is coming up to a year old now. i have been brushing her pretty much daily with the rake comb we have but no matter how much i brush it just keeps coming and coming. just wondering is there anything else i can do to get the hair out as it usually comes out all over the house. i...

hi guys we live in the uk, we go to training classes Sula is in a bit of a teenage stage and our walk is close to a busy road so i am thinking of getting a prong collar. the only make i can find in the uk is the herm sprenger, they seem to have brought a new one out called a neck tech. was...

Well Sula hit the 6month mark a few days ago. As most of you know I did tons of research on the breed and was quite nervous with having 2 young children aged 4 and 5 and I have seen a few posts here recently from people thinking about getting a newf. All of our family were unsure of what we...

Well we took Sula to her 1 st day of water training, she didn't do much but 2 of the trainers took her into the lake to see how she reacted. She wasn't too keen at 1 st but it was the pebbles she didn't like the feel of they put down a mat and she walked straight into the water, she was quite...

I suppose it was going to happen sooner or later but yesterday when we were in the garden a bird dropped something and before I could get to her whatever it was Sula ate it. through the night she had diahorrea in her cage and once again this morning, she hast been sick. have phoned the vets...

we were in the garden and I decided to practice her recall while I was sitting down ooops lol

So we took Sula to a river today, it went brill. She went plodding straight away quite happily she was obviously very happy, we had her on a 2 metre lead at all times, everything was fab then she got a burst of madness and dove into a deep bit, I cud see her legs doing the breast stroke type...

I have just been reading our local newspaper and there has been this new scheme set up in our area. Basically when people visit the doctor with anxiety or depression type symptoms, they are being offered as part of their treatment to go to our local dog rescue and walk a rescue dog, the theory...

Sula just keeping an eye on my 5yr old as shes not very well xxx

Hi guys I cant believe last week that I was posting that I was worried Sula (14 weeks) hasn't bonded with us. A few weeks ago my little boy was poorly when he was asleep she lay by him the whole time till he woke up. Today my 5 yr old daughter has tonsillitis, this time it's her asleep and once...

Well I wish I had waited one more day before my last post. Today we had our 1 st puppy class. I think I naively assumed that to have a strong bond Sula had to want me to cuddle her, I think this is because my 2 other dogs spend their life plonked on my knee. Today at puppy class there were...

Hi guys sorry I haven't posted for a while we've been so busy,Sula has just turned 13 weeks old, we all love her to bits, so far she's been pretty good, a bit of mouthing and the odd lake in the kitchen lol. As I say we love her to pieces, we have never had a big dog before. My question is...
