We have a distressing mystery on our hands. Last night, Brun started whining in the middle of the night, refusing to lay down. She hadn't eaten that night or pottied. She was still not herself in the morning, so we took her to an emergency vet - fearing a blockage or another serious reason...

I'm moving this summer with my three-year-old newfie, Brunhilde, to the DC metro area. I've started hunting for the perfect place to live - I'll be renting, so with 120 pounds of dog tagging along, I know I need to start early! I was hoping there might be some folks here who live in the area...

Brun has been struggling with itchiness and UTIs since this past December, and we've just had another flare-up - probably the 5th or 6th discrete incident this year. :( This time, I really thought we had things under control - she was on a limited ingredient lamb diet (Nature's Variety...

Brun and I recently moved to Columbus, Ohio so that I could take a new job. Though we're not new to Newfnet anymore, we are new to this area - any other Newfies nearby? Can't wait to meet you!

As the owner of a GROWING Newfoundland puppy, I have a few questions about sizes... Brun is 6 months old (and female) and weighs about 65 pounds. Her mother weighed 118 pounds before getting pregnant with Brun's litter. I'm shopping for a new crate - her crate is a "large dog" size: roughly...

Brunhilde has developed a decided preference for eating her food off the floor. I think I've mentioned this in a previous post when she had first arrived home and wasn't eating very much. This has been going on since then, but lately it has become more pronounced. Basically, when we feed...

I'm still learning to post photos directly to a thread, so for now, I will link to an album with photos of Brunhilde's first week at home. There is also a cute little video of Brunhilde getting her first teething bone - she wasn't sure what to do with it yet and spent a while barking at it...

Brunhilde has lately been showing disinterest in her kibble. She is eating Nutro Choice large breed puppy (she'll be switching to adult in at 12 weeks - she is currently 10.5 weeks old). We are following the same kibble choice and feeding routine that she had at the breeder's - 3.5 cups a...

Brunhilde just came to her new home on Sunday from a breeder in Ohio. She is living in South Bend, IN where she is LOVING the catastrophic snow fall. I can't say that I'm thrilled about potty training in the snow, but she sure is! Brunhilde is almost 11 weeks old and is already bringing so...

I am anticipating a puppy this spring and I would love to hear advice from other owners about how to go about grooming a Newfoundland yourself. I have experience grooming other types of dogs. I want to groom my own Newfoundland (minus one or two professional visits a year) because I believe...
