hi there...looking for some advice from folks..Sasmon, who is 7 has been listless all day...went for a walk this am and he started whining when he went to the bathroom and then he just stood there...finally walked home and did not move all day---has not eaten or drank...he sits with his head...

Does anyone have any experience or advice about helping Newf overcome fears? Samson has always come to work with me, and a few weeks he slid on the floor on the way to my office. He did not fall but he did get scared. That night I trimmed the hair near his pads, poor guy it was like he had...

Hi everyone, Sorry once again I am posting a gloomy topic--it seems I run to Newf net every time I get worried about Samson, but never share the good times. I have been to vet countless time in Samson’s short 8 month life always complaining of vomiting, low or no appetite, diarrhea, and...

I am looking for guidance and would love it if people would share their experience--our dog does not like to eat dog food. We settle on a brand and he eats for a bit and then stops. We feed him a holistic food now that we feel good feeding him—but still he has no interest. When he was injured...

I can't believe--I have the rare Newf (Samson) who does not like to eat. Thanks to the suggestions from this forumI have switched his food to a holistic food that I feel good feeding him--but like all things we have tried he has lost interest. Is it okay to cook some chicken or beef and grind...

Has anyone ever had to protect themselves or their dog? Last week Samson was attacked by a pit bull—it was terrifying—he came out of nowhere and just lunged at Sam and hooked on to his jaw. Thank god Steve had him and not me—because he was able to remove the pit bull with the help of his fist...

This morning around 1:00 am Samson (7 months) got terribly upset. He started whining, was half caught under our bed and could not get up and was really upset. I brought him out and he sat in the driveway for an hour with his head on my shoulder—but no playing or going to the bathroom—not his...

I am getting married this July and I am looking for a Newfie cake topper to put on our wedding cake. We wanted to put the Newfie on the bottom, looking up at the two of us on top. I know kind of silly, but it would be a good representation of our little family. Since you are all so...

:mad: I know there have been discussions about biting, and other "naughty" behavior--but does anyone have experience with a pup that just goes wacky each night? From about 9:00p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Samson is like a puppy possessed. He bites, (hard) runs in circles, barks, etc... Then he just...

Hello everyone this is my first post. My pup's name is Samson and his brother is Murphy, (Martha's Vineyard Newf) we live in Albany, NY. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting a pup to walk on a leash? He is great off leash--I bring him to work with me and he walks right next to me--but...
