    I seen pics on NN of Newfies in sprinklers....None of the Newfies I live with or associate with will tolerate a sprinkler or being sprayed by a hose. They will swim in pools, ponds, lakes and rivers but I will get the "I know where you sleep" look if I grab the hose....what gives? (Mind...

    Frontline Allergy?

    I used Frontline on all of the dogs 2 weeks ago and noticed last night a huge scabby area on back of my Koda's neck where the Frontline was applied. I checked the rest of her body and found nothing. I called our Vet and he had never heard/seen anything like this from Frontline but assumed it...

    \dog

    I have 4 dogs...2 are Newfies, the other 2 are Lab mixes. I have one over weight Lab(Shelby) and 1 underweight Newfie (Koda). My underweight doesnt have any interest in eating so if I buy the premium dog food the Labs eat it and believe me theoy do not need anymore weight.

    Flooring

    I have to laugh, I've noticed that 90 percent of us Newf lovers have hard floors (tile, linoleum, wood, etc), coincidence? I don't think so! Don't you love how all their extra hair that the dogs don't want anymore ends up along the edge of the wall?! That just doesn't happen with carpet.

    Allergies - Ear infections

    Does anyone have a good Ear Infection remedy that does not involve Antibiotics? Short story long....My boy Newf has an allergy to Fleas, he is on Frontline but Frontline does not repel....so any flea that bites sends him into a Fury with ear infections (I finally got the hot spots under...
