    Advice on Newfs with kiddos

    Hi all, Hope everyone is well. I am 6 months pregnant with our first child. Hemingway (2 years old) has always loved kids and has spent time around them but does not know how to play gently with them or be gentle around them. If they have a frisbee, he will try to steal it from them with his...

    stinky spot in jowl fold. nothing works. help.

    Over the last 6 months, we've been experiencing a new development with our boy. We initially thought it was from eating snow, but now that they snow is gone, we know better. Hemi has a spot on his jowls...both sides...that is concealed when his mouth is closed and sits behind a fold. In that...

    where to buy carts/plans for building one

    We've decided to look into some light carting work with Hemingway, as he has quite the "worker" mentality. My husband is interested in building the cart (while I'd rather buy one:rolleyes:) Anyone know of any helpful sources for getting this ball rolling? Thanks, and hope everyone is well. ps...

    raw experts, I know you're out there...

    (Wasn't sure how many views this would get on the feeding page, so I'm posting here, forgive me.) Hi!! Ok, want to make the transition to raw finally. Going with Bravo. I was told a "cold switch" to raw is the best thing because they metabolize raw and dry food differently, and feeding them...

    Protective Newfie?

    Hi Everybody. :) Just curious... As Hemingway has matured, he's become more protective of me, particularly when my husband is working late. He is more alert and barks at just about any sound he thinks he hears, and charges to the front windows to check it out. Then, when it's bedtime, instead...

    need your opinion.

    let's say you buy a puppy from a reputable breeder. let's say said puppy needs surgery on his elbows for FMCP at 10 months, and is diagnosed with elbow dysplasia with moderate changes. Fast forward 8 months, said puppy is then diagnosed with moderate hip dysplasia, worse on one side, and will...

    Hemi (& I) need your good vibes today....

    Hemingway is being neutered and having the gastropexy procedure today. He is going to do well, but I am a nervous nellie!!! He will be up near Hartford an hour and a half away from me overnight. Bringing him to a Veterinary office where they are very familiar with newfs and the vet tech who will...

    update...it DOES get better!!

    Someone recently reached out to me because one of the threads I started about Hemingway's crazy, out of control, rabid "episodes" sounded just like her puppy. And she wanted reassurance that Hemingway had grown out of it and therefore so would her pup. And I got to thinking....I haven't...

    hurt....but where?

    Hi guys. We had a long night. Hemingway hurt himself, possibly while trying to pull himself up onto our stone wall to get to a neighbor's dog. The trouble is, we have NO idea WHERE he could be hurt. But we know he is because when he lies down, or tries to get up, he lets out a yelp....every...

    benefits to registering with AKC?

    We have the form that we got from the breeder the day we picked Hemi up. But we never sent it in. I was just curious if there are any benefits to registering him with the AKC finally? Thanks :)

    ...are newfies smart...?

    ...are newfies smart... I met a man walking a Newfie in Vail, Colorado a few years ago. I didn't have Hemingway yet, but my husband and I were crazy about the breed, so of course we stalked this man until he let us meet his dog. He proceeded to say, "Newfies are just ok. I'll never own another...

    Keeping Newfs busy on HOT summer days

    Today is, appropriately, the hottest day we've had so far...heat index nearing 100-105 degrees. It's BRUTAL!! Hemi loves his outdoor time but even in the shade it's not safe. I picked up a few bully sticks, a new tug toy, and two new inserts for his treat ball (you know- the disc shaped treat...

    which photo server is best?

    I use fototime but they want me to upgrade my account a.k.a spend money in order to be able to attach larger pictures. Was wondering if the other options allow this without $$? Thanks!

    launching from docks, rocks, etc...

    Morning! Just curious if you can train a Newf to "launch" or jump off of docks into a lake. Hemi, thus far, has been a wader. He seems to prefer a gentle slope to walk into until he's deep enough to swim. But I know there are some newfs out there who love to leap into bodies of water from...

    quick note...

    Just a quick note to say, Sorry pipelineozzy (Cindy) for being so defensive on the neutering post and saying some hurtful things. I can see why some of you may think I am a negative-nelly when it comes to my Hemi and Newfs in general. The truth is, yes, we've had quite a few frustrating times...

    marking and neutering. your experience?

    Hemingway will be neutered in August when he is 18 months old. He has already picked up the annoying habit of marking everything...even when his tank is empty. In your experience with male newfs, has this habit lessened post-snip? thanks.

    back to basics here. *sigh*

    well, the new freedom of having a fenced in yard has brought out Hemingway's ugly side. It goes something like this: he's getting into something I don't want him to, or digging, or barking at a neighbor. I go grab him by the collar to bring him away from whatever is sparking his interest, he...
