    Waterproof aka stink proof collar suggestions

    Hi! With summer comes lots of swim time...and the stinkiest/smelliest of collars! Anyone have suggestions for a good waterproof collar that lasts? There are a lot of those plastic type ones and I'm curious if anyone uses them and has had any issues? Collar would be coming off and fur thoroughly...

    Neutering and options

    The time has come where it's in my boys best interest to have him neutered. Since I recently moved and am new to the area I called a number of vets yesterday to get some estimates and was surprised by the varrying prices ($120-700 just for the neuter alone!). I also got some different...

    Minneapolis recommendations

    Hi! Im going to be moving to Minneapolis in the next couple of weeks and was curious if anyone here is from the area or has experience with someone there and could recommend any vets, groomers and/or kennels. Where I currently live options are pretty limited, while in the twin cities it seems...

    Attention Out In Public

    Even though newfies aren't that common where I live, and mine is especially handsom, I still wasn't prepared for all the attention we get when taking him out. After having him over a year, I now know to expect all the questions, the points when he sticks his head out of the car window, and our...

    portable crate/Xpen

    I'm looking for either an Xpen or portable crate that I can use while at training class and for when we travel and not sure which would be better. We did try a pop-up crate made by Kong (XL) and while Baylor fit, he sure didn't have much stretching room. But I'm worried he would just push an...

    adoption questions

    I have been contacted by a family who heard I was looking for a newf with a 2 year old M Newfoundland they are looking to give up. I'm going to go meet him in a week or so, and know the basic stuff to watch for, but do any of you with adoption experience have any "must ask" questions? Anything...

    House; How Small is too Small?

    Mid-move and finally found a house for rent that allows pets over 25lbs and has a huge fenced yard(!)...BUT it is tiny at only 400 square feet! For one person the space is doable, but is it too small for me, the cat, and a newf? My thought is that the large fenced yard makes up for the lack of...

    Beginning Again

    After a long wait it has been discovered that the breeding I was to get a pup from did not take. I'm disappointed, but also knew this could happen. Due to this and other life events I am going to be moving out west sooner rather than later-so I think I will continue my searching to the west in...

    try this again

    So the litter I was going to get a puppy from? Its not happening. Even though I knew something like this could happen I'm bummed. I'm glad I didn't buy anything puppy related other than a book because that would make it harder if I had to see all the stuff around my house. Anyway the breeder...

    Hurry Up & Wait

    Sooo...I picked a breeder! :allg069: After hundreds of websites, a few strategic emails, even fewer phone calls, and 2 in-person visits I finally narrowed it down. Now comes the super fun part of waiting since the female isn't even pregnant yet! There are lots of cute/fluffy/hugable newfs that...

    OFA Clarification

    Hope this is the right place for this; I'm just checking to make sure I'm reading things right. Some of this health clearance stuff is hard to keep straight :) When looking at a dog on the OFA website if it says Cardiac is "Normal-Practitioner" that means they have NOT been evaluated as such by...

    Hi there!

    After 2 years of wanting a newf of my own, I am finally ready to take the plunge! I'm here to learn as much as possible before getting my pup, and to have a place to be involved once I get the new addition I am currently in the process of finding a good breeder, and thought I was totally ready...
