Hi, I'm located in the Los Angeles area and spotted this Newf mix puppy at the pound. I contacted the local branch of Newf Rescue but since he is a mix, I thought I would post here and if you all could forward it to anyone who could help I would appreciate it! I do not know if they will take a...

Does anyone know anything about Newfs as service dogs? I read the past articles in NewfTide on it, but does anyone know anything more? Stories, websites, etc.... Thoughts, opinions, concerns... Thanks! Best, Caroline

Yep, Teddy is afraid of men. He goes running the other way when my boyfriend or brother or any guy comes over. In the beginning he actually growled when guys would approach him (when they got him cornered), I stopped that in a hurry and he no longer growls. It was not aggressive, more like...

Yep, that about sums up my "beautiful" boy. So, in the three weeks I've had Teddy, I've been feeding him good food, skin & coat supplements, and there's only been a slight improvement. Any tips? P.S. What does a "healthy" puppy coat look like? Can it be shiny too? I mean, right now he...

Hope that's not an offensive subject line or at least not as offensive as Teddy's "messes"! How long after one switches foods does the stool start to "normalize"? It's been about two weeks and they still are soft and smelly. I'm feeding Innova... I guess this is the whole bit about how it...

Well... we have moved into our nice new BIG apartment with a fenced yard! The dogs and I couldn't be happier. As for the landlord... he is singing a different tune now that I have moved in, even though I have dogs written into my lease and a very hefty deposit as well ($2000). Last night was...

Hi all, Curious about Teddy's weight. They think he's about 14 weeks but he only weighs 25 lbs and it's the right weight for him, he's not underweight at all and is a regular chunk. As far as I can tell Newf puppies should weigh at least 30 lbs at 3 mos? ...So is this really under for a Newf...

Hi all! I just wanted to let everyone know that I have adopted Teddy! After meeting with someone from NCSC we've concluded that he appears to be all Newf-- of course you don't know what you get until they're all grown up but at any rate he is the sweetest puppy ever and if he doesn't have...

Hi all, Again thanks to everyone for being so helpful and friendly. After much searching it looks like Teddy might be the one for me! The one thing I am concerned about is that he may or may not be purebred, won't really know until he grows up, so does that mean I can't get an ILP no. for...

http://home.att.net/~wdcusick/dogfoodrepe-mail.html This was entertaining. William D. Cusick, "The Animal Advocate," has an interesting website where he talks about his book and how you should feed your dogs breed-specifically. That is, certain breeds should be fed certain foods because of...

I think that this article will be very interesting for most of you... all about large- and giant-breed puppy growth, feeding, protein/fat levels, supplements, etc. etc. etc. ad infinitum. It's a research article: ""Relationship of Nutrition to Developmental Skeletal Disease in Young Dogs" for...

Hi, I am thinking about rescuing a Newf/Lab mix puppy and so have been doing a lot of research and lurking to learn about the breed. This is my first time posting. What I am wondering is what does a typical Newf puppy weigh, look like, etc., at 12 wks? I really wanted to rescue a Newf...
