    Need help with leash training

    I'm having problems with our newfs on-leash, they're getting better, but it seems like such a long tedious process. Bava is 1.5 years old and Sophie is 1 year old. We hava a border collie mix who is wonderful on leash, he picked it up right away, my previous dogs "got it", but somehow...

    You have got to see this!!

    I know this is another board and all, but this is a great story and series of pictures from someone's hike this week. I don't believe he is on Newf.Net though, so you'd prob have to look @ them on this other board. You might have to register to see the pictures, but I am not sure...

    Do Newfs pull more than other breeds?

    I am just curious of other's experiences, but was wondering since part of the job Newfoundlands were bred for is to be draught dogs, if they have something in their genes that predisposes them to pull a bit more than some other breeds. Maybe it just seems they pull more because they are so...

    Movement at Show

    Admittedly I have not been to a lot of dog shows, and never paid that close attention. But yesterday at a show I was shocked at how some of the big dogs moved. In the St. Bernards, there were 2 dogs that moved just horribly, one obviously had hip problems, he moved with his back legs straight...

    Evaluating for HD

    Bava our Newf has just turned 6 months old last week. He has had a funny gate for about 2 months now in his rear legs. When he trots he looks great, but when he slows down he seems to drag his feet more than I think he should. His nails will even scrape on some steps. He did sway a bit and...

    Normal puppy behavior (Is this?)

    Bava is our first newfoundland and has been with us for almost 2 weeks now. He is approx 13 weeks old. Our previous dogs were a shetland sheepdog and a labrador retriever. Maybe I'm just not used to how a newf should act, but he acts so completely different than any other pup I've had. He...

    New Little Guy - Bava

    We picked up our little fellow on Friday. He is 3 months old. Our vet gave him a clean bill of health, which I wasn't suprised about one bit. The breeder really loves her dogs and cares about the breed a lot. I'm amazed at how laid back and well-behaved he his so far. He's house trained, no...
