    Boy did I mess up

    A few years ago, after having lots of Newfs over the years, we decided we would like to breed. We obtained a female and male that were absolutely gorgeous from two different breeders but the female was unable to breed and we had her fixed. Now comes the problem. We did not want to neuter this...

    Afraid of the pool

    Mac is afraid to go into the pool. He just won't go in but you can tell he wants to. If we come near him by the pool he runs in afraid that we will make him go in. We took him to a lake and he ran right into it but was afraid to swim so would only go so far in before he'd turn back. Here is a...

    Harley is gone

    Harley came to us through Newf rescue at 2. He walked in, marked the curtains and couch and went in to the kitchen to eat directly out of a pot on the stove. He needed some direction and obedience and a lot of love. He got all of that and more. He would have been 11 this month but we had to...

    Will training help abused dog?

    Taste of the Wild and puppy

    When Mac first came we had a hard time finding a food that he could eat without runny poops. Taste of the Wild - Prairie was recommended and I was assured that it was an all stage food and would be fine for a puppy. He has done excellently on it, healthy, strong and great coat and solid poops...

    Mac

    Okay, I told you Mac was coming back in December and finally getting around to sharing some pics. At 5 months now he is about 80 pounds but definitely not fat. He is sooo much fun, smart - too smart, and learns very quickly. Zoe had pretty big fear issues outside that I talked about in...

    Fear issue

    I mentioned this in the welcome page but thought I should move it here. Zoe came from a breeder last year full of life (hence the name). She was a confident, intelligent, loving puppy and then was badly frightened by a ladder in the yard during her fear imprint stage. I am trying to help her...

    Hello from Phoenix

    Hi. I have been reading the threads and thought it only right that I introduce myself rather than lurking about in the background. We have soon to be three Newfs. Harley is 9 1/2, Zoe is 15 months and Mac is coming on the 29th and will be 8 weeks. Our Sheba passed last year at 9 1/2 and we...
