    Help w/Wash stand plans

    Does anyone have the plans/dimensions for the wash stands that were commented on some time ago? Found some photos doing a search, but since this granny will be building this myself, I'd like some dimensions please.

    Dyson Tool Reviews

    For those of you who have purchased the new Dyson Groom Tool, please report in with your recommendations. Because it has slicker brush-type teeth and I don't use that type of brush, I'm wondering if it does a good job of removing loose hair and "Newfy dust" down to the skin?

    Thoughts on Housekeeping

    OK I've decided I can no longer stand to have off-white colored walls that need constant cleaning. I'm washing then painting the bottom 40" of the walls in my house a lovely "mocha" color to hide the Newfie drool and oily/dirt that my dogs deposit on the walls. Friends think I'm absolutely...

    New Rally Titlist

    We made it thru 3 days of competition this past weekend and I'm proud to announce that we received our 3 legs. Brinkley now has his RN. I'm hooked!! It was nerve wracking, fun, stressful and we had so much fun staying overnite in a motel. The judge dubbed him the "wild child" since he wanted...

    1st Trial

    We're entered in our 1st ever rally-o competition this weekend. Here's hoping we're ready. Brinkley is a high-energy boy and loves to work. This competition is all new and scary to me. Hope I don't blow it for us.

    Fastening crates in vehicles

    We're looking to buy a different Newfmobile for our two and have narrowed it down to either a Toyota Sienna or Honda Odyssey minivan. Am curious how to fasten down the crates to keep them secure inside the vehicle?

    Dog Yard Renovation

    I need some help from those of you who have won the battle of the muddy yard by putting down gravel. Out here in NW Oregon it's rainey all winter (except when we get an unexpected 20" snowfall) and very dry in summer. My dog yard is on the north side of the house and the dogs have even...

    How much play time?

    For those who have multiple Newfs, how much time and to what extent do you allow a puppy to play with older dog? Bailey is now 15 weeks old (38#) and Brinkley is 20 months and nearly 145#. So far as I allow them to play together I make Brinkley lie down and they play on the floor with lots of...

    Brinkley CGC

    Last nite my Brinkley, now 19 months, passed his CGC test. This was no easy task for this high-energy boy. I knew it was going to be an interesting session when we walked into the site and Brinkley greeted the evaluator, who owns the kennel we board at and whom Brinkley loves, with a...

    Water retrieving question

    Brinkley is now 15 months old and we've been working on retrieving in the field. He does a great job with "take it, hold, give" with his bumper, sticks and other items I toss for him. We've transitioned to some water work, (I don't have Judi Adler's book yet) he doesn't want to retrieve his...

    cyclone fencing

    We're looking to do more fencing around our house. Does anyone have any problem keeping their Newfs within a 4 ft high cyclone fence? Brinkley hasn't challenged the baby gates we use throughout the inside of the house. Thanks for your input.

    Energetic adolescent

    My Brinkley boy has now turned 9 months old and has entered his adolescent stage. I'm sure some of his naughty behavior is due to his "testosterone surge". Ugh!!!!! I can't seem to be able to tire him out. I'm home with him all day so he gets several long walks every day, even in the rain...

    Question for raw feeders

    I have been raw feeding my 20 week old pup for about 2 months now. The resources I have read (and I've done very much research) refer to 2-3% of estimated adult weight as a starting point for the amount to feed. My pup weighs 60# and is in good flesh--lean and beautiful. I am finding that I'm...

    Thank you NN

    I've been wandering around the forums and archives here for several months while we've been waiting for our furkid. I want to say a huge "thank you" for all the info. Too bad we didn't have the internet 30 years ago when we got our first Newfie boy. This place is like the "encyclopedia of...
