I just watched this clip and I thought it was one of the saddest and most disgusting things I'd ever seen, and as as an animal lover-and a human being-it just makes my blood boil that people can be so cruel. These peices of human filth should be ashamed of thenselves. Has anyone else seen this...

So, Oskar's just turned a year and weights in at a grand 102.6lbs and about 26.5-27 inches in height, it would seem that he's going to be a little man-which is fine by me. Just wondering if anyone else has small males and has anyones dog had a growth spurt-height and weight wise-after one year...

So,just wondering... I'd like some advice on desexing since we've both only had one male dog (our precious Ben) and he didn't live long enough for us to have him desexed. Oskar's now a year old and we're thinking about desexing him in the future, we just don't know when to do it? It seems...

Ok, so, just wondering who's tried both and which do you think is superior?

Just curious on what the deal is with these things? Some people seem to swear by them? So, what I'm wondering is, who uses them, what's the the correct way to use them and what's the proper way to fit one if you were to use one?

I know this has probably been done to death but could someone please give me an idea what the proper height and weight should be for a male at about 6.5 months? Oskar's 68.5 lbs and 24 inches at the withers at the moment and I just wanted to know if this was about "normal" for a dog his age? Thanx.

I'm confused about the issue of the raised food bowl during feeding vs feeding the dog from a bowl placed on the floor in regards to preventing/contributing to dogs developing bloat? Now I've read arguments for both sides and I'm confused, which is better, why and what do you all do? Thanks...

I've noticed over the last few days that our pup's front legs seem to be becoming slightly bent and that he's walking a little "low". He's not overweight (he's 17wks, 22.0 kilos and thin), he's not allowed to play rough with our girl (though admittedly sometimes he gets a couple of seconds in...

Hello all, I just had a few questions about the developmental stages a puppy goes through. I've read a lot of things about this recently and what I was wondering is, do Newfies, because of their size and slower growth, go through these periods at different times then, say, the average dog does...

Can anyone tell me if it's at all safe to give your dog/puppy fish oil supplements? I know that cod liver oil can be dangerous to dogs but what about plain fish oil? Thanks, Glen

I don't know if anyone's posted the story of "Gander" the Canadian war dog before but I've always thought this was a great (though sad)Newfie story so I've decided to post it for those that may not have heard it before. TRUE STORY OF “GANDER” THE NEWFOUNDLAND DOG AND MASCOT OF THE ROYAL RIFLES...

Just had a question about hip scores, as far as hip scores go, I was just wondering what an unexcebtable hip score in the parent dog would be that might make you reconsider a puppy from them? I hope that made sense... [ 12-28-2006, 08:04 PM: Message edited by: Newfie in Oz ]

I would just like to sincerely thank everyone that wrote us to express their condolences, understanding and helpful advice at what has been a very difficult time for us. Thank you all, you have helped us tremendously and though we are still very sad a Ben’s parting your words have definitely...

Our little boy Ben died suddenly yesterday and we’re extremely distraught. We always knew this awful day would come-he had aortic stenosis-but always hoped and prayed that it wouldn't. I guess what makes it worse is that he wasn't sick at all; I went out for an hour and came back to find that he...

I have a question, my girl gets these sores on her lower back every year around the beginning of summer (now). They start off as little mats of hair, and when you find one and pull apart the mat there's a sore underneath that weeps milky colored pus. I usually can't feel them underneath her fur...

Hello, I was just wondering if any of you have ever had problems with skin conditions in regards to your Newf's and if this breed is known as being one that suffers from such? My girl keeps getting skin rashes I guess you could call them. They begin as scabby little sores that she starts to...

I was just wondering if any of you had any helpfull advice on sending dogs by air overseas?

Just wondering is any of you have ever owned a Newfie/other dog that had this condition, how'd you deal with it, what was the out come, etc...?

My question is, if you have to give your Newf a proper bath, what would you recommend (shampoo, etc) given that from what I've always understood you shouldn't use soaps on your dog as it strips the natural oils, etc?

Just had to ask, is anyone else sick of the same comments you get day in, day out while walking your dog? Comments like"you could put a saddle on them", "that's not a dog, it's a horse", "I'd hate to see your food bill" or conversly " they must eat you out of house and home"? Or my personal...
