I don't know if anyone an help me with this but I do hope so. mulberry is getting very old and blind she is almost 10 which is very old for a newf in Europe. Rollo is three and a who,e male and is very close to Flurie our whole bitch. Roll is reallly aggressive to Mulberry and will try to stop...

I have only had girls before an Rollo is my first boy. He has just turned two and it is so hard to get him to eat. He was better at eating but has just gone off his food and his weight is dropping. I thought it might be that the bitch next door is on heat. I have tried chicken and sardines...

If you looked at the Rainbow Bridge recently you will know that we lost our lovely three year old Amelie on Monday. Also we know that the vet hospital think that Daisy our 18 month old will not be with us for long due to her severe heart problem - I am not being negative - she may last longer...

This total bundle of joy - never naughty always up for anything full of energy - I used to say she was like a rubber ball. The beautiful girl who my son taught to play rugby and would try to teach the other newfs when he was not there. Her love for us and for life was total and without...

Little Daisy went to have tests on her heart on Monday and the images show a huge tissue blockage and two leaking heart valves. At 18 months she has severe SAS. The hospital said that she will not make 'old bones' which is a gentle way of saying that we will not have her for long but I...

Amelie is now just coming up a year and she has good height and structure but she is really skinny. I know most of the time we all try to keep our newfs weight down but I would like her to fill out. I feed a good kibble feed with some meat to moisten just like the other dogs and she eats well...

My only experience is Black.............so would a choice for the next newf be better brown or landseer or is black really the best? Crispinbear and Mulberry(who is nearly 3)

Mulberry is now 27 months and she has a little bit of a problem. For the last week or so she smelt of pee so I washed her rear end and thought no more about it her winter fur is quite thick so it could be she is getting it off the ground when she squats --but for the last couple of days...

Mulberry has some very strange lumps on her head. They start like small long red thin things then they change to a milky coffee colour over about another day they swell to small pea size and then they go. She has two on the head and one on the muzzle. The Newf vet is on holiday this week and...

A breeder friend of mine has just lost 4 puppies from a litter of 14 with very low white blood cell counts. It is the Mother's second litter and her first litter (10 puppies) were all fine and at 15 months are super. The father is new to the kennel and it's his second litter there The first...

I would like to try training Mulberry to pull a cart as I really think that we would both enjoy it - she is a fast learner - not always things that I want her to learn!! She is 15 months is that too early? Is there a book or a website that I could go to? Where do I find a harness? Any...

I realised the other day that since Mulberry arrived we say different things like: - 'Oh my God that's disgusting' 'Quick get a towel' 'I think the dog has been sick on ................' 'It's only mud' 'S**t bl**dy dog' and recently to the insurance company 'Yes it was an antique chair and...

Mulberry is just a year and I sometimes think that she would love someone the same size to play with. I know that one newf plus one newf = at least 3 newfs in the effort sense but heart ruling head and all that on this special night if Santa left me a second newf bundle it would be brilliant...

I know that I have to take Mulberry - now 11 months to be spayed before her second season in January but the timing is a bit of an issue. She is a really active dog and if she were not able to go out for her squirrel chases two or three times a day I am not sure she would be that easy to live...

Mulberry is now 10 months and a very big girl and has been training beautifully. She is brilliant off the lead and she no longer jumps up or runs off with other dogs she has a sniff and comes when called. Indoors however is a whole new ball game and she hates me to go anywhere without her or...

Apologies if this is the wrong section to ask the question but it didn't seem to fit anywhere else. Mulberry is in season and seems very out of sorts. It says in my Newf book that it can last 22 days and we are at about day 10 since the discharge. She has become nocturnal and eats very little...

I met someone today and their Newf's coat was really very thick. He said that it became like that during the year after he was neutered. I have heard that this happens to spaniels sometimes but should you expect it with a newf? Crispinbear

I am interested to know at what age you should neuter a girl newfi or have a litter of pups. Not sure what I think at the moment but are their seasons very difficult to cope with? I would like to wait for a bit and make a decision when she is older. Crispinbear

Mulberry has been bitten on the nose by a cocker spaniel- no sympathy she sort of deserved it but that piece of her nose has turned pink - Has it happened to anyone before and do you think that it will turn back to a beautiful black? Crispinbear

I had the statistics in the post this morning from the Kennel Club and I can hardly believe that there are 1000 newfi puppies and for that matter newfi homes in the UK - we are a very small island with 60m people and about 30m households. If all the newfis live to say 10 years old that makes...
