    think i need to find a new home for newf...

    I currently have 2 newfs and live in Anchorage, AK. Oskar, the black one has always been a little neurotic (i.e. chewing tennis balls compulsively, pacing, just generally nervous) and a little aloof (isn't always right up in your face to be petted but likes to be in the same room as us) Carter...

    Next step for limping newf???

    Our almost 2 year old newf started limping about 2 months ago. It seemed to come and go and never seemed to really bother him. He seemed to limp worse after playing outside with his brother but it would go away. We could move all his joints without cries or pulling away, pressure along the...

    Can our Newfs swim now?

    We have 2 10 1/2 old males and live up here in Minneapolis. It is relatively nice out today and live near open water and was wondering if it would be ok to take them swimming in the fridged temps? They both are very strong swimmers and we swim at this place all the time in the summer. Thanks...

    What would be reasons...

    We have a 9 1/2 month old Newf that eats roughly 4-6 cups a day of wet mixed with dry Canidea ALS. Nothing new has been introduced in his life that would be of any suspicion and our guy is very lethargic. What would be the cause of this... He kind of mopes around, lays down more than before...

    First winter with our newfs...

    This is our first winter with our two fellas. Almost 9 months old they love being outside in the snow however they get these hardened snow ball attaching like thingies on their paws. Sometimes they get them between their pads and sometimes they just attach to their fur around their pads. Both...

    newf that went crazy

    We are new to the world of newfoundlands and have ran into something very strange. On Sunday, we clipped our newfs nails. All went well...not scared, no blood, etc. After that was done, the 5 month old puppies played in the house like usual, eventually went outside, came back in no problem...

    We are proud new owners of two Newfoundland pupps (1 black, Oskar and 1 brown, Carter)and have been feeding Science Diet Large Breed Puppy food (gasp) for about a month to 16 week old pupps. I have recently learned that this might not be the best choice of food for our dogs. I have done a...
