After numerous long talks with each other, tons of reading and talking to many people and vets, and looking at the time we can devote to his recovery based on our work/home schedules, my husband and I have decided to have the TPLO surgery for Figaro. It truly was a hard decision to make with...

ACL Rupture Wondering if anyone has had experience with a more holistic approach to repairing an ruptured ACL without surgery? I've read a few responses but would love to hear more about this approach. A few of you have suggested this and I'm really intrigued. If I can avoid the expense, trauma...

Hi everyone, We finally got an answer with regards to Figaro's limp. A friend of mine, who heads up a therapy group involving dogs, had two different vets check Fig out tonight--independantly of one another. Each diagnosed him within 30 seconds...a ruptured ACL.:darn: I'm so discouraged. My...

Figaro (age 3), has us really confused! We took our annual trip to Cape Cod and within a day at the beach, he started acting as if his paws were sore. Despite checking the sand (it wasn't too hot) this kept up. We put socks on his paws and things improved but when we got home, Fig seemed...

Hi everyone! I haven't been on in a while...took a vacation and headed to Cape Cod for a bit. So nice to see all the great photos! The boys participated in a fundraiser for Autism recently. They really helped collect so much money and drew lots of attention. They donned their T-shirts and hit...

Every year my husband and I rent a cottage close to his family on Cape Cod. Figaro has always gone with us...after all, it's just not a vacation without him along, too! This year though, we'd like to go for two weeks, and we now have the puppy as well. We've been asked to do several really fun...

Took some pictures of "our little rescue." (My 16 year old decided to pick him up.) Newton still appears to be all Newfy to me, but maintains much of the dull puppy fur (a mixture of black and deep brown), though smooth black fur seems to be forming on his legs and face. He's almost 6 mos. old...

I was told by my vet that it's time to consider getting my five month old male pup "fixed." (I struggle with the word neuter and castration!!) I've read some people wait far longer, but my vet said the perfect time is between four and six months. We don't know the little guy's background at all...

More questions on my little guy (the pound rescue) who is now approximately 5 months old and 50 lbs. He's doing well, but I noticed that he had an "extra" set of claws on both his front and back legs. I've heard that if pups have dew claws on both the front and back it could be a result of a...

Well, I know Spring has finally reached Ohio--thank goodness! I thought you all would appreciate this. (That was just one grooming session from just one dog! To give you an idea of the size of this lovely pile of hair, the pillow in back is the size that fits in the big Pier 1 round...

I wanted to share some pictures with all of you from our most recent Newf get together. It was a combination celebration: a puppy shower for Newton :lol: and a birthday celebration for Rosie:allg069:, one of the beautiful Landseers of our group. We had 15 Newfs together at once and NO problems...

Hi everyone, Thank you for all the nice replies to my message regarding my puppy Newton. I think I've figured out how to upload pictures so now you can actually "see" my guys. I share my life with two Newfs: Figaro is 3 years old and the greatest guy you could ever imagine. Newton is our pound...

I recently rescued a 10 week boy from the pound. He appears to be all Newf, is about 4 months old now and weighs about 40 lbs. His temperment is true Newf...laid back even as a puppy. His fur though is different. It's soft but dull and gray in appearance. His legs and tail though, seem to be...

I'm new here and wanted to say hi. I have two Newfs. Figaro is our gorgeous three year old and Newton is our 4 month old unexpected rescue from the local pound. I'm new to puppies and certainly don't know much about Newfie puppies, but we're having so much fun with them! They're beautiful, laid...
