We had a great storm today and the boys had a lot of fun. When it was time to come in, not so much fun. Murphy has really long fur and had balls of snow covering his whole underside. Any tricks for minimizing this or getting them off easier. I tried combing, pulling with bare hands, and using a...

Saw this guy on Craigslist, not sure if he still needs a home. http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/pet/2058125942.html Maybe someone could offer rescue info to his owner? Says $500.00 rehome, so it probably wouldn't help, but it's worth a try.

I just got my K9III today and it runs much hotter than I expected. I was using a less powerful blower that was barely warm. Bailey has environmental allergies and I bathe him at least once a week. I love the power of the K9, but worry it will dry his skin out causing even more itching. I was...

accidental post

What do you do to save drying time? I use the blower for the dripping water, then towel dry as much as possible, then back to the blower until completely dry. I would like to know if there's a more efficient way of getting the job done. Any tips will be welcome.

Could use some advice if anybody has some. Our now 15 week old puppy has begun to show food aggression. It only happens with raw pieces of food. He passes bones back and forth with Bailey and lets us take them. We can put our hands in his bowl with no problem. Give him a raw piece of chicken and...

Our new puppy Murphy has very long floofy fur, much more so than Bailey's was. Do you think his adult coat will also be thick and long? For those of you with Newfs who have longer and thicker coats than most, was their puppy coat the same?

I would like to introduce Murphy. The pictures aren't the best because he wiggles all the time. Hopefully I will have better pics soon. Bailey is thrilled to have someone to play with. The cats can't believe I had the nerve to bring home another drooling, slobbering thing to chase them. .

Had allergy test done for Bailey. He is allergic to Chicken, fish, and lamb. Does anybody know of a food that does not contain any of these? I am trying to research the higher quality foods, but they all seem to have one these. He tested high for lamb and fish and low for chicken. Could I...

While walking Bailey on our property I notice a pair of ducks in our pond. I was too busy looking at them to watch my step and walked into a sunken part of the ground and twisted my ankle. Down I went and where was my newfy? Running in the opposite direction. Did my fall scare him? Nope, he saw...

Same Newf up again. Can someone try to help him out? http://albany.craigslist.org/pet/1611471222.html

There is an 8 year old newfy on Craigslist for rehoming. I don't know how to post a link. I sent a message to this person last week asking them to contact a rescue, but I guess I wasn't persuasive. Anybody else care to try?

Think I finally got the hang of posting pics. Let's see. Our first Newf, Mr. Bear. Gone since Sept. Bailey

My Bailey turned 6 months old on Feb. 2. There are few dog parks around this area and the two that I do go to have a rule that ALL dogs over 6 months be spayed/neutered. Do all dog parks have this rule? I understand the reasoning behind the rule but, because of what I have read here about early...

Reading Peter Maniate's website he talks about trying to add to the current average lifespan of Newfs. I wonder how other breeders would feel if I asked the average lifespan of their breeding lines. Would it in some way be insulting or off putting? I don't mean that I expect breeders here to...

What size crate are you using for grown or nearly grown newfs? My first newfie didn't need to be crated when he was big as there just always seemed to be someone around. Life is different now and Bailey may still need to be crated to be left alone. The largest crate I can find online is 54"...

Think I already know the answer to this, but thought I'd ask anyway. I went to see a Newfy that is being rehomed and things did not go well. It wasn't under the best conditions and that may be the problem. Both dogs were on leashes, in her neighbors yard. No fenced area to go to. She was...

The threads about blower/dryers have me convinced they are a good investment. With my last newf I used to use a paddle brush at the door to pull out leaves and such. What a pain! I'd hate to spend alot of money and not be able to use it though. So, how do you convince your puppy to be...

I have another question. My puppy is a male and after the things I have read on this site about neutering I intend to wait unless he just becomes unmanageable. When we get another puppy it will most likely be a male. If they are close in age will the fact that they are intact be a problem? I...
