Blacknewfs
New member
We have been doing some research and are aware of their escape artist tendencies. Also, they tend to have extremely high prey drive and are generally terrible with cats, very high energy, can be rather vocal, shed worse than Newfs, and are rather stubborn! We are getting a lot of applications for them already, and the majority of the families already have experience with the breed, so that helps.
We are on the alert watching for people who want them as sled dogs primarily, rather than pets and members of the family. There are several sled dog teams up here that spend their lives tied out with little interaction with humans except for when they are being worked. Not the life we want for any of these pups. These pups will be family members first and foremost....with sledding used as exercise and recreation.
