I am new to this forum and would like to say hello. I joined, as I assume many do, to continue my research into this breed, as we (my wife and I) are looking to obtain a new family member, a newfoundland puppy. We recently (October) lost one of our family Surrender, a 13 yr+ old Shepard/Rottweiler mix. My wife has expressed that she wants a Newf and so here I am. We have been reading and researching all winter. We are presently seeking to identify an honest breeder and arrange to purchase. During this process I came across this forum. FYI, we are located in VA, specifically Spotsylvania. I have a 6 year old Rottie/Lab mix that is the most fun loving goofy dog anyone has seen. He is totally social and just a blast. I have 5 acres of woods, cleared trails, and a fenced back "area" (1/4 acre plus) with a pool, ponds, a piano waterfall, 15' self-made Tree Ent sculpture, etc....(jakyle8701@flickr.com) Bottom line the pup we get will be spoiled and, well by now you all get the picture. Feel free to check out the "yard" at the site listed. So any wisdom, suggested breeder etc... all advise is welcome, that is why I joined this site.
