My name is Jason. My family is welcoming our first newfie puppy on december 21st. The breeder has been kind enough to hold on to her for us so that we can surprise our daughter at christmas time. Our puppy's call name will be Piper and we are very excited for this new addtion to our family. This will be my first dog as an adult. My last childhood dog, a black labrador named Magic, passed a few years ago at my mother's house. I still miss Magic and I still miss our first dog who passed when I was only 6 years old (Maxie the German Shorthair Pointer). I'm looking forward to our children learning of a dogs unconditional love just as I did as a child. We would appreciate any tips on training our newfie. Piper will be 14 weeks old when we bring her home. Happy Holidays everyone.
