Hello everyone,
I stumbled on the forum while trying to find information about Newfoundlands. My husband and I want to get one but we're trying to learn everything we can first. I was hoping to learn how much it costs to have one (monthly expenses) to determine if we can afford one. I have had the pleasure of knowing several and I just fell in love at first site. Every bit of information I read makes me want one more and more. We have a 2 1/2 year old daughter and a 6 year old Glen of Imaal Terrier mix named Lucy. Lucy is a very lazy dog, perfect for my husband and our toddler but not perfect for me. I want a dog that I can go out and do things with, like take classes and go to dog parks. I would love to do agility (for fun, not competition), and Lucy is just so unmotivated and lazy. The only time she gets excited is if we take her on a car ride. Nevertheless, I have attended several obedience and behavior classes, including getting her CGC certified. I'm here to learn all the things from actual dog owners and hope to learn if we'll be able to afford one.
I look forward to getting to know all of you!
Shannon
