Less than three weeks ago my wife met me at the door to tell me she found a dog. Not a specific dog, but a breed of dog she felt best fit our lifestyle. As you have guessed, it was a Newf
Not knowing much about the breed, and having never seen one in person, we hit the Internet hard (even finding this place)looking for information. We fell in love (on paper) but still hadn't met one of these beautiful animals. Through our vet we contacted a newf owner in the area, and to make a long story short, last Wednesday our family was NEWFed
for the first time. Bennett (my wife) our two boys, Parker (4 1/2) and Rafe (3mo)and myself now talk about WHEN we get our newf rather than IF we get one.
For now I will have to settle for a good book on the breed if someone will direct me to one they have found helpful. Also,I have e-mailed one breeder whom I will be meeting in the near future but would like to meet others if anyone knows of any in WA, ID, OR, or MT send them to my e-mail. Lastly, how do I survive these months while waiting for a newf.
I will be checking back often for additional advice, laughs, and new friends. Thanks GAD for the site.
