Just joined the Newf Net and am excited to get to know fellow Newf owners. My son has two Newfoundlands and asked me to go to the shelter to adopt a Newf that he saw came in. We did and fell in love with the breed. We named him Murphy. Unfortuneately, someone severely abused Murphy and after three years and his third bite we had to put him down. We went to obedience training and had people over, tried to desensitize him, nothing worked. We could not allow people to walk into the yard. I never cried so hard.
So I bought two pups and named them Calvin and Hobbes. They will be 2 on April 15th. They hear about Murphy all the time and hear how much I loved him but I also love them to death.
How anybody could ever beat a Newf is beyond me and everytime I think what they had to do to Murphy to get him to that point, still brings tears to my eyes. I loved that Dog! Calvin and Hobbes fills my void. Takes two to replace my Murphy. They are sweeties. My husband says if I raised my kids like I raise my dogs I would have deliquents!!! :kgo_027:
