I recently became aware of a problem with the breeder I purchased from. I have been having behavior problems I have talked about on this site. I got a PM from someone asking where I got my dog from because in one of my messages I mentioned something the breeder said to me sounded like something that was said to this lady. This breeder said she had never had any behavior problems with her dogs, and seemed shocked that I would have any trouble. Turned out our dogs have the same father, and her dog she said was the single most vicious dog she had ever owned. This lady said the breeder couldn't believe them either. The breeder I bought from has MANY Newfies, should have been my red flag, but didn't know about Newf Net then, and was very unimformed. Some of the talk above of a breeder in the midwest makes me wonder if it is the same breeder.
My suggestion, is (and I know we can't mention kennel names here) to maybe try to PM some of the older members, more intelligent people than myself if you are thinking of buying a Newfie, it could save you alot of heartache down the road.
After the PM I received I wonder how many other dogs from this particular kennel are out there that people are having terrible problems with, due to someone who just keeps breeding a dog that evidently has offspring that can be mean.
