Hello all! I'm looking into buying a newfoundland in the next few years (Though I am considering other similar breeds, so please feel free to tell me if you think I'm not suitable for the newfoundland, I won't be offended!) I'm a SAHW, so the newfoundland puppy should really only be home alone for three hours or so, given I'm even running errands that day. Me and my husband have no children, but do plan on having children in the nearish future, probably when the newf is a young adult. My husband is over the moon (He actually brought it up and left me in charge since I know how to spot a reputable and an otherwise not so reputable breeder.) My husband is in the navy so as you can imagine, we'll always be pretty close to the water, and we're both young and active. I plan on getting other dogs as well, such as a German Shepherd (I'm terrified of being home alone for when he's on deployments so I need a dog I feel confident will guard me, plus a running buddy and someone who's as high energy as I am. I'm aware a Newfoundland will be a VERY big change of pace.) Both dogs will be indoor dogs absolutely, though there will be access to the outdoors and proper exercise for their various mental and physical needs.
Now that you've assessed my general state, please feel free to tell me which newfoundland breeder you got your newfie from if you think we're a good match for a newfie, and if you think otherwise, please let us know why so we can look for another breed, or even suggest a different breed for us! Thanks you in advanced.
