Newfies

Any Newfie lovers out there? I have a 4 month old brown girl, Sienna. She is a dream!! Love her!

I absolutely LOVE Newfies! I want one so bad, but my parents say they are too hairy. I am gong to have one one day though!

Hairy! Not as bad as say....a Husky. Slobber and drool...they are definitely that!! Newfies are the best dog you will ever own...this is my second.

They are beautiful, but after being a winner at westminster, I hope they dont get terribly and irresponsibly overbred. All shelters need are more big black dogs....

^True. I don't think everyone is right for this kind of dog. People really need to research the kind of pet they are getting.

I absolutely agree. This is my second Newfie...Yogi...my first had severe hip-dysplasia. I didn't buy from a reputable dealer. I bought Yogi out of the newspaper. Naturally, he was my baby and $3000 later (I paid $1500 for him) and going through the heartache of seeing this poor guy go through surgery...tough. The coolest thing was to eventually see him romp and roam. Newfies love the water, slobber and generally make your house a mud-pit, but I love them anyway. Newfies are expensive, but well worth every penny. Sienna my little girl I hope will become a therapy dog...Newfies usually have the sweetest disposition. Sienna at the moment is almost 5 months and going through the rambunctious stage. She cracks me up...but I have to be careful because in about 5-7 months she will outweigh me and she needs to know that Mama is the boss!

By the way, Pouch Cove Newfies are awesome. The Westminster winner was a Pouch Cove - Peggy Helming does a fabulous job!

Another Newfie lover here. One of my friends has three, and they all have such lovely temperaments.

They really are sweet...I work at a dog day care, and we had one come in for a bath one time. The other dogs had never seem one of their own that was so big, and they didn't know what to make of him! He kept right on trying to make friends, though!

I've wanted a newfie for three years. My ex-husband wouldn't let me have one. I'm now on my own. I thought I would be getting one on July 7, 2004. I was ready to sign the contract when my dentist gave me bad news. The money I had for the newfie is going to pay the bills.

Please pray for me. I'm going to put down my 15 year old beagle the first week of August. She has been through everything with me. She has had a good life and her kidneys are now failing. I thought I would have the newfie to distract me. My boyfriend is a fireman and is going a lot. I will have a lot of time by my self.



I'm still looking around for a breeder. I live in Maryland, USA. I've been looking at the Pouch Cove they are charging? I'm sure it's a lot but it sounds like they are healthy dogs and that’s what counts.

Newfies. Do you know how much

My boyfriend put down his black lab in May. I miss having a big dog (I also had two in my life time). I'm sure the newfie would be the companion I'm

I'm so sorry to hear about your beagle. I know how hard it is to lose an animal friend. I will pray for you. I hope everything comes out okay with your bills and stuff.
