They are supposed to drool and they’re included as one of the top 10 iconic dog breeds that drool. It’s a breed trait. Some drool more than others. Some can make drool jewelry while some can barely manage to spit out a tiny string. There is no such thing as a DRY MOUTHED Newfoundland. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying and if they’re a breeder...
Newfoundlands are the most loving and devoted breed that there is. Their heart is as big as their massive body and most would never harm a fly. But I think Gentle Giant is a deceiving term, at least for their first few years. More people than not become very concerned that their 18-month Newfie is broken because teenage Newfies can be a lot to hand...
Got money? You’re going to need it. I’m not just talking about chump change. I’m talking about college savings. I’ve been there and failed. I thought I was prepared. I was not. I had enough cash to cover the routine care and a few unexpected health problemsbut I did NOT have the cash for a major medical crisis. Newfies are double, if not triple the...

What’s better than one Newfie? Two! Sure you can have just one for a little bit but eventually, you’ll get the Newfie fever. In my first round, I had one. Second round two. Double the fun. Double the money. Double the work. Double the love. You’ve been Newfed and there’s no going back now.
The Newfoundland is a working dog. They are not couch potatoes but they can easily turn into couch potatoes if you let them. Newfs need daily exercise. Walks, hikes, saving lives, swimming, carting…etc. They will sleepall day if you let them. Don’t. And don’t forget about exercising their brain. Remember they are an intelligent breed and their mind...
Look, Newfies like to eat but they don’t require 10 cups of food a day. Sure giant breeds eat more than a Miniature Poodle but not much more than a Lab. If you’re feeding a high-quality diet, quantity isn’t always better. Newfies should be kept at an ideal weight. Some people are shocked that my dogs eat only 3-4 cups of food a day. In my opinion, ...
There are two phases of raising a Newfie that are equal parts awesome and trying, the adolescent stage and the senior stage. That little fluff ball puppy will eventually turn into a senior Newfie and no one can prepare for the senior years. You’ve made it through all the above and now you’re here. These will be the toughest, most expensive, dirties...
