ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT A NEWFOUNDLAND?

I MEAN, REALLY SURE!

Please do not buy a puppy without researching the breed first,
talking to numerous breeders, Newf owners and making sure a Newf is for you.

THEY ARE A LOT OF WORK!

Just for a sample of what's in store

I hope you love to vacuum, know how to fix them and that you own a real good one.
And concerning DROOL, have you ever seen a DROOLACTITE?
That's what I call it when it's hanging from,............ yes the ceiling!
When they go swimming or get wet, which can be almost anytime they see water or it rains.
Lets just say they are like a giant furry sponge with four legs and a big tail!
Also bigger dogs are MORE EXPENSIVE when it comes to medical expenses.
Not to mention if you have them "Professionally groomed".
Although well worth the money because you do get what you pay for!
You'll more than likely end up trying to do it yourself,
Which can be a lot of work if you neglect their maintenance.
And if you groom them yourself you will probably end up like us,
making a grooming area just for them, which isn't cheap.

HAVING SAID THAT ALL THAT!

If you were to ask any Newf owner they, like us, would more than likely say,
"Having a Newf in their life has been priceless!"

We understand that because we have had "shelter dogs" to "pure bred dogs",
all of which were great dogs! We loved them all and wouldn't have traded that for anything!
But we can honestly say
"God willing" we will always have at least one Newf at our side!
And currently we are blessed with three!!
