Could anyone tell me who the most proven Landseer breeders are? I would appreciate it very much!

has anyone had a problem with cherry eye? my 9month old has had surgery twice - she has to have it again because the gland popped back out. Hopefully it will work this time. I had hoped to breed her if her hips and heart certify. What about the cherry eye - should I NOT breed her? Bev

Help. Our 1st Newfie and she's 9 mos. old and is a complete monster. She's an angel when we're at doggy class, but that's it. She barks in her crate all night so we get no sleep. If we let her out she eats everything. She even knows she shouldn't. She also opens doors (pocket door to closet, sliding glass) and helps herself. I don't know where to put her or how to handle the discipline. I have NEVER had such a rotten puppy ever. She's eaten a pager, checkbook, money, multiple pairs of shoes, magazines, kleenex, toilet paper, pills, rugs, towels, etc. She's too big to put things high enough. And she jumps gates. Do Newfies have major issues w/being crated? If so, what do others do?? We both work during the day, but I let her out at lunch every day to split things up! We have invisible fence so I can't leave her out during the day for that long of a period (we're not allowed fences). Help w/any suggestions or comments. Thanks so much!! :(

Our 1 yr old Newfoundland is shedding so much lately. He's an inside/outside dog. I groom him once a week, he looks wonderful. I thought this would really help with the shedding, but I find myself still vacuuming every day!!! I was just wondering if other Newfy owners are having the same dilemma.

We have a 3mth old newf named Bucky. This is our 1st newf. We have to give him a bath once a week because he smells. Depending who you talk to this is good or bad. His cage also must be cleaned, not because it is dirty, because of the smell. I brush him daily. I read that it could be his food. I feed him science diet puppy formula. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Brady

I was checking out newfies on the web and came across an ad for a brown and white newfie. Are they possible? Please any help is greatful.

I am in search of a breeder in the state of Washington. I have been to NCA web site and have not had success with the breeders listed there and I have also emailed one breeder I found here at breederweb and have not gotten a response back yet. My husband & I have been waiting for 2 1/2 years to add a Newfie to our family and now we just can't seem to find a breeder. We just want to get on a waiting list!!! Thanks for any information and help you can give. Kathy

I'm looking far forward to getting a Newf pup (my first!) in late spring of 2004. I'm new to dealing with a breeder. How far in advance do you generally notify a breeder that you want a pup? When should i start visiting the parents? Again, i have over a year.

these two are littermates and they are having loads of fun, mocha came from ill to visit us!

I need help locating a really good, reliable show quality breeder. I would like to purchase and show a Landseer, preferably male and will wait untill the perfect one becomes available. Any suggestions?

I have a female black AKC Newf that I'd like to mate one time before we have her spayed. Looking for black AKC sire in Scranton-WilkesBarre area.

Hi! Does anyone know where to find a good form on the internet, that I can use to contact Breeders? I need something that includes all the important questions about the various health issues. I am not sure quite what to ask Breeders and find it odd, trying to ask questions about a puppy I can't even see. Anyone have a format that worked for them? Any ideas are welcome. I have already visited the Newfoundland Club of America and read their stuff but still have no idea what to say when I actually write to a breeder.

Hello to All Newfie Fans: I am trying to decide which color newfie I want. I have owned a wonderful landseer, and was now thinking of a brown or gray or black. I narrowed it down to brown or black because I couldn't find a really good picture of a nice looking gray - they seem wolf-like. My question to all of you is this: in terms of which is smarter, easier to work with and train and more willing to pull carts and such, what is your opinion - is brown or black better? I have heard landseers are the smartest...what do you think?

My Newfy is a year old 127 lbs. and he has Pano. The Vet says it is growing pains. Is there anybody out there that is familiar or has had experience with Pano? Plese give me some ideas to try to make it better!!!! Michelle&Ludwig

Can anyone tell me about aggression in Newfies? My puppy is 10 months old. Loves people, except when they have food! 2x he has shown aggression around someone who was eating -- he barked and went for the food from their hand! Also, he's shown aggression towards other dogs -- but that's our mistake for not enrolling him in puppy kindergarten earlier. He's now enrolled in obedience classes and IS improving his behavior around the dogs in his class. Can anyone give advice or explain the aggression???

I AM LOOKING FOR A SOLID BLACK MALE NEWF. PLEASE E-MAIL ME IF ANYBODY HAS A LITTER. THANKS IN ADVANCE MICHELLE

I live in Michigan, too, and am a seasoned Newfie owner! That's horrible and scares me a little, too. What made him think he had the right? I've got a regular population of the neighborhood's black labs that think my lawn in a "dump" zone, but I'd never shoot any of them. (As much as I'd like to sometimes, though it's the owner's fault, not the dog's.)

OUR FAMILY IS LOOKING FOR A SOLID BLACK MALE NEWF PUPPY. IF ANY ARE AVAILABLE PLEASE E-MAIL ME. THANKS MICHELLE

I am so happy I have an 18weeks old brown Newf, his name is Chewy. He will play hide and seek but looks at us through slots in a lawnchair, thinking we don't see him.

I am in need of a stud for our female newfie. Baby has all the excellent qualities you would want in a Newfoundland. Please respond if you can help.

Can someone please help me. I am looking for a male newfoundland dry mouth stud to service my female.

I am looking for someone who breeds Bronze Neufs. I saw a listing for one in Missouri a few months ago, but can't seem to locate it again.

I recently sold one of my Newfoundland Puppies. Shipping a 10 week old puppy ended up costing me $367 on Northwest Air. Is there a more economical, yet safe way to ship puppies?

Hi! I was just heartbroken this morning when I found out that the black male pup I have been waiting 6 weeks for is no longer available to me!! How can I avoid this happening again, especially when dealing with breeders that don't keep waiting lists? Thanx Shawna

I AM LOOKNG FOR A BREEDER CLOSE TO TENNESSEE, I CANT FIND ANY. THANKS IN ADVANCE MICHELLE AND FAMILY

Just curious. We live at 8885 feet above sea level, and there are three newfies in town. Mine can be seen at www.bowserbaskets.com.

Lets hear it for high (altitude) newfies. If yours live high up, tell me where. Ill check back, and in the meantime

see Jelly. She got here name becasue Jam dont shake like that!

My 11 1/2 year old newf has recently gone blind. It came on fairly quickly. "Lucy" has been diabetic for about 2 years, but it has been under control with insulin shots. Does anyone have any experience with an elderly blind newf? Has your dog been able to adapt? Any suggestions for helping her adapt more easily? Can the dogs quality of life still be good? PLEASE RESPOND IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS!

If you are considering adding a Newf to your life, please read the article, "Dont Buy a Newfoundland If..." http://www.marylouz.com/ncs/article.html

For further information on the breed visit the Newfoundland Club of America at http://www.newfdogclub.org/ for breeder referral, rescue information, health issues, and other Newf facts.

"If people tell you their dogs have never produced a defect, their dogs have probably produced only one litter, they dont follow up on their puppies or what is most likely the case, they are being less than truthful."

So we got our Newf pup,3 1/2mths old. She is playful,barks at times,and

can though playing will at times growl with her toys,nip at our pants,and

hands if we have them down. She throws herself on her back to be petted,

and though were are trying to housebreak her,and making strides she will

bite at her lease,and and tug at her collar. WHAT IS GOING ON,IS THIS

WHAT PUPPIES DO! WHAT DOES A NEWF PUPPY DO! We have read

books,etc,but personal experiences is what we seek now.

I live in Las Vegas and have a husband who is wild about Newfs he had one as a child when he lived in Newfoundland Canada. Now that we live in Las Vegas and are ready to buy a dog, The Newf as the only choice!! I am concerned that the summers my be to hot for the dog? Does anyone know if they can stand the heat for a few months of the year without going bonkers?? of course we would make her as comfortable as possable but the last thing i want to do is have an unhappy dog. If you have a Newf and live in a warmer climate i would love to hear from you.

Nic.

Hi: I hate to post this on a message board, but Im having very bad luck. I do pet assisted therapy and need a puppy for my old people at a skilled nursing facility. Im told Newfoundlands are perfect for this. My old people had lost their beloved dog in January and we need another one desperately. Im asking that the puppy be donated to the home so my work with them can continue. No one realizes the importance these animals are to the old people. In return I can have articles written in local papers and perhaps even LA news media attention. Also offered is a tax donation letter to file with the breeders income taxes. Any other details can and will be gladly worked out either by me or the home. Please eMail me at boomer-dude@yahoo.com. I know breeding is a business, but we need your help. Thanks

My wife and I just bought a home and are looking for two Newfoundland puppies. Can anyone recommend a breeder in the Chicagoland area? Also, what can we expect to pay for a puppy?

Looking for a Newfoundland Pup. If you have one for sale, pease let me know $$$ and your location. Thanks

I am looking for some information on Newfoundland puppies and hip dysplasia. I would like to know if you can detect hip dysplasia when they are at six months old; and if not, how soon could it be detected? If we catch it early on, will we be able to fix it without giving our puppys life? Are there any exercises we could possibly do before we know to possibly decrease the risk of our puppy getting it? I would like to know answers to these questions and many others. If someone would please write me back, I would be very greatful.

i live in utah and am seeking anyone who breeds newfoundlands, i am willing to pay almost any price to find a campanion for my family but mostly for my only child. i have researched the breed and believe it to be the perfect friend and addition to my family. Please contact me or my husband ben, thank you much,

Hi my name is Judi and i am currently working on my judging licence, I have been showing and breeding German Shepherd Dogs for 13yrs. and now would like to find a SHOW bitch to put my time and energy into. My husband does the handling of our german shepherds and loves his work. "We are a team" now i would like to expand into another breed and love the giant breeds. I have known of quite a few, but none took my breath away like the Newfs. Please contact me if you have any information that will help me find what i am looking for. Thank You for your time.

Hi, I had a question about grooming Newfoundlands. we recently got back from vacation and boarded our Bailey at a Kennel that is also a Vet clinic. they also do grooming. I talked to the groomer when I dropped her off and told her not to cut her hair short-she was matted in the back from constantly swimming in our pond. Well, needless to say when we picked her up, the groomer shaved every bit of hair off her except for her head and also half of her tail. I was wondering if would damage the way her undercoat grows back and the rest of her?? If anybody out there knows could you please email me back.

Thanks,

Jayne

Our family recently lost our best family friend of 11 1/2 years, our Newfie, Reagan. We are now actively looking for a Newfie Pup.

We live in SE Wisconsin (Kenosha County). Please let me know of available puppies. Will consider black or Landseer, male or female. As Reagan eventually lost out to hip displasia, OFA is essential. Also interested in price range.

Thanks for your response!

Can anyone help me find out what became of a kennel

called: Barbara-Allen Kennel, from the State of

Washington. Last I recall was in late 1960s, and

they were relative pioneers in pushing SOUNDNESS in

Newfies via OFA etc. No book I can find even MENTIONS

they existed...which I find surprising. Help ? Thank you.

I am receiving a 3mo old newf tomorrow, the only problem I have 3 very spoiled inside and outside cats.. I had the dog here a few days ago and my cats were not to happy. I love my cats. But I also have fallen for this dog. Can I have a happy home.

Nat

Mary.

Thank you for your response.. I decided to keep the newf and I signed him up for obdience school. I am still a little worried about my cats not getting along. But hopefully over time theyll adjust. I will keep you updated. Thank you so much.

Natalee

I have a chance to receive a free newf who is 3 months old. The only problem I have other than my little house, Is I have three very spoiled cats..... Will this newf attack them in any way. I do plan on takin him to obdience school first week in july. I f I take him. Can you believe no body wants this dog......

does anyone know of any newfoundland breeders in the state of kansas ???? if so u can e-mail me at mkoxy@aol.com thank-you

i feel that there is a misunderstanding about this, my newfs do not drool unless: there is food present, a female that my male likes, the drool is minimal, unlike that of other newfs i have come across, so to say drymouthed in my humble opinion means most of the quiet time that is spent with owner.

if in a new area or excited there is mimimal.

ok

so the person that posted below in all caps, what is your interpretation.

it is weird how people can read so much into things, in saying this about my newfs i always explain that when they take a drink watch out!!!

i never tell them to expect them to be totally drool free just that some of them i have been around you practically need a wet suit to be around! ick! Flugers that stick to the wall and crystalize, lol

i once had a nautica dog here for a week, he was totally gross, but such a sweetheart i overlooked it but was so thankful that the newfs i own are not even 3/4 as bad as he was, now that is not to cut nautica down,

SEARCHING for a smallish/brown female Newf

What is the recommended product for flea control on a newf?

Weve used the veterinarian prescribed pills, liquids... but have also heard about herbal or natural remedies (garlic, brewers yeast mixed in with food, as well as a product from the pet stores called EDGE. We have 2 other dogs, a Lahaso, and a Chow mix. Now we have our Newf and Im sure those of you more experienced with a Newf probably have preferences. All our dogs are in-house dogs.

Hello, Im a college student at the University of Illinois, and am preparing to graduate and go off into the "real world," and as part of my preparation, Im in the market for a Newf puppy. My family has owned a couple of Newfs while I was growing up, and they are absolutely the best, I just love them.

The thing is though, I would really be interested in a gray pup this time around. I was wondering if anyone on this message board could make any recommendations for highly reputable, respectable Newf breeders with gray litters, preferably somewhere in the Midwest or on the west coast (I will be relocating to the west coast after graduation). Im not interested in showing him, he would be just a pet, but I still want to get the highest quality pup I can, and I am willing to pay top dollar.

Thanks in advance,

-Kent R. Spillner
