Merry Christmas! Hi I am new to the club and wanted to see if there are any Newfs that need a home. I am in Newotown Pa. About 45 minutes from Philly. I have loved These big sweet dogs for years and think I am now ready to give one a home. I have a 8 year old Saint Bernard and a 12 year old Lab and they both want a new member of the family. I was wondering if anyone can help me out and tell me what I need to do to get in touch with someone in my area. My e-mail address is h2ologed@yahoo.com Can't wait to hear form someone soon!

Jan [18 Dec : 15:39]

Hello Everyone, Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who was a part of the St . Augustine Festivities and Parade. "Lady" and her new family all enjoyed themselves so much. We are looking forward to next December....Even if it rains! Teeeheee........It was so well planned and fun..............Thanks again........ Happy holidays..The Andersen's

Bette [09 Dec : 19:36]

We went to St. Augustine just to see the Newfs, staying at the same hotel. They are gorgeous and the owenrs are wonderful. We will def be back next year, still working on my other half to adopt one...!!

blstarke [25 Nov : 12:34]

Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving

Jan [02 Nov : 21:19]

Hi Annabelle~~~Newfies are quite sensitive to the heat so please keep them in a cool home. We have had two and they basically go out to enjoy a walk and then head straight into our home during the hot months. During the cooler months they do love the shaded porch, dock area, grass/dirt. When you take them to a groomer they can advise you about your dogs particular coat. I keep Ladies shorter in late spring/summer and then just let it grow thru November.....I am pretty sure someone from the club can teach you how to best trim her if you need help. (I am NOT good and cutting any dog or human hair!!! ahaahaahahahahah)

MollyBear [14 Oct : 19:01]

Hi Everyone...I am new to the club but so happy to be here. My husband and I lost our two Newfie's within one month of each other last April and May. Molly was a Landseer who passed at 12.5 yrs young with heart failure. Baron (Bear) lasted about three weeks before passing at 13.5 yrs young due to what our vet could only diagnose as a broken heart. It has been really tough not having them here even with our 3.5 yr old daughter and 16 month old son. We miss having our drooling 125lb lap dogs and are interested in adopting or finding an available newf litter. Anyone out there have any good recommendations? We are in the Valdosta, GA area. Thanks!

Annabelle's Mom [14 Oct : 18:12]

Hello, Everyone! I live in Seattle and JUST got a rescue Landseer puppy two months ago. No big surprise to all of you, she is an angel and the entire family is thoroughly taken with her! We've decided to move back to SW Florida and I'm wondering how the Newfies do in the heat? Do they get trimmed back or is their coat fine in the heat and humidity? What about the water moccasins? My dachshund was snatched by a gator many years ago in J'ville and I'd like to hear what reassurances you can give me, please? I couldn't bear it if anything happened to Annabelle. Thanks!

babeblu421 [23 Sep : 23:05]

So Willow has finally gone into heat. You guys didn't tell me it was going to be so messy, lol.. just saying:) Does anyone know how long on average that she should bleed for? In 1 day she has gone through a 12 pack of diapers, and a full bottle of carpet cleaner, haha.

blstarke [05 Sep : 11:38]

Hey, just wanting to sayHello to everyone and congratulations on everyone's wins this summer. I haven't been on much since our Gunny has been on Crisis response for a missing child since February. Hope to see everyone soon

Slobbernator [04 Sep : 16:15]

Hi Sheila and welcome to the club. Congratulations on your decision to add a Newf to your family. My wife and I are owned by two 4 year olds and we love them dearly and recommend the breed as the most gentle dogs we have ever known. We have two grandsons, 2 and 8 years old , and have never worried the least bit having them around the dogs. I am sorry to hear about your chow mix. We had 3 chows in the family, the last one passed away 6 years ago at 15 years old.. we loved them alot but never were too comfortable when strangers tried to get too close. Dont know where you are located but there is an event in Clearwater on the 12th (see the flyer) where you could meet some members and their Newfs. Bruce Meligan

s. labosco [31 Aug : 20:13]

SANGAR [20 Aug : 22:52]

Julie, I know of two persons One with a litter on the ground now and one to have a litter soon. Kim below will also have a litter later this year. Rescue is great also. all these are good ideas good ideas . Look at our links for breeders and the NCA breeders list to learn about the different breeders the type of Newfs , colors ect and reasearch before getting your dog.

Beachbear [19 Aug : 04:35]

Julie I am just north of you in Webster. Were you by any chance able to make it to the fun day? If you did please refresh my memory!shy(it was a very busy day) and if not and you would like to visit just let me know. I do have an older girl that is looking for a wonderful "retirement" home and I will be doing a breeding later this year. I do know there are other FL breeders that will be having litters too.

Jan [17 Aug : 04:06]

Julie~~ You sound like you may be interested in adopting a newfie! Please check our list of dogs presently in RESCUE....See their photos/stories in the Rescue section in tool bar above. We just got our newfie Lady and it was a very easy, happy experience for our whole family. The club is very helpful in answering questions throughout the adoption process and afterwards too. The foster families care and train the dogs so they will be easy to join your family. Also in the tool bar you will find an application/simple to complete when your family is ready to proceed with adopting. Hope this helps--Jan

Julie [16 Aug : 09:16]

Hello - I live in the Tampa Bay area and am having a hard time finding a Newfoundland puppy. We've recently lost our last of 3 dogs year to cancer (ages 8, 16, and 13 years). I have fallen in love with the Newfie's disposition, temperment, etc and feel he/she would be an excellent companion not only to myself and my husband but also to my 2 year old son. We have a huge yard, pool and the dog would be primarily an inside dog with open access to the outside . If anyone can help me out, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Julie

Jan [14 Aug : 18:35]

Hi Everybody--------Just wanted you to know that Lady is cute as ever--she just got her hair trimmed. She still loves to be petted and tends to follow me all around. She is doing well down here in Cape Coral. We are so thankful you aloud us to adopt her. See you soon. The Andersen Family.

Newfielew [03 Aug : 21:03]

Slobbernator [24 Jul : 18:14]

Newfs and I are looking forward to FUN Day. Will there be any club shirts avail;able for purchase?

Bonnie n Lenny [01 Jul : 21:36]

Hey Paul, just sent you a PM.

Jessica Lauren [01 Jul : 20:36]

Hello. I am so glad to have found this site! I moved to Florida in January and have been looking for newfoundland breeding here in Florida. I am in love with these dogs and want one for a companion in my home. I am having a bit of trouble contacting breeders for a pup. I was wondering if anyone could help me. Thank you so much Jess

SGraziano [12 Jun : 09:13]

Just wanted to let you all know that if any of you are giving your dogs Chicken Jerky Treats please stop. My aunt and uncle has a 3 year-old Maltese and someone gave their dog one of these treats in April and she liked it so much that they started giving her these treats on a regular basis and then about 3 weeks ago their dog would be sitting on their lap and would just pee on them. The dog would jump down and hide, because she knew she did something wrong. This behavior continued, so they took her to the vet and the vet asked them if there had been a change in her diet, etc., and the only thing that was different were these treats. The vet ran numerous tests and then tested the treats and they were loaded with toxins. The dog is deathly ill now and in kidney and liver failure and is not expected to make it. They are just devastated! So, I thought I would let you all know to discontinue giving your dogs these treats.

kristi [11 Jun : 19:32]

Kim our goal is to try and take try and bring Stormy to the fun day. We might be shooting to high but you have to have goals... I know he would love your place... we have to set goals. Kristi ken and Stormy the Newfie with Wobblers

kristi [11 Jun : 19:28]

Glad to hear Kim is ready to take on some fosters. I have some heading your way... Surprise Kristi

RachaelW [07 Jun : 12:30]

hi

Beachbear [07 Jun : 05:03]

Ok so I guess I will have time to join in the chat. Now that the pups are off to their new homes and before Flower decides to come into heat and I do it all again I have just a little more time. Hi all! Glad to read some of the posts below. Another great way to keep in touch. It was great to read the report from Jan about Lady and to know she is doing well in her new home. Both she and Malibu were a joy to foster. Paul I have the show pic of Roz so I will scan and send it to you. Bonnie, keep up the "Kermit Memoirs", maybe they can be published one day. I will try to pull up the FB as I have been coersed into joining that as well. Hope all of you are planning on attending the Newfie Fun Day here at the ROB in Aug. We are planning some great activities and as always great food for all. Wonderful place for new and prospective owners to meet some longtime newfie people and a whole lot of newfs.Hope to see you there.

Victoria Rose [04 Jun : 09:24]

Hi, I will hopefully be getting my Newfoundland puppy sometime in Jan or Feb from Passport Newfoundland in Bell, Fl. I will be looking forward to joining your club. It has been a dream of mine to have one of these dogs. I'm Vickie from J-ville, Fl, 57, a nurse, ...not sure if this post is appropriate, but wanted to say Hello and introduce myself. Regards to all.

kristi [01 Jun : 20:38]

Bonnie: spoke to Sally today she loves samson! I think this is a great match...

amisdad [27 May : 08:22]

Hi JAN, that's great to hear. We met Lady at the Lew hall fund raiser and her name fits her. hope to see all of you at the next gathering. Dean, Annamarie, and Ami

Jan [26 May : 18:21]

Hello Everybody, Just a quick note to tell you that Lady is settling into our lives beautifully. She is healthy, happy, fun, and gentle because of the foster care she received from you/your club. Thank you for the love, concern, time and care you gave to her. We are looking forward to meeting you when there is a meeting close by us (West coast) and we are planning on coming to the St. Austine Parade/weekend. Thank you again--Sincerely, Janet, Rich, Anna, Andrew and Lady.

SANGAR [22 May : 19:01]
