Uncle Booger watching over the 'kids'...aka, the poodles.

Good LUCK! Keeping a newf out of water is a physical impossibility. We have a spring on the back of the property with a creek and over the summer my newf kept rushing off into the woods when she was loose with us and coming back wet. I assumed she was heading to the spring because we take her swimming down there. Until our neighbor showed us a picture of our dog standing belly deep in her goldfish pond looking over her shoulder with a look on her face like, "who, me?" Thank goodness they like dogs or we'd have had some major apologizing to do!

Thanks both of you for sharing your pictures of your Newfoundlands!

Oh My Gosh! I am SO jealous! Wish I could have one down here but it is too hot and muggy!

The first time I ever saw one was when I was putting my husband through law school in Boston. I took a walk on my lunch break and there was this beautiful huge black dog with this magnificent wonderful head. I HAD to stop the owner, talk to her, and love on the dog!

That is when I first learned Nanna in Peter Pan was a Newfoundland.

All these years later I am still in love!

We shave Booger down all summer. Otherwise, he hogs the AC vents. Literally...he lays on them. You notice the air is on but it's still hot...look over...yup, Booger's on the vent again....

I know, I probably shouldn't shave him...but I believe he prefers it, and I cannot deal w/ it when he blows coat in the house.

We live in GA where hot and humid is the rule half of the year. It takes a little extra work to keep them comfortable, but what a great excuse to spend the afternoon at the lake. ;) Ours has driven cross country with us twice and had her paws in the Chattahoochee and the Puget Sound and all sorts of puddles in between. You couldn't ask for a better dog. She's getting to be an old girl now and we're so thankful she's still with us.

Nikki, how old are you considering "old"...Ours is 7 now.

We lost a pyr to a twisted intestine at 7 so I've never had a 'giant' dog get 'old'.

We've been giving Booger gluc. / chon. biscuits since he was 2 hoping to help stave off any hip / bone issues and he's actually UNDERweight...our vet says he's the only 'hyper' newfie she's ever seen.
The boy is never still.

When we got him, he literally ate our couch, kitchen table legs, chair legs, my shoes, and even my glasses. It's amazing he survived his puppyhood, lol.
