Any tips for the newborn and puppy stages?!?! These guys are growing like weeds. They're only 5 days old, and now I'm terrified to imagine what 8 weeks looks like...

if you'd like to follow their journey, the mom's IG is @macaronithenewfie

There's a heatwave right now, and Penny decided the best way to cool down is to dig herself a hole and half bury herself. She spent 10 mins making sure it was comfy enough, removing rocks and sticks, then planted her butt down. Bonus for the cold cement foundation. The sun never hits this spot of the house and she is loving it.

He's such a clown...lol

Are all Newfies like this, or just mine lol.

Meet Ula (pronounced like OO-Lah)

She's my first Newfie and she's growing like an absolute weed! At our last vet visit, she wasn't quite 5 months old and weighed in at 60lbs.

I'm so curious to know what your Newfs weighed around her age and what they ended up at as adults? I don't have anything to compare to since she's my first, but I feel like she's going to be an absolute bear... I could be totally wrong though 😂

Fun fact: Ula is a short version of Ursula which means "little she-bear" 🤗

How long will the chewing phase last? My shoes have taken a beating. Any tips to help with this?

This has been the greatest decision! #2 is a winner! They're so gentle and they do this all day, inside and out, non stop horse play and the happy bucket gets full really quick!

We really really tried. Thanks to Life and Rescue with the Reeds in for bringing her into our lives.

10 weeks old and a menace to society

Just picked up this little guys today.

5th official week of having him now! Thinking of maybe doing weekly updates or something. Just some fun for me and well I get to show of the little menace growth

I know for the second pic his head looks massive(love it lmao) but it's just perspectives lmao

Serious note tho. Not sure what plant it is if you know I would love to know ^^ I'm on the west coast of Sweden near Gothenburg if that can narrow it down^^ especially if it's dangerous(I doubt it is it just seemed to clump and stick to his fur with small hooks(only hurt my skin when they where dry but it was a tiny poke)

But my last post, to clarify something. I absolutely adore my little menace and I just call him that for fun^^ and also sorry for not responding to any comments. I will say I read every single one^^ I just been dealing with a lot of bs from everywhere so I've been too exhausted to respond :(

Unfortunately the same thing will probably happen with this post. One day I might circle back and respond or just respond in another post like I'm about to now(sorta)

Firstly for the people who responded with photos of their dogs, they were absolutely adorable and Cosmo says hi back^^

Also if anyone has recommendations/tips we would love that

Little update(again sorry for wall of text but I'm happy someone liked that last time^^) been able to teach him to wait for his meals until we tell him okay^^

He seemed to love the biscuits we got him and dental chews. Honestly in general he seems to like anything that can get into his mouth. Like recently he tried zucchini and mango and seemed to love it

He's met my mom's boyfriend now without any issues, actually seems to love him(he used to have dogs so probably why)

He even got to 3 pretty small old dogs. One when he was actually I think exactly 14 weeks old was 14 years old, he got a little to excited but other than that it went well^^ also a 13 and 12 year old dogs, also small. Didn't seem the most comfortable(any of them) unfortunately. But one of them lives on the first floor around where he lives to poop and pee and he usually barks at him from their french balcony. But on floor level they seemed better.

Also met a 12 year old big dog. Probably around boxer sized and they seemed to like each other just a lady walked by saying something along the lines of "autistic... Don't wanna get bitten" from mine and his understanding she was saying she was autistic and was scared to be bitten :( (a bit scared she somehow knew me or something and calling me autistic but yeah weird interaction)

Lastly, soon me, my dad and Cosmo will be going to valpkurs(basically puppy course/class) to help us understand him and to help us learn how to train him and such^^

Hey Everyone 👋

Koda is coming up to being 5 months old very soon!

I was just wondering, when do male newfoundlands typically become fertile or “activated” in that way? We’ve got two female dachshunds; one was spayed long before we got Koda, but her older sister isn’t (yet!).

We obviously don’t want there being risk of any pups/pregnancy, so just wanting to time our other dog’s spay to be done before Koda matures.

Also, enjoy some recent piccies of Koda! 🐾

TIA.

My buddy is 7 months intact and he has been tinkling in the living room and new rooms in the house. He is fully potty trained and fully pees outside. This is more of walking and a slight stream of pee comes out. Or consistent pee while walking around a new room, almost like he doesn’t know he’s doing it. He has done this on furniture too. He will climb up on it and before getting down he will let a slight pee stream out. When outside he squats and fully releases his bladder. He doesn’t do this indoors. We have two other dogs. A thirteen year old boxer and a 9 year old frenchie. Boxer is female spayed and frenchie is a male neutered.

I currently drive a Subaru Outback which has worked fine for my Newfy. I put the backseat down, and he’s able to roam/lay around in the back with plenty of space.

The Subaru is getting replaced with a crew cab (full 4-door) pickup truck soon, and I’m interested to hear how other folks manage with their Newfs in the backseat.

I’ve looked into these backseat extenders which are supposed to make one flat surface that the dog can lay/stand on. Questioning how effective one of these would be for a ~135lb Newfy though.

Anyone have experience using one of these? How did it go? Any specific brands/models you’d recommend?

Any alternative ways to handle these types of situations?

Trying to make the bed…
Lucky thinks he is helping- he is not.

Currently dog sitting for my aunts gorgeous newfie pup and he was very interested in the hose. It seems he likes drinking from it but not playing in it. It’s a nice way to cool down in the Irish weather right now!

Maybe someone else will better luck than I'm having trying to explain to Bear that is brother is 7x bigger and he needs to be careful. Haha, they just go at it like this all day. Playing and horsing around.

It's so amazing to see how gentle Moose is with Bear and how he often gets on the ground so Bear can play with him easier.

Sooooo glad we got a second Newfy!

I think it is safe to say that Kirby and Suzie-Q have bonded.
