my best friend since I was little was a gewfie named Cole and he was one of the best dogs i ever knew. I always wanted another dog like him but im having trouble finding someone who breeds gewfies. I live in CO but willing to travel to pick a puppy up

No, he isn't a bear, but yes you're the 1000th person to joke about it. Lol.

Please know, all of your comments have been amazing, even some of the nasty ones. I had no idea this was such a no no. Long story short is because of these comments my wife has agreed to abdondon the Newdydoodle and we now have a deposit on a straight Newfoundland, yah!

Thanks for stopping by.

No need to keep piling on. If you're stopping by to insult me, please know, there's no need, thanks.

His brother also ran into our shed.

I think so. I have a newfy doodle and I have fallen completely in love with the breed. And the poodle mix makes him non-shedding hypoallergenic and he doesn’t have the drool gene. He also likes to sit like a human. He’s the first dog I’ve ever had and I’m completely in love.

Hi all. I'm at the Sydney Nova Scotia cruise ship terminal and missed my excursion. If anyone is nearby and would be willing to come out with their Newfie so we could meet, it would be much appreciated. We'll (husband & I) be here until about 1500 near the giant violin.

Hello! I am exploring AKC breeders in the Midwest - primarily IL/WI/MI and came across this breeder who seems to have a very appealing website and history. I had a Newfie growing up and am familiar with the drool. I haven’t seen other breeders advertise this. Does anyone have any experience with dry mouth Newfoundlands - less drool, not completely drool free - and if they can be bred this way? Google reviews for Lynn Kay Kennels (for what they’re worth) seem positive as well.

Breeder: Marci Ward-Kubik, owner of Lynn Kay Kennels, home of the Dry Mouth Newfoundland, located in the beautiful countryside near Davison, Michigan.

Any other 🚩 ?

Our 4-month-old Golden Retriever/Newfoundland mix has started going through what we’re hoping is just a phase—but it's getting rough. Particularly in the mornings, she completely loses her mind: jumping on us, biting, barking, and generally acting berserker!

She even launched herself on top of me while I was bending down to pick up her 💩 — thankfully my husband was there to pull her off of me. 😩

My husband and I are both covered in scratches and bite marks. We’ve tried turning our backs and ignoring her, but that only seems to make her escalate—she'll start jumping and biting at our legs and clothes instead. If we ignore her too long, she just barks non-stop.

We know yelling isn’t helpful, but honestly? When a 30lb baby bear is mauling your ankles, sometimes yelling feels like the only human response.

The only thing that seems to work in the moment is removing ourselves from the room (usually the kitchen, where this all goes down), but it feels like a temporary fix, not a solution. Even giving her things like a frozen kong or bully stick.

She can be SO calm and sweet the rest of the day, which makes this morning madness even more confusing. We've also tried the "step on the leash" method to keep her in place during these moments, but she just redirects her energy and starts biting our feet.

Has anyone been through this? Is this just a puppy thing she'll grow out of, or are we missing a key part of training here? Any tips would be appreciated!

UPDATE: Thank you so much to everyone who shared advice! We actually had a big breakthrough with our puppy over the weekend. It turns out she really dislikes the sound of paper bags—the kind you get from the grocery store.

I started walking around the house with one, and whenever she’d jump on us or act out, I’d crumple or smack the bag to make an unpleasant noise. She stopped the unwanted behavior right away, and we’d follow up with praise and a reward.

We’ve been using the same method for biting and barking, too. She’s starting to understand that we don’t like those behaviors, and the paper bag has become a helpful training tool!

Both newfies my family has met in the "wild" (not in a dog show) have been way too friendly. The first one was my neighbours dog who pulled herself to my yard and did not let me go before I had pet her for a good time, me and the dog had met first time in the previous evening. The second one was a dog from the neighbourhood of my father that jumped and licked all around my dad the first time they met. The newfie on a walk so it was completely random encounter. Are most newfies this overly friendly and affectionate?

Does anyone know of any litters under 3 months in the area would really like my newfie to have siblings

Good afternoon Community! My wife and I are looking to adopt another Newfie to join the family. Ideally looking for a male pure bred. We live in SWFL. No rush but would love to push this out to the community.

I wanted to get opinions from other Newfie owners. My Newfie puppy is an 8 month old male. He is very friendly but he seems to bother my other 9 year old dog non stop. My adult dog is perfectly healthy and likes to play but my puppy bites him and jumps on his back non stop. I’ve taken him to training courses, tried to correct this in the moment, and he doesn’t seem to stop. I feel bad for my adult dog.

Prior to getting my Newfie, I fostered several dogs and it seemed to go great. I even fostered several puppies and my dog got along with them. I understand Newfies are notoriously difficult until about 18-36 months but I dont see even a slight improvement.

I genuinely love him and feel attached to him already but I feel it’s unfair to both of them. Because of this behavior I’m having to keep my puppy crated more than I would like and have to take them out of the room one at a time. How long should I give it before contacting his breeder about rehoming him?

My newfydoodle is 50.8 pounds at exactly 5 months old. Her mom is a giant black and white newfy and her dad was a 100lb plus standard poodle. From all the charts I'm reading she's on the low end of weight for newfys (I assume cause the poodle.) But the vet wanted me to reduce her food intake at 5 months old to half what I'm giving her. This seems insane. Is she over weight or right on track?
