Should i get a Newfoundland?
They look like teddy bears and have a gentle nature (Even though they are gigantic)
How much should we walk it a day?
What food brand is good for a newfoundland?
How much do they cost per week?
Do they drool a lot?
Do they shed a lot?
Our house is medium size and medium sized backyard. We would walk hime for an hour MAX
We would love him a lot.
I love them and I really want one. Thanks in advance!
Don’t get a newfie just because they’re gentle and look like Teddy bears. Because they are so large they require a lot of exercise, attention, grooming, and food, which also means they cost a lot. And because they are such big dogs, they require obedience training.

Minors cannot purchase or adopt dogs.

The breed sounds nice, and it sounds like you have a loving home to offer.
I grew up with a dog that was about 120 lbs. I hope you make a lot of money because big dogs eat a lot of dog food!

Neil, only a husky sheds more than a newfie. And you’re going to have to deal with several cups of drool a day with these dogs. They have trouble in hot weather, such as summer, and you have to watch for heat stroke.
They are large dogs, they eat and poop big poops. They need exercise–a 3 mile walk a day is not unreasonable. What I suggest is to contct a Newfoundland breed rescue and talk to the people over there, they know the good and bad about the breed.

1
Vaccinate your Newfoundland when you first get him, if he is due for vaccinations - check with the breeder. Then get booster vaccinations as recommended by your veterinarian to maintain the dog’s immunity to diseases. Consult your veterinarian about flea-control products and worming.
#
Step 2
Feed your Newfoundland high-grade dog food. The first ingredient should be meat. Crude protein should be about 22 to 26 percent; crude fat no less than 20 percent. Fiber content needs to be 4 percent or less. Such as blue buffalo
#
Step 3
Brush your Newfoundland’s topcoat and undercoat at least once a week - more often during the shedding seasons - with a wide-tooth comb to get down to the skin. They shed their undercoats twice a year, with lighter shedding year-round. you will need a slicker brush and greyhound comb.
#
Step 4
Bathe your Newfoundland about once every two months - more frequent bathing may take the oily sheen from his coat, which protects it from weather extremes. Instead, dry shampoo your dog (dry shampoo is a powder used on the coat and then brushed out).
#
Step 5
Check and trim your Newfoundland’s nails about once a week - less often if your pet does a lot of walking on pavement or cement. Because Newfoundlands are large and put so much weight on their feet, their nails need to be kept short. The tips of the nails should be just above the ground when the dog is standing. WATCH FOR THE QUICK ITS THE VAIN IN THE NAIL IF YOU HIT IT IT WILL BLEED!!! i SUGGEST A GROOMER DO THIS. if you hit it hold flower ,cornstarch or styptic powder on the bleeding nail for a few seconds it will stop
#
Step 6
Take your puppy to obedience training early on. These dogs are very obedient, but it is important to start when they’re young and therefore easier to handle. Remember to speak with a soft yet firm voice when training your Newfoundland. They are sensitive animals and do not respond well to harsh tones.
#
Step 7
Walk your Newfoundland daily, and give him a chance to swim on occasion if you can. Though Newfoundlands can be a lethargic breed, they love the water. They also require plenty of shade and are sensitive to warm weather.
#
Step 8
Learn the health problems that are associated with Newfoundlands. Newfoundlands are prone to hip dysplasia (a malformed ball and socket in the hip joint), elbow dysplasia, sub-aortic stenosis (a heart condition) and cystinuria (a hereditary defect that forms calculi stones in the bladder).
#
Step 9
Be prepared to watch your male Newfoundlands grow to between 27 and 29 inches and weigh up to 150 pounds. Females will grow to between 25 and 27 inches and will weigh between 100 and 120 pounds. Sometimes bigger I have seen them up to 185 pounds
#
Step 10
Expect your Newfoundland to live about 10 years.
And yes they drool a lot of course and they also shake there heads with the drool flying everywhere they are cute but messy and a lot of work.

the newfoundland is a wonderful breed i have one. they do cost alot of $$$$ you need to feed it a 5 * food if you can because they grow very fast. you need to limit exercise to a certain point due to the body growing very fast and the bones need to catch up. very loyal and loveable but if you can deal with the drool and water all over your floor (they drink alot of water) oh and watch out when they shake there head you got something coming at you ! i’m kidding they are great dogs i owned alot of breeds in the past and now i have a newfie and wouldn’t give him up for the world. he has had surgery to correct leg problems and has an allergist so if you have $$$ in case you pup has issues this is your breed.
if you brush daily you can cut down alot of the shedding and if you live by the water your dog will be in heaven, they love the water but if not a pool will do.
