Re: the shedding as stopped I would be tempted by the little one behind his legs! I can't see us getting another dog, no more pennies left for another one!

Re: the shedding as stopped Oh Lynne I'm with you I just LOVE Newfoundlands, super nature and brilliant with children BUT expensive to insure and they don't have a very long life span and you would need a bigger house xx
Re: the shedding as stopped helen i will be living alone by the time i get my new boy, as long as i get a smaller house with more land the 3 of us will be fine,.....what is the life span ? i will be doing a lot of home work before i get my new boy,......first things first, i need to put my house on the market mark as been with his girl zoe for 5 years, she is 25 this year mark 24,they both in good jobs so would like to be together , oh dear good catholic living over the brush, how times change :-[ i have got a couple of options, ....what a new year, my daughter zowie is putting her house up for sale, logans mum,....we have options to buy together, bigger house for them with a granny building on the same land, with land for me to train my dogs,.....it is all just up in arms at the moment.....3 weeks in to the new year, loads of things happening,......
Re: the shedding as stopped What an exciting time for you Lynne I'm looking forward to hearing about all your plans!
Re: the shedding as stopped Wow, lots happening! Whatever house you buy, make sure you can hose it out ;D Newfoundlands drool like there is no tomorrow. They are not all easy-going like most Labs are, so pick your breeder very, very carefully and make sure the parents are relaxed, friendly dogs. I'm sure you would do that whatever you were looking at, though
Re: the shedding as stopped its all just in the air at the moment,.....things will be happening towards the end of the year, i have not decided what breed i will be getting as yet,...i have narrowed things down, definitely male, and large breed,....jasper will always be my number one , as he as give my my new beginning to my life i will be able to adapted to cold floors .... ;D
Re: the shedding as stopped Lynne, they have a lifespan of 8 - 10 years as most giant breeds do. How exciting for you, a whole new chapter. I am sure you will give lots of thought to a breed that best suits you, your lifestyle and Jasper too. Would consider getting a biitch as how do you think Jasper would react to having a male friend on his territory?
Re: the shedding as stopped jasper is my first boy, when i decide what breed, if and when, jasper and my self will be spending lots of time with the boy, i wont be getting a pup , jasper is only 13 moth old,....he will be two when i decide to get my next boy,.,,,, i will be giving it a lot of thought, i will make sure whatever breed i get, will be 100% health checked,.....the site as taught me a lot, ....i love my lab, no matter what happens i will love my boys x.....what large breed can any one recommend ?
Re: the shedding as stopped How exciting, Lynne!! Lots of fun for you this next year! Whenever I tell people that Simba is half Newfie, they say, "They are such nice dogs!" So I have never heard anything bad about them. Although the hair would definitely be an issue, for sure.
