I don't think I will have any more Newf's. I have had 7 Newf's in my life...and my brushing hand is sore
They are lovely dogs, good disposition, gentle, great around all other animals even the most dog aggressive dog loves a Newf. It's just that darn coat. Plus I was very dissappointed that only 1 of my 7 Newf's could swim. One Newf (the one that could swim ) we competed in water rescue which was a blast. We also did carting.
All future dogs will be rescue's and short coated. I love the Rottweiler coat, hardy enough for winter, yet easy to groom. I will never ever take on another purebred dog.
