bronzee Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Bry, Maximus is gorgeous, are they as soppy as they look? Lol 99% of Newfoundlands are but nobody told Maximus this, it's like he's had 10 cans of redbull everyday They really are as soppy as they look. They're fantastic family dogs, and will sit and watch children and nose them back to where they're supposed to be, just like a parent human, but if someone threatens a member of the family, watch out, especially if it's a full grown male at around 90kgs and sporting that deep growl and bark. Thusly make great guard dogs, and sheerly the size of them scares most people away! They follow you around everywhere unless it's hot, then they'll hide in the shade. Maximus looks like he's growing into those hooves nicely. How old is he now? Ever have trouble trying to get into the car without the Newfie wanting to sneak in??!!

He's 2 now although other than his size he acts exactly the same as when he was 2 months Our last Newfy was the very definition of the breed, gentle,loving, intelligent and a total wuss (would stand there with a bemused look on his face whilst other dogs were swinging off his ears). Maximus is Newfy on the outside and Rottweiller on the inside God help anyone that tried to hurt us or him He is very loyal and follows us everywhere. He loves absolutely everyone and everything (except Hedgehogs, he can't work those out ) He absolutely adores water and will swim for hours if we let him. In a nutshell he's a typical Newfy except for the calm and gentle bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez @ H-Dev Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Bry, when I was looking for a dog I considered a Newfoundland - theres a guy on the farm with one and I went along to a Newfy meet where there were loads of them. I think they're great dogs and yours sounds like he's got a good character. I decided against one in the end, just from the size / mess / slobber potential.

Luckily mine isn't much of a slobberer, unless he's hungry or thirsty or excited or tired or,,,,, well you get the point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Maximus is gorgeous. Love the bib, what a great idea, one way to alleviate the dribble. One major bonus over there for Newfies, is it doesn't get hot over there, most of the time as it does in NZ. A few of my friends over here have to shave their Newfies bellies so they don't boil, thankfully we never had to do that with any of ours.

A few of my friends over here have to shave their Newfies bellies so they don't boil, thankfully we never had to do that with any of ours. We visited a lady with three Newfies in oz a couple of years ago and we asked her how they coped with the Hot weather, she basicaly kept them inside during the day with the AC on and only let them out early in the morning. She was more concerned about Snakes in her Garden than she was the Heat If it does get too hot here then we just fill up a kiddies Paddling pool and let Maximus chill out in that At the other end of scale when it Snows he's very handy at pulling sledges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been threatening Stew with stealing Oscar all week to get a fur fix - I think would even settle for a Newfie slobbery hug and I'm really not a doggy person!
