Welcome Annie, Your going to lovr it here every one is wonderful. I have owned 2 mixed newfies, both were rescues . Buddy was newf and lab 120 lbs.lived till he was 10years old, had cancer that we finally had to put him down too much pain. Bear was newf and golden reteriver, (great for my spinning) he was given to a forever home in the country , after I got him up to weight and so training to be nice and polite. I don't have room now for one so I have merlin a springer .
We live about 25 miles from the Black paws kennels and rescue training center, so I see lots of them during the summer as they all come here to train. I watched them train for the heliocopter jump , it was awesome!!!! Someday.
