Rule #1: If you cannot stand drool, do NOT get a Newf
Rule #2: If you are a neatnick, it's probably best you either get black carpet, paint your furniture black, or do not get a Newf.
Rule #3: If you cannot stand the smell of "wet dog" do NOT get a Newf. If there is water, they will fidn it and jump in, 9 times out of ten.

They are sweet as can be, can be a bit stubborn to train, but are great dogs. Be careful if you are going to a breeder, and make sure the parents have been screened for hip and eye problems. Like many big breeds, hip displaysia is a problem in Newfs.

And it is best, if you get a puppy, to start leah training immediately. You want a dog that walks well on a leash without pulling, and it is far easier to accomplish this when the dog is smaller than you.
