do you guys like newfoundland dogs!?

[mc99david]

never met one but i think they look pretty goofy

[bpz]

YES! I want one so badly. A friend of mine when I was growing up had one, she was like a gorilla but was the sweetest dog ever. An old guy in the neighborhood I used to live in would walk around with his, they seem like badass dogs and nobody would ever break into your house if you had one.

Two newfies, a husband and wife live on a mountain side house where I snowboard. I always stooped to say hi when i was riding by. They were very nice dogs, and they liked me more than arbor.

[Arbor11]

[fineout]

reminds me of a Saint, my brother has a saint and shes the best dog ever, very chill and lovable and caring. from what ive heard newfoundlands have a similar temperment so sure they seem cool!

I thought this thread was gonna be about people from a certain canadian province.
hehe. I like big dogs.
I think in the future, my next big dog will be one that can take sub-zero temperatures.
my great dane did not like the cold (-30*c)

[kapoze]

a white one would be cool. look like a polar bear

[fineout]

AJ, get a Saint...they are the ####

[Arbor11]

Great danes are awsome too, my uncle has one too they are crazy.

[Braden343]

so for someone who has never seen one of these dogs, how big are they?

[AJ]

32" to 35" at the haunches.

[wakeup]

I like my dogs and cats the size of cats.

I would like one of those that is about half as big though, that would be friggin' sweet.

[destroyerofpottery]

They weigh in at around 100 - 150 lbs.

I think they were originally bred for water rescue, along with draft work... in any case, working with people. So they are very people (and kid) friendly, and a sweet disposition is actually part of the breed standard ^_^ So yes, very sweet dogs!
