I bred, raised and rescued Newfies for 15 yrs. Bhaaloo is a nice male. He has a great head piece. He is still a pup at 2 yrs. old. I would love to hug him... they are the best huggers. Thank you for sharing him with all of us and telling us about the breed. People are always amazed when they see a Newfie walking down the street.I use to love the looks on their faces. My Faith lived for 14.5 yrs, she was a Landseer. Faith was the most gentle, loving and loyal creature I have every known. We miss her terribly each and every day.

Tormented Soul thank you so much! They sure are an amazing breed and wow over 14yrso that’s amazing! We’re always praying for long (healthy) lives for our dogs. It is so funny like you say to see people’s faces and looks, especially currently in Texas they’re not a common breed so it’s always a lot of questions to follow lol but of course he loves the attention 🤣

Absolutely beautiful! We had a Newfie when I was a little girl and his name was Lonesome and he was the best, most loyal dog. I still remember the day he passed away and all these many years later, I’ve never forgotten him. If I had a big yard, it would be a Newfie all the way for me. ❤️

Screaming Tima aaaw so sweet! Hopefully one day you can have one again they really are amazing

Dont leash pull, Newfs will rebel. talk alot, they love that, tone of voice and always the same. They relate to you and need boundries. Love jumps are BEAUTIFUL, but they should be controlled with the "hands down" , NEVER open arms, they will jump!! roll over is WONDERFUL, let them do it. They are welcoming you. Groom them, with combing, they want it, NEED it as it removes dead skin, and old hair, in non molting times or not (its not a question of them getting used to it, they NEED it" Plus grooming is a shower for them. like for us humans NEVER leave a NEWF alone. They are team animals and need you and the rest of the team. DONT take a NEWF if you want them as a yard , or garden dog.

We've always had a newfie in the household. This is a breed for people that love them & understand that the newfy is your lifestyle not for people that think they will fit in yours

I have two Newfie/Lab mixed dogs, both 3yrs old. The male is 130lbs and female is 115 lbs. It’s a great mix. Calmer than labs and less grooming than newfies, but they shed like crazy. They basically look like short haired newfies/giant labs. They are beautiful and amazing dogs, and yes they are definitely a lot of work. Big dogs with big personalities. My life completely revolves around them, but they are totally worth it. They just want to be a part of your life. They want to be with you, wherever you are, and whatever you are doing, they want to be there.....so it’s not the dog for you if you are going to just leave them at home all the time. They are also messy, so you have to be prepared to clean them and clean up after them. Aside from the shedding, they drool, they leave big muddy paw prints, and if you don’t give them enough exercise they can get destructive. I had to learn their limits and learn how to understand what they want. They actually communicate with you and my male is quite mouthy. Newfoundlands or Newfie mixes are definitely my breed of choice going forward.

Thanks for the video! Very informative. We got a Newfie a week ago. She is 10 weeks old and gorgeous, but she already is really strong. In 5 days at home with us, she learnt a lot, she is beginning to listen to us and to be ok in the leash, getting better everyday. But it is challenging, like all puppies, but with this size more. She is constantly drinking and peeing, drinking and peeing, outside if we are fast or inside, she cries and cries at night...nights are a party in my house now...but she is the sweetest kindest girl ever. Love her to bits! She tries to please, as you say, but still stubborn. The only problem I see with her in the future is her strength. My hands are not well, I have Arthritis, but we are committed to train and train her as much as we need to prevent pulling and jumping and all that. We are already doing it and she is doing fantastic,! Such a smart little bear. I can not stop to look at her face. She is so beautiful, and so good. Thank you so much for your video, it is helping a lot new owners like me. Thank you!

Lots of walking and some free runs helped keep him healthy. He wasn't a big eater. He loved Tamales but but not dog food so much so I mixed Costco chicken with his food. Just great loving friends , but lots of hair and slobs, they are full time.. I had to block the TV so he couldn't knock it over.

Sorry Ruby, That's incorrect. The proper way to pronounce Newfoundland is, "Newf~in~land". Say it fairly quickly and make it rhyme exactly with "understand" and you'll have it right. I'm from Newfoundland and I can assure you, that's how it's spoken by people here. Definitely, no "Fin" , "Lind" or "Lund" sound.

What a handsome guy! I had my own Newfie named Baloo (like Jungle Book) and he was a goofy boy that loved to take a nap with you if you laid on the floor. He passed many years ago as an old man after almost 14 years of life, but my love for the breed has never died.

13:11 🐾 I have unfolding stairs (brand Petloader) that are sturdy but are supported by the tailgate. Although I can get them in place quickly, it is still time consuming when compared to just lifting the dog. The dogs tend to see ramps as leaning walls so they take to stairs a bit better. If the dog is spazzing out it difficult to set stairs in place whilst controlling them. It's much easier if you puppy train dogs like this to take to floating stairs and walkways. I watched a 90+ pound rottweiler (with more of a doberman build) that was instantly in the back of my SUV, without any prompting or difficulty, but most dogs at that weight threshold aren't high jumpers. I wonder if jumping-up could be trained into those molosser breeds or if they are just too physically inept; age, weight, and injury would be of concern. I have watched really old dogs that have surprised me with their physicality. *_FUN FACT:_*_ People who have never hurt their back while lifting will assume that they are immune until they aren't. Strengthening your stomach wall will help protect you from hernias and back trouble._ 😁

I Iove how you affectionately call him a newfie bc I am, in fact, a newfie! The human kind! Lol (New fund land, emphasis on the land) 😆

"Most difficult to keep" I'm not sure about that. We've had Old English Sheepdogs and Great Danes and are looking at a Newfie for our next dog.

I have had 5 Newfs. The last 3 the house breaking took one night and a day. The breeder was 5 to 6 hour drive. I would have a good size crate for the puppy in the back seat. Kept the radio low or off while driving so I could talk to and hear the puppy. As soon as the puppy started whining I would stop at a rest area and let the puppy out lots of praise and some play. At home 🏡, now night bring in the crate , one last bathroom break. Sleep, next to the crate with hand in the crate as much as possible. Any whining get up go side. Morning and that pay close attention to needing to be taken out. Puppy is now house broken.

They make really good fold up ramps for dogs to walk up into the back of your vehicle so you won't have to lift them up. Older people can have them, they don't require a ton of exercise and like with any very large dog you train them not to pull when they are young. The biggest issue is the heat, they do not like heat and it isn't good for them. I live in Canada so of course, they fit in perfectly here and are not a rare breed where we live.

Hi Ari (and the rest of our audience!) I am in the research phase and would like to ask a few questions: - You stressed diet a few times. How much and how often do you feed Bhaaloo? What is the best food you would recommend? - You also stressed exercise. We do not have a large yard, but we are only a few miles from a very nice (and very large) beach. Question: Can a Newfie go into the ocean and if they can, will they require a bath after to remove anything that may irritate their skin?

@ari.alvarez-tostado

Жыл бұрын

Diet: I would definitely talk to your vet and breeder about this I am no expert, we are currently feeding purina pro plan large breed. As for how much and how Ofer it really depends, as puppies it’s 3 times a day as adults it can be twice a day or one (in our case. Amount really depends on each dog. They can settle between 5-8 cups a day of dry food. Again check with vet. - exercise is needed for newfs, good walks at their pace never over doing it - as fast as swimming in the ocean I personally would definitely recommend rinsing them very well to get sand and salt water off. Not sure if they would need a full bath but definitely a thorough rinse/brush/dry

i'm not a huge fan of the look of newfies honestly but in my search for the perfect breed for my life they're really the only breed that shows up to all my stops😅 i'm in the process of preparing to purchase and train a newfoundland as a service dog and i've heard amazing things from newfoundland service dog handlers but i think my concerns would be them looking scary to people in public ( landseers look less intimidating since the white breaks up the bear look a little )

For a time we couldn’t leave anything laying around. Also if they have something you don’t want them to chew trade it for one of their toys, check my second video it may be helpful but I’m happy to help anyway

Damn sis, u really been thru it w them dogs huh. Sorry about that. Seems like you’re doing great now tho so 🤙🏿

Hi Ari, Thank you for trying to solicit the proper pronunciation of Newfoundland from your viewers. From watching the dozens of clips on this site featuring the Dog, it's clear hardly anyone has it right, but your the only one who seems to care. So, here goes; Uttered correctly, it should sound like "Newf~in~land". Say it rapidly and make it rhyme with "understand". It's easy. There should be no "Fin" or "Lund" sound at all. On a related matter: Many, many people also refer to their dog as a Newfie. I'm from Newfoundland and my wife and I had a big beautiful male like yours. The thing is, in Newfoundland the vast majority of the natives dislike the nickname Newfie. The ones that use it themselves are usually the uneducated, slack-jawed type. Many other Canadians will use the word in a hurtful way to put us down. The reasons for this are complicated but if you ever visit Newfoundland you can ask anyone to explain it. Just think if Pakistan had a national dog and its name was similarly shortened. I don't think KZread would let you post a video using that. Thanks again for caring.

We had goofy newfies from 83 to 09. The first one was incredibly intelligent and strong. They have a great sense of humor. I miss them but the tick diseases are too dangerous now. The vaccination does not work. Good Luck, Rick

@@ari.alvarez-tostado Thanks. There is a lot of cases of tick diseases now. Eight other people in our county died of tick diseases in 2017. Many more were hospitalized. The government does not seem to publicize it. The best defence that I have found is to spray my yard and along my driveway in April. I use the Cutter yard spray that goes on the end of a garden hose. I go 100' out from the house all around. I seems to last until late July. I don't spray again until the hard frost. I don't want to hurt the honey bees so my spraying is before there are flowers and after the flowers are gone. The ticks are moving all around the country. Good Luck, Rick

Had 3 newfies in my life and they are hair shedders. You must be able to tolerate that. Watching newfie videos, they all seem to have similar behaviors in many ways. The definitely do not do well in hot summer. Mine always went and hid in the coolest part of the basement when it was hot. (Hot means over 80F). They need another dog to play with unless you can devote 3-4 hours a day to burning them out.

I know this is a bit late but would you recommend a newfie in florida?

Kacia Wager personally I wouldn’t but I also don’t know what part of Florida you’re in. The thing is with such a heavy coat with the heat and humidity they really struggle but that’s just my personal opinion 🤗 when it’s super hot and humid here in Texas his skin really gets irritated but he suffers from bad skin allergies ... again very sensitive skin 😘

I love your attempts but you miss the point, these dogs are really difficult, if you start from scratch with a Newf, you seriously wont understand what you have in your hand. I have looked after Rotties, Alsations, Dobs , Labs, Retrievers etc. Newfs are not he same. They are not an easy dog. They are a way of life, they are almost human. I spend 6 hours a week on combing. They matt, they feel uncomfortable. They need cool climates, they need water. They need to swim. But they are the best dogs in the world. They bond with humans. BUT what you say is the sales of a Newf. Dont do that. They need special care.

@@ari.alvarez-tostado ok and welcome to the Newf world of wonder, Italian style, the NEWF is a status symbol. I get up every day, think about the princess, I look at the weather , think about the princess, I phone the owner and ask if I can take the princess out for walkies, i get permission to take the princess out, if i get a reply, (the children first); Nobody takes the Newf out. But me. winter and summer, if the owner remembers the Newf once a year they do a 10 minute walk. . I am the next door neighbour. I do this free, 4 times a week I take the Newf out. Otherwise the newf is left in the court yard for 3 months in the summer at 38° C. No love no walkies, the children are at home so..... no walkies,,, children first. The Newf is a guard dog for the children!!! BIG DOG! Must be good!. Italian style. Its a status symbol. Ive a Newf!! Im important like Armani. Simple , wear it. This season only. In the meantime I have a dog sitter, just as well I dont have to pay, or my children have to "dirty their hands if the Newf is to close". I love the NEWF, she is mine. But Italians are not dog owners, they are collectionists of Beautiful Things.

Hi my name is Kathie and I am going soon to meet the parents and put my deposit down on my bestie puppy. Could you please tell me what the name o of the heart condition is so I can ask the breeder about any family history of it and if that is something they check for. I haven't come across it in the research I have done. I will be training him as my service dog to help me with my balance and mobility

@ari.alvarez-tostado

Kathie Emerick hi!! Omg so exciting! So it’s a congenital heart desease (I believe it’s a form of aortic stenosis) that is passed down to puppies, and may cause serious issues as they get older. Your breeder should do a heart test at around 8 weeks old (or so not sure) and he should give you the results. This is one of the main congenital issues Newfies have and I would definitely ask him for the results. It’s usually a vet certificate and he should give it to you or at least show it when you pick up you puppy, even if there are no family members with it or any family history it is one of those things you have to check for in the breed, just like genetic hip and back problems 🤗 hope this helps!

The Correct Tern Is Newf or Newfoundlander . Someone from Newfoundland is a Newf or a Newfoundlander . Some one from Labrador is a Labradorean. The Term "Newfie" coming from someone who doesn't come from or live on the island is considered to be rude. Just to keep you and your Newf in the mix

This is one of the problems I have with social media. It's a place where there are no crying babies. Only happy, smiling, clean babies that say cute things. Same goes for dogs. No one wants to show their dog chewing on their 1987 World Series baseball broken from its protective case. Nor the drool or dragging their butt across the living room floor. I have seen grooming videos, bringing my puppy home videos, training tutorials, introducing my pup to our cat videos, but never a day in the life of being a pet parent to a Newf. SOMEBODY (hint, hint) needs to make a video showing the real raw footage of what it means to live with this giant breed. You would be doing a public service bc for every cute puppy pic you have posted or cute IG story told there is some idiot who has done zero research on the breed and just goes out any buys one. Just like the geniuses that buy Dalmatians every time Disney releases a reboot of 101 Dalmatians.

I totally agree, this is why even though my channels are not “dog channels” I’ve wanted to share more about the breed. Also why I never share breeder info because it requires a lot of research and if I do get any questions I’m brutally honest about how they’re not for everyone. If you’re newer to my channels I do share in my Instagram stories all the messy parts the drool on my shoes and in other videos I actually do show footage of his drool on my pillow and walls. Again I believe this is an amazing breed but not easy at times 🤗 thanks for your comment if you stick around here or my Instagram you’ll see more of the daily shenanigans

Enjoyed your video very much. We just lost our 3rd Newfie (Abby) in May 2023 from Stage 4 Kidney Failure. She was 10 1/2 years old. The one before her (Breeanna) lived until 11 1/2 years old and the one before her (Kellsey) lived until 5 years old. Kellsey passed because of meds that were not monitored correctly by the Vet we used at that time. We are in our mid 60's and still deciding whether or not to get one last Newfie.
