TO CUTE! I like the one where it's relaxing in the tub.

That thing is already a hoss. Melissa will be riding it to work before long.

Ok, is that dog ALL Newfoundland? Or does he just have a ton of it in him? Newfies are one of my favorite dogs. Does he do ok with the heat? And he is a good-lookin fella!

I'd like to see him next to Karen's Mercedes..........

Thanks! He's 100% newf...We've been asked that before, as I guess a lot of people don't realize they are other colors besides solid black, there are black, brown, greys, landseer's and variations with white added. And he doesn't care much for the heat. He's part time bear rug and part time foot-stool inside. He's strictly an inside dog for now. When it gets cooler we will let him stay outside some, but he will be able to get into the basement via a doggie door, it's pretty cool in there year-round and I put a window unit in there for him for warmer days. But he will always be a mostly inside dog in this climate

Sample picture of a black newf, a brown newf and a landseer - all purebred.



I had no idea they came in different colors other than black either. Big surprise when we started researching the breed. His dad is black and has a white chest and his mom is solid black. There was a female puppy who was brown and had white paws Brown and white is not recognized by the AKC as an official color of a newf, but it's possible to have one with those colors and there's nothing wrong with the dog at all.

He goes in for a weigh in tomorrow...

Should had called it Chewbacca, not Bava.

i've been around many newf's in my life... growing up around several at a time...

the funny thing is you can find slobber on the ceiling and any other place you'd expect not to find it.

HEY, Mercedes is getting there. She is now a WOPPING 3 lbs!

Bava is Italian for drool Besides, his cousin's name is Chewbacca - dont' think Auntie Ryan and Uncle Jason could have dealt too well with two Chewies

Updated with 5 month pic.. I don't think Melissa will be able to hold him for the next pic. He's approx 60lbs now.

ps: that's a great video Snoop, definetly a Newf!

haha, is that a dog or a small bear??? wowsah!

Java had her 4month check up today she was 27 pounds at 17 weeks. ummm compared to 60 that is nothing.

He does look like a baby bear in that last picture we took Thursday night
