Our Newfoundland dog named Odin decided to jump into the hot tub with the kids (Logan and Zack) and swim in circles. Odin is 8 months old. He loves to swim ...
Quick question, can you have a Newfie in a larger apartment? I really want
a dog and thinking about buying a Newfie after reading about them and
stuff. But the prob is the dog is big and i live in a apartment in the city
so i dont have that close to the beach and stuff if it want to swim! But i
got a large balchony 2! So what do you guys think, otherwise can you
recomend a rase that is similar to the Newfie but that can live in a
apartment. Im a extreme dude so i love snowboarding btw!
@kevlaurtube Cool, thanks bro! Well in summers i often go to the beach alot
and do some wakeboarding and in the winters i do alot of snowboarding so
can the dog join me to the beach and the mountains? What i've been reading
Newfies like water (ofc) and also snow? But once again i want whats best
for the dog thats why im not sure of getting one even though it feels like
the perfect choice for me, cause once again i live in a apartment! But you
think that it will not be any prob?
I know your comment is already a year old but one i'll still give my two
cents, Having a Newfie in an apartment is fine, especially aslong as its
alittle bigger, what you should make sure is that your apartment house does
have an elevator as Newfies often get hip or joint problem and running up
or down a long flight of stairs will make it a lot worse, worst case
scenario is that the pain a newfie may have will force you to put it down
years before you otherwise would have.
@FunOrNotFun They are not very active dogs. They lay around most of the
time unless if they get excited. Its more important to keep them cool in
the summer. I recommend the Wahl KM2 clippers and two 3/8" #4 skip tooth
blades. The skip tooth blades are much better at cutting through the
undercoat. Get two of them because then you can swap blades when one gets
hot. The clippers go for $99 and the blades can be had new on ebay for
around $30 apiece. Total of around $160.
Some of you need to lighten up on the dad and understand where he's coming
from before you start criticizing. He just told the kids to watch for the
dog's paws, not to be afraid of the dog. I water train my newf & my legs
are one big bruise all summer long. As strong as they are, one accidental
rake down the leg with their claws & you're bruised for days. The dog could
be gentle as a mouse and still accidentally get you with it's claws.
that dad shouldn't act nervous when his kid is near animals cause then his
kids will be nervous around animals. i mean i have a newfoundland and i
would never tell anybody to keep away from him cause it makes ppl think
they're not a friendly breed or that they would hurt u when they wouldn't.
peole need to relax and let ur kids jump all over the dog if they want to
cause its fun and a great way to keep the kids off ur back :-)ha
I've got a question about this breed. When they're young, do they look a
bit like Labs before they get tht huge, fluffy pelt? A friend thought they
were getting a lab puppy, but he's WAY bgger than any lab would get and
he's got the huge newfie pelt now. He's only two years old and as large as
a mini pony! They have made the mistake with their St. John's Dog too.
Could they have mistaken a newfie for a lab?
Dogs are cooler than cats...but we have 2 of them to go with the two dogs.
They all get along. We have taken Odin to a lake several times and he
';heards' everyone swimming with him there as well. Lucy, the other newfie,
doesn't really care for the water...weird. Newfs are sweet...but those paws
can get you. They don't know their own strength all the time..especially
when swimming.
OK, to the people who said that the newfie paws wouldnt hurt the child...
you have obviously never swam in a lake with a newfie before. Yes, newfies
are extremely gentile and good with kids, but when they are swimming their
limbs thrust with great force. I am full grown male and they have left
bruises on my chest from being in front of them while they swam.
@SummerTheFuzzy : what a silly comparison... Cats and dogs ? It's like
comparing which is better milk or strawberries - no connection whatsoever.
Also, look up the word "specieism" - equivalent to "racism" against a
species. I have both cats and dogs, they are different species with each
their own beauty and needs. All are fluffy and cuddling : )
@Shepard033 They shed but because of their personality and the general fun
they bring to our daily lives....it is worth vacuuming and mopping every
day of my life....and washing walls....at least one a day....and brushing
them at least every other day in winter and every single day in spring and
summer...they are worth it.
I have to agree with ralphyization on this. Getting a dog means adjusting
your life to suit its needs. For newfs, that means long walks every day and
easy access to water. They are indeed an active and social breed if given
the chance. I grew up with them and love them but could never have one in
good conscience.
My newfie loves, loves, loves the snow, but the snow can get compacted
between its toes. Maybe if you got it booties it would help. I think the
dog would be fine in an apartment as long as you have A/C in the summer and
give it three decent walks a day. :) good luck, they are an incredible
breed.
@kauxkaux Like any puppy, the first few months there are accidents, but
both our newfies were very easy to train. The best way for any dog is to
make them sleep in a kennel for the first 6-8 months. I also hung sleigh
bells on the back door and trained them to ring the bells to go outside.
@kevlaurtube okey it's a long time since you is but i just came to think
about huskeys and malamutes? i got problems believing that their paws will
get frost bitten in such a short time as 20-30 minutes.. Look at wolves
their outside all year i don't hear them complaining either? :D
I just got put on a wait list today to get a newf. I'm soooo excited. I've
been itching for one for over 2 years, finally about to graduate so I can
finally have one. :) These two are adorable especially mister adventure. I
plan on putting mine through water training!
@ralphyization I didn't mean to insult, I just think it would be really
hard to keep the dog happy in that environment. That's all. If you're super
dedicated, I guess it could happen. I just know how much my doofus likes to
play out side. That's all....
Oh yeah totally. My family used to have one and he was practically my
brother. He was great around kids, fun to play with, but smart enough to
know when something wasn't right. They're a little messy but totally worth
the effort.
wow the father needs to chill...its not like the kid meant to get near his
paws, he was just having fun, and newfs know how big they are, and they kno
their limits, I wouldnt worry about them hurting the kids in any way.
@AnthonyFamiglietti I recommend getting a male newf.... i know it sounds
strange but our female is a little timid of the water. She will happily get
wet, but wont dive into it like our male newfie does...
@kevlaurtube thank you for answering....What breed do you think he might
be? He started smooth, but he's already the size of a small horse and is
very thick furred now. Could he be a pyrinese(sp)?
@kevlaurtube Awesome!! Thanks bro! Last question, i do alot of extreme
sports do you think a newfie could join me to the mountains and
snowboarding and to the beach and do some wakeboarding?
@FunOrNotFun yes newfies are built for cold weather.Should be fine in a
apartment as long as it is walked daily,however you need to keep them cool
as they are not used to hot climates.
We keep the hot tub heat off during the summer...so it was very cool.. This
was the one and only time we let him in the tub. We also shave the Newfies
short for the summer months.
Not smart to let him in there he has alot of fur an excessive heat like
that is bad for them since they have a higher heart rate than us . So ya
for the love of your dog
@FunOrNotFun I think a newfie could be fine in an apartment. They are not
very active. But I also think its much easier to own a fenced in back yard
with a dog door....
@FunOrNotFun I use to have a ski boat and the dogs did fine on it. I would
not take a dog to the snowy mountains. Any dogs paws will get frost bitten
after 20-30 min.
you shouldnt own this dog unless you have a pool, and keeping a dog that
size in ur apartment is silly they may not be active but theyre big and
they need space
@Wolfgirl2help I highly doubt a newfie puppy could be mistaken for a lab
puppy. Newfie pups are VERY fluffy, lab pups are VERY smooth coat in
comparison.
newfoundlands were bread to retrieve things from the water so maybe he was
trying to save the them cause he thought they werent in there on purpose
