Luka-pop Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 Hey newfiemom and everybody! Look at this really cute pic from a Pedigree ad! Quote
courtnek Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 aawwwwwww! That's so sweet -I hope she doesnt try to walk him!! He looks a little big for her to handle.... I have a friend who was at one time a client where I work. He bred Newfies, and he sent me a Christmas card one year with him his wife, their daughter and the two Newfies. Seeing the people with the dogs gives you a real good perspective on how BIG they are!! If I remember correctly they were named Sassy and Griz..... They are so HUGE, yet they looked SO gentle in the picture..... Quote
courtnek Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 I LOVE the Mas commercial!! Especially the end when he's dragging the guy around! I crack up everytime I see it. It takes a LOT of good, strong, teeth to DRAG a sailboat through water with people hanging on to it!! The strength of that dog is incredible.... and he jumps from a helicopter, no less!! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 I want a newf, I want a newf, I want a newf. I was home sick this past week for three days and watched Animal Planet the whole time. Breed All About It had newfs on one day. I'd seen it before but couldn't resist seeing it again! Those puppies are HUGE!!! But so adorable..... I want a newf, I want a newf, I want a newf. Quote
Cheetah Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 Also, I heard that they went through something like 8 lassies...and they were all boys! (or at least some of them were, i'm not sure if they all were) Just an interesting, random fact. Quote
courtnek Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 All the Lassies were boys. According to an article I read the males were better in a camera situation, they are calmer and less likely to "spook" then the female collies. For some reason the females they tried couldnt take the camera's and lights. SHY? LOL I was devastated - all that time I thought Lassie was a female... :D OK, I'm dating myself, but I remember all those old shows. I watched them all the time - Lassie was THE dog to have in my opinion.... Quote
Carolk9s Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 I had heard another reason as well as to why all males were used for Lassie, the females blow their coats out in a bigger way due to coming in season. I know Belgian girlies can get quite nekkid at times. Quote
courtnek Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 :oops: I must have gender issues.... thanks Quote

courtnek Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 LOL - you want a LAB experience too? They run off, they lick incessantly, the male cant drink without leaving a trail of water behind him.... all in all - I wouldnt give them up. I love them dearly. I might let you borrow them tho, just for the experience.... :D Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 Thanks but no thanks! :lol: My sister has two black labs so I have PLENTY of experience with the breed! :lol: Quote
bk_blue Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 I remember when I was younger Dad took me to one of his friend's houses for dinner and they had a Newf. Maybe because I was only 12 or so at the time, but this Newf was *massive*! He was the width of the kitchen table and could barely fit under it, he was so big. :o Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 Stealing your laundry. That's a riot! I can't talk though....you should see the things I find in my back yard...duct tape, a measuring cup, tupperware glasses, mutilated Barbies, plastic pop bottles, DVDs, CDs, but no laundry YET..... :roll: Quote
bk_blue Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 *mutters* at least your dogs didn't start chewing up your house! :-? Quote

I had a malamute/bordie collie Mix (Jarvis) that chewed up my kitchen... I lived in a town house at the time, and when he was a puppie we confined him to the kitchen (tile floor) during housebreaking.... He decided he wanted out one day, couldnt get past the gate, so chewed up the side of the cabinet on the floor...(he had chew toys in there) chewed up enough of it that he could squeeze by the gate and get out.....

Oooh! I bet that was fun to come home to. :roll: We once had a very large yellow dog named Yogi who chewed up 4 kitchen chairs and all the woodwork at the base of two doorways. He was adopted from our local shelter and this was his only bad habit. He would look right at you, turn his head sideways to clamp onto the wood, roll his eyes and start chewing! :o Quote
courtnek Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 oohhh yea..... We ought to start a thread called "horror stories" and tell all our tales... :D Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 What a big beauty! I saw that add before, I had it on my wall for a while, although that was the wall Hazel ripped everything off of :roll: We had a Newf when I was REAL little. My mom told me about how she went shopping, came back, was fiddling with the keys to the door so she put me (in my car seat thing) on the step. Once she got the door open Belle (the newf) came FLYING out of the house, and knocked me over! :o Luckly the seat had a curve around the head sorta thing, so I wasn't "damaged" :lol: Quote
yellowlabsrule Posted February 3, 2003 Posted February 3, 2003 :lol: I wonder if that little girl could ride that newfie! :lol: Quote
Luka-pop Posted February 3, 2003 Author Posted February 3, 2003 That would be cute... seeing a little girl on such a big gentle dog. It looks nice cuz the picture is black and white, not color. It's also nice that the girl isn't facing the camera. It adds that "mood," I can't explain it... Quote
