Hi, i was reading yoru sig. please please tell me someone didnt think a newfie was a POODLE!!!! LMAO

black SB i can see. my moms negibors when i was growing up had a newfie i thought she was a black SB till i asked them..LOL

i guess newf and SB is like collie and sheltie. sometimes they seem same breed unless you have owned one. LOL
looking at a pic i couldnt tell a collie and a sheltie apart (unless they were next to something where i could tell the size..lol)

do you have any pics of your newfies?
they are wonderfull dogs. our negibors was great she was a BIG BIG BIG LOVER! all she did was drool and give kisses.

Yes, I swear someone asked me if they were poodles. I almost died!!! Actually, there are alot of differences between Saints and newfs. Newfs should have tighter eyes, longer hair, have longer muzzles, are generally larger, and have somewhat tighter mouths. All of mine drool. I wishing I could post pictures but I don't have a digital camera or a scanner. I spend all of my money on my newfs and am a firm believer in minimal technology in my life. I don't even own a cellphone.

No Cellphone??? *falls outta chair*

lol Jk.. i wish i didn't have a cell phoen sometimes!

Here are some pictures of my 4 Newfoundland dogs. I had to have ellieangel post my pictures of my dogs as I don't have that skill :lol:
I have never had any one ever mistake my Newf's for a poodle :lol: I have had them mistaken for black bears, but, never another breed of dog.

My Newf's are not what the breed "should" look like. My Newf's have the big pumpkin head look which seems to be what the dog shows are looking for right now.

newfiemom,
It's strange how people could mistake a Newf for a sheepdog or a poodle...but, then again I had one vet tech argue with me about my Dobie mix Beau...she "told" me he was a Rhodesian Ridgeback :roll: I just didn't know what to say. First off, we do not have a heck of alot of Ridgebacks in our area..its rare to even see them at the shows in my area.

It's funny how many Newf's we have come in for grooming which when they arrive turn out to be border collie mixs :lol: this really ticks the owner of the grooming facility off as she usually books off about 4 hours for a Newfoundland dog...the border collie only takes about 2 hours..and she brings in extra help for a Newf as she needs 2 people on one Newf to blow dry the dog.
