Any Newfie owners out there?

I don't have one yet, but my goal is to find a senior Newfie when I retire. There is a group in central Indiana that places older Newfoundlands for free when the dog is 8 or older. That only leaves a few years but I am drawn to senior animals. I currently have two 80 pound retrievers, but I can't wait to get a really big dog!

I had a Newfie cross that we got from the shelter. He was probably crossed witha wolfhound. Awesome dog. We, very sadly, gave him to another woman after we moved into an apartment and he didn't adjust well. Now he's living on a farm and very happy. It's a long story and I'm running out the door. I'll post pics later if you like

My next door neighbors have the sweetest Newfie. My kids just adore him.

I'm drawn to senior dogs, too! Mine was a "senior" when I adopted him and he was so easy.

I saw the biggest Bernese Mountain dog the other day. He was absolutely humongous and beautiful.

I've known a few, but never owned one. I love them and the ones I knew were just wonderful dogs! I had never seen brown ones until one day at the pet store when a couple walked around a corner with two and it took my breath away, it was like she had 2 brown bears on a leash.
