What do you wish people knew about Newfoundlands before bringing one home?

That they are a full time commitment and those cute little fluffy puppies will quickly grow to giant dogs that shed and drool all over house. They are a breed that is happiest when they are with their family. They require daily care and love. If they get sick you can expect giant vet bills.

Why do you love Newfoundlands?

I love the their sweet temperament and goofiness.

Anything else you want to say?

A Newfoundland dog is not for everyone. There’s a saying,, “Newfoundland. Not just a dog it’s lifestyle” and that couldn’t be more true. Newfies will change your life.

If you want to keep up with Sherman and Leroy, follow My Brown Newfies on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Hope you learned something new about Newfoundlands and check back next week for another giant breed!

We used to have to get him sedated for sanitary trims, but a few months ago we were able to switch to Clonidine and do them ourselves. We’ve been gradually reducing the dosage, and today, he had his first trim with ZERO drugs and ZERO growling 🙌🙌
