The Newfoundland should have been casted for “Baywatch”. This is because they are known to be excellent water rescue dogs due to their innate swimming abilities. It is very important to keep these lifesavers healthy and in tip top shape so that they can continue their noble duties. Here are some health issues Newfoundlands may encounter and how you can prevent them:

Cystinuria

This condition is described as the formation of stones in the dog’s bladder. It can be detected primarily through blood in the dog’s urine. Prevention of cystinuria involves adequate water intake of your Newfoundland. Make sure to adjust the dog’s diet by reducing salt and protein intake. Providing supplemental citrate (acidic substance to lower the alkalinity of the urine) may be done as well but must be consulted with a veterinarian first.

Dysplasia

In layman’s term, it is called joint dislocation. This happens when the bone is displaced from the socket of the joint, commonly the hips and elbows. Dysplasia causes difficulty in walking and is painful to the dog. Avoiding this condition would be to manage the Newfoundland’s size and weight. Adjustments to the diet must be done by avoiding high calorie and fat foods. Burning excess calories can be done through exercise such as brisk walking and of course, swimming.

Subvalvular Aortic Stenosis

SAS is a congenital heart problem that involves defective heart valves. It is very fatal to the dog so the first thing to do would to have your Newfoundland puppies checked by the vet for heart murmurs. If your dog is diagnosed to have this condition, a lifestyle change for the dog is a priority. Unfortunately, strenuous activities such as running or swimming are prohibited because these may overwork the heart and may lead to cardiac arrest. Balanced diet is a requirement too. Regular check-ups are required to detect progression and give proper treatment.

The most famous appearance of this dog breed was in the romantic comedy movie Must Love Dogs and it is based on Claire Cook’s book. The story begins with a 40 year old preschool teacher Sarah Nolan who is forced by her family to go back into the dating world. Her sister places a personal ad on a dating site with the quote: “must love dogs”. She doesn’t even consider that Sarah doesn’t own a dog. As a result of this Sarah goes on a tremendous amount of disastrous dates.

Finally, Sarah dates Jake Anderson in a park, who was also recently divorced, and this encounter seems to be different. Jake shows up with a borrowed Newfoundland and the romance begins. Jake tries to ask questions regarding Sarah’s profile, but he offends her. Soon afterwards Sarah finds out that Jake fakes that he is a dog owner and tells him that he is fake, but agrees to meet him again.

We can see in this movie that this breed has a gentle, friendly and loyal temperament with a massive and strong appearance.

If you would like to have a gentle, friendly and yet massive and strong friend who will be also very loyal to you, then a Newfoundland is the right choice for you. Never mind if you live alone or have a big family, this dog will be one of the best options, since Newfies also love children and are very sweet and elegant. Some people say that this breed is one of the friendliest dogs in the world.

This breed can make good watchdogs and they also have excellent protection ability since they will always protect their family in any danger that appears to be threatening the members. Newfoundlands are good in an apartment as well, but because of their big size, the best is if you can provide them at least a small yard to play – although these dogs are not too active and they tend to be lazy sometimes. They are slightly hard to be trained, since they are very sensitive and are likely not to respond to harsh and inconsistent training.

This dog has a (mostly) black, double coat that is medium in length and have an oily touch. They are heavy shedders – mostly in spring and autumn -, so daily care of the hair is needed.

All in all, if you would like to choose a Newfoundland you will have a very kind and devoted friend who will love and defend you and your family at all cost.

I hope that this short article will help you decide in choosing your ideal companion.

The Newfy is mostly known for its enormous size and enormous love. It is a very friendly breed, which requires a lot of attention, time and space. You should only get a Newfoundland if you can provide him a fenced yard, daily exercise and walk. They are very social, so, even though they have a high energy level, they won’t do exercise on their own, you have take time to play with them. Their beautiful fur needs a lot of attention too: they shed heavily, so should be brushed every second day. Last, but not least, you should only have a Newfy if you don’t mind the drooling, as this breed does it quite a lot.
If you think you are able to handle all what it takes to have a happy and healthy Newfy, it is sure that you’ll get back so much love and affection that you haven’t thought before.
