lol, is that frozen drool in the last picture? 😂
I was going to ask, too. Does he get drool icicles?
@@lisakaz35 droolcicles
Not frozen, just really viscous. Grade A, best quality heavy drool.
Probably! It's Canada, eh? 😂
@@Fangirl1327 Yeah ... it gets cold in Canada. Although Niagara Falls, Ontario is usually a little warmer than Buffalo, NY. Less snowfall, too.
A Newfie came up to us at a restaurant when we were getting food after a funeral. My grandfather had died. That dog walked right up to my mom and put his head in her lap. It was my mom’s dad that had died. I swear, that dog KNEW that my mom was sad and sought her out. The owner apologized but my mom begged the owner to let the dog stay for a bit. That good boi sat with my mom for about fifteen minutes, and it meant the world to her and to us. It was like grandpa sent that dog to keep her company after he was gone.
They can be quite empathetic creatures ❤️
That is so heartwarming.❤️❤️
Such a heartwarming story 💜
I believe it. He glued himself to my mom’s side and would not be moved until he decided that she was okay. Then and only then did he make a loop around our table to greet the rest of us, before finally leaving. My mom still talks about “the heaven dog” who made her feel better.
That’s so sweet! Also, sorry for your loss. Dogs are amazing, and smart animals.
his lil bit of tongue showing is OUTRAGEOUSLY cute!!!
That’s a good point it is cute🙂
And those droopy sad eyes
That would be called a blep and yes, it is heccin cute 🥺
I heard him panting a little bit so sweet❤️
AAAAAWWWW I freaked out when I saw that
I come from a country where they don't exist (small African island) so my first time seeing a Newf was as a university student in York. A man was walking his three black Newfoundland dogs. Within a few minutes he had attracted a small crowd and when he paused for a toilet break the dogs were greeted by what seemed like half the population of the city centre lol. The dogs just sat there peacefully while little kids clambered over them. I fell in love with the breed that day.
mru ?
Are you sure the dogs weren't walking the guy? Lol
They're such sweet fluffy bears.
Honestly that's the only part about having a newf that I don't really care for...anytime I take him to the park or ball field I get swarmed by kids and everyone wants to stop me and pet him :)
Fun Fact: when she was 19, Emily Dickinson got one of these gentle giants as a gift from her dad, to keep her company ❤
She named him Carlo and he lived to the ripe old age of 17.
I never knew this ! such an interesting fact now I want to find out what/if she has written about Carlo
@@kesh369 she has written about him in many letters and poems, like "Within my garden rides a bird" and "I started early, took my dog" 🥰
17 is practically unheard of most live to 8-10 years.
@@GotAnUmbrella some have speculated that he may have been a Lesser Newfoundland, or crossbred with a smaller dog - who are known to live longer lives - but that seems unlikely, as she describes him as "huge" and "large as myself". maybe he just lived an exceptionally comfortable and healthy life, with plenty of love and walks and poems :)
@@bdp8102 I'm sure they used to live longer back in her day also
When I was in the Air Force, there was a family two doors up from me that had a jet-black Newfie....Gandalf. My wife and I worried a little about that huge dog around our two kids....until I watched them play out back. Gandalf NEVER even growled when all the kids rode "horseyback" on him, sometimes three at time....and the dog was always....and I mean always within 20 feet of them, watching over them. If my wife ever asked me who was watching the kids, I'd just say, "Gandalf"....and she'd be happy. Such fabulous dogs.
Gandalf the Black lmao, love it!
@Dreamless Nights Gandalf the Black watches over us all lol 😂!
Ah Jim, discovering the magic of a baby-sitting Newfie is heart warming. Our black boy - Titan - was born on the same day as our neighbour's daughter and they grew up together, would sleep together in the dog's bed and were so much part of each other's lives that the little girl thought and acted like him, even sitting up for a biscuit She learned to walk holding onto his ruff, up and down the hallway until she grew tired and she would then push him down and go to sleep with her head on his chest and his foreleg protecting her. If only they could talk!
@@petermcgrath1398 that is the most adorable image, thank you for sharing that joy
They're called Nanny dogs for that reason. The dog in Peter pan was a newfie.
I love that, of all the whiskers he has, exactly TWO are bright white, and are exactly opposite each other. I don't know why, but I find that little detail delightful
It's like my cat that has a single whisker on her forehead that's white but all the others are black, idk what I find so endearing about it.
@@HerobrineTNT that sounds adorable :D
Youd love my dogs whiskers hes black and white on each half of his face with opposite coloured whiskers
A shop owner in Estes Park, CO always brought her Newfie, Poe, into work with her. Sadly the last time I went in I didn’t see Poe. Unfortunately, after a long and spoiled life, Poe had gone on to heaven. She told me that she had received over 2k sympathy cards and thousands of condolences online. What a special guy to have so many friends and admirers.
When my great grandma was about 4 or 5 years old, she was exploring her yard and fell into a creek that ran through the property. Thankfully the family's Newfie noticed and jumped in after her and managed to rescue her from the water. Had it not been for a newfie, she probably would have drowned and I wouldn't be here today, so needless to say I'm quite fond of this lovable breed :)
I don't use the N-Word for my black friends. I don't use Newfie either. Newfoundlander born and bred. Newfie is an epithet. Please.
@@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793 ????
@@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793 Newfie (or Noofie) is not an epithet. The N word is one of the worst things you can call another person. These are not remotely equivalent.

@@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793 ha.. ha… ha
When he was getting his paw pads shaved, he looks back like he's going 'Is this going to be much longer? I have to give someone a hug in half an hour'
Love Newfs
But you don’t see his face when she shaves his paw pads
@@briantannenbaum8110 probably meant when his bear claws were being trimmed
Love this comment!
My parents had a Newfoundland named Tiny. She passed away when I was about 3 but she was my babysitter when mom was working elsewhere in the room. She has a photo of me laying face first on Tiny's side napping while Tiny laid back and waited for me to wake up. She was a wonderful dog from the faintest shreds of memory I have 20 years later.
Oh wow! I'm a yr late but I couldn't resist commenting...my sister and her husband also owned a Newfoundland called Tiny here in Australia 🇦🇺she died aged 10 many years ago now ,but I'll never ever forget the impact that beautiful dog had on my life ..she basically saved me 😊
My childhood dog was a brown haired Newfoundland. She had a tail bitten off as a puppy by her mom... she really resembled a bear due to her short tail and color! We had the police officers called to our address quite a few times because people believed we had a bear in our yard. We were thankfully to have her with us for 13 years!
Boy I bet the police were relieved that it was a gentle Newfie and not a bear. Thanks for sharing.
He is just incredible. He looks as if he came right out of a fairytale, or a children's storybook illustration. Amazing.
funny you say that because, the dog in peter pan also known as the nanny is a newfoundlander!
Pongo is the name of the 101 Dalmatians, dad.
@@quisy1993 I was about to say, the dog who took care of all the children in "Peter Pan" was a Newfie named Nana, they are thought by many to be the absolutely best breed to own if have small children (and you can manage the drool)!
Peter Pan prehaps? 🙂
Indeed.
Pongo magically changed colors. Newfies truly are fantastical beasts.
I've been a Newfie all my life and I am a truly fantastical beast as well.
@@bsoc1977 Only Canadians will get how funny this is lol
@@NEbluefire presumably they assume non-canadians wouldn't understand that we call people from Newfoundland and Labrador (er...at least from Newfoundland) "Newfies" just like the dogs. Or maybe it's the fact that only Canadians know that Newfies (the people) are actually extremely friendly fish people
@@bsoc1977 I'll never forget my dad's best friend , both Newfies of course, called his wife "Me old trout", I had to leave, I was laughing so hard at the look on my moms face.
As a Newfie person I will pretend you meant all of us and not just the Newfie doggos
I love seeing the dogs in the yard after their groom. I imagine it's like Yelp for dogs, while marking the territory they leave their reviews about the experience "I like the lady but the dryer is scary" or "the massage was nice, 10/10"
The yard is where they all get to check their pee-mail. 😁
As a Newfie I am so proud our people are represented so well in the doggo world by these gentle giants. The only bad thing about them is that they have low life expectancy.
The drool isn’t the most attractive thing either..
Mine lived until 13 and would have lived longer if his mastiff brother hadn’t died first.
@@johncspine2787 There’s some people who breed the drooling out of them but I will say it gives them OTHER health problems as a result. I actually think there’s a reason for the drooling but I can’t remember what it is. Something about making it easier to release game and nets and saved sailor and such
@@lisajohnsoneinhorn3673 So sorry for the losses of your dogs. Their beautiful creatures. My friend had a French mastiff, Zelda, she was beautiful
The drooling comes from those big jowls, but that keeps water out of their mouths and helps them breathe in rough ocean water.
9 to 10 years just isn’t long enough to have with these sweet dogs 😭
Agreed 😭
I know... and usually they have muscular or bones issues as they go older. I wish my dog was still alive, but he was suffering a lot at the end of his life
bigger dogs and especially purebred suffer from these issues, if u want a long lived dog get a smaller mixed one
@@m3tamorphLoe Our condolences.
@@m3tamorphLoe I’m so sorry for your loss and I know those words seem empty because it’s multiple losses, so much grief. But I want to thank you for not letting your pet suffer. It’s the hardest decision to finally let them go but watching them in pain is the worst especially for them. Thank you ❤️
Dogs with the happy hoodie never fail to make me laugh, honestly. There's something so adorable and dorky about it! Wonderful job, as always
Much funnier when they look like they just got a hit of heroin during the blowdry though 😂
@@mnomadvfx Most of them look like confused elderly ladies at the supermarket lmfao
Love those happy hoodies! 😆
_"adorable and dorky"_
Adorkable.
@@AlbertaGeek Thanks, I KNEW there was some word that was exactly that! Adorkable pups~
My grandparents had a dog that had to be part Newfoundland, and even if he wasn't, he had the looks and the personality of one. He was the family guardian and the best hiking partner, my childhood was defined by him. He passed away in 2013, and even though we know all the stories my grandparents still tell about him, we listen to them fondly and remember Koda Bear.
Aww, what a great love for a great dog!
I'm choking back tears. I think those of us that grew up with dogs all have a "Koda Bear' in our hearts and memories. Thanks,.
Cheers to Koda Bear
I love family stories that are told again and again. It's so comforting. When my husband and I were first married, he didn't understand this tradition. He said to me..."why does your family tell the same stories? They already told me that story twice." I was a little taken aback. His family doesn't do this and so he didn't get it. After having been married over 22+ years, he no longer says, "yes...You've already told me that story," when I reminisce. He politely listens, but I still don't think he enjoys it like my family and I do. How do you explain to someone that we like to hear these stories more than once? I thought all humans did this and enjoyed it, but apparently not.
@@mygirldarby Honestly I don’t know. Sure some stories can get old, but majority of the time I want to remember them and it’s so much easier to remember a story told over and over rather than just once
When it comes to unconditional love, Newfies are at the top of the list. My boy Max wasn't just my dog, he was the whole neighborhood's dog. All you had to do was scratch his big ol' head and he was your friend forever. He never met a kid he didn't love. He passed a number of years ago and watching this video brought back so many great memories. Thanks Vanessa and Pongo 😊
Our family newfie just passed away 2 weeks ago. We miss her terribly. Lasted 12 years and was loved every minute. This video really made my heart warm on how comfortable you knew you could be around a newf. 10/10 from me!
I'm sorry for the loss of your newfie. 😔❤
Me too. 😞😞
Our beloved Newfie lived to be sixteen years seven months, he rarely barked, he didn't need to, at only hundred and thirty five pounds , all he had to do was stare. I bathed him every two months, he loved it. Almost as he loved us, and we loved him.
I love that every video the comments have really heartwarming stories about peoples experiences with the breed in the video. It always makes my day reading about peoples beloved pets
More often than not, I come away from the comments saying "I want one of those". We're not ready for another dog, yet. Our sweet dog passed last spring at 15.5 years old.
Ikr I hope one day I will have my own
Me. Too
My neighbour had an all black Newfie named Rosie. He would take her hunting in the Saskatchewan forests. She would have to wear an orange safety vest so that she would not get mistaken for a black bear. (Black bears are common in the Prince Albert region.) RIP Rosie, gentle giant.
Our neighbors had one when I was a kid. He would lie in their yard keeping an eye on me and my friends when we played. Also ready for snuggles or a nap. And very protective. I remember one time these two olde kids knocked me off my bike for fun, and suddenly this gigantic dog stood up, gave an almighty WOOF, and the two kids RAN.
"You little brats! I can drag a grown man out of the water, I certainly can drag the both of you around the block!"
Hey, thanks for making the internet a better place. Your content is just what the world needs right now
Amen
So true.
You are absolutely right
You are SO RIGHT! I made a comment that I know when I watch her videos it will always cheer up my day. She is so awesome!
This so much. Especially in these times it's a pure bright spot of dogs, the occasional cat, and love.
A family friend breeds and shows Newfs, although she paused for over a decade when there was evidence of heart troubles in her bloodlines. She recently started fresh with dogs from Italy. Anyway it used to be fall tradition to drive down to her lakeside home and socialize the Newf puppies. 10-15 bowling balls of enthusiasm. And once they were tuckered out and put to bed, we'd say hi to the grownups. There's nothing, NOTHING, like being next to a lake with 11 adult Newfoundlands (she only had one litter per year but showed many dogs). The tails! The love! The drool! I always picture Newfs in a big herd on a sunny autumn afternoon.
That sounds absolutely amazing. Wish I could have seen it hahaha.
The Newfoundland also happened to be the size of a retriever originally. It originated from the St Johns dog which gave rise to ALL retriever (golden, chesapeake, curly, labrador) dogs. It was fools that added mastiff to the breed that resulted in the overweight does nothing breed of today.
bowling ball of enthusiasm and droll to be more accurate.. and yes, they are sooooo lovely.. I still remember when my mom first saw my pup.. "is he going to be big?" me "nooo" my dad laughing is ass off.. 3 months later (at six month of age for the dog) he was already heavier than my mom (my newfy was big.. very big, he got to 155 pounds).. one day I was arriving home with the dog and my mom was like "no eh? you idiot".. but no one could separate them, even if she pretended to be scared
@@gingerbaker4579 they make great rescue dogs tho
@@gingerbaker4579 tbh I think nowadays the greatest purpose for most breeds is companionship anyway
I had the honor and sweet pleasure of meeting my neighbors Newfoundland named Steinway. He is in dog heaven. He was so beautiful, sweet and enormous. He would carry his own ball walking home. 💜💜
Aww, I saw a dog walking home with its owner the other day, carrying a balloon on a string in its mouth.
I remember living in Nova Scotia as a young child and roaming the neighbourhood with other kids the same age, around 4 or 5 years old, there were always Newfoundland dogs around and we feared running into to them because they were huge compared to us. Didn’t know at that age that they would have never done anything to us, haha.
I loved how as soon as he was clean, dry and handsome, he started the drooling.
🤣😂🤣😂
"They rarely bark."
But when they do? Hoo boy, you know about it! Beautiful, wonderful dogs!
Oh this is true, they definitely let you know they are around & you'd best listen to them.
Mine would usually give a half-hearted, "whu" rather than a full, "WOOF!", if she felt that she had to alert us.
I think she was 2 years old before my parents ever heard her voice!
When our Newfie was alive I was never afraid to take him for a walk when I got home from work,usually at one in the morning, I worked 3-11:30 as a RN. Bark? Our neighbor called it a sonic boom!
It's not a bark, it's a category three earthquake
I used to have a Newfy, his name was Bongo, he's still in my thoughts even though I lost him 40 years ago. Cheers
My male Newfie tops out at 160lbs. I'm 6' tall and can pet him without bending over. My female is only 110lbs. Lewis and Clark took a Newfie from Missouri to the Pacific and back. The original use for the Newfie was to help haul in fishing nets in the North Atlantic. Colors are Black, Lancer (black & white), Grey and Brown. Both my Newfies are brown.
Landseer ?
As a teen I was pretty sure I'd get a newfoundland some day, but recently German summers have become really hot and dry and it would be absolutely inconsiderate to own a fluffy northern bear here. Still love them to bits. Such beautiful, fluffy balls of love!
Thank you for being responsible! ❤️🐶 So many ignorant people don’t consider the climate conditions when getting a certain breed. The amount of people owning huskies in Florida for example is disheartening. I’ve seen a woman walk her very skinny and short-haired dog in -15•C during winter season where I live, he was visibly miserable and shaking from the cold and she didn’t even think to put a coat and boots on him, I regret not saying anything to her 😔. Some people just seem to lack brain cells or empathy.
@@ES11777 I agree! I can't imagine how unempatheric people must be to do that...
Me too, - wanted one, decided not fair on the dog. ( also will be adopting not shopping ). Lovely to admire in this vids tho'. Love and respect from Australia.
Thank you for being considerate
@@ES11777 Istg! I live in a country with some of the most expensive rent in the world, so as a result, apartments are small and the weather here is mildly warm. Still I see people with FUCKING ALASKAN MALAMUTES in 600 sqft houses walking them at noon in 90 degree weather like what the fuck!
I didn't know Oreos were that big! Anyway, Pongo is adorable and so cute ❤😍
Oreo is such a perfect name for a Newfoundland dog with this type of coat color.
He's a Big Stuf Oreo! 😋
I mean he's smaller than a lot of News but still impressively chonky
@@andyt2k There's another channel on here with 2 newfies and 2 golden retrievers. Charlie the golden. Oh, they also have a flat faced rat but she is like other cats and is anti-social.
Double stuff Oreo.
Our Newf actually woofed a fair amount. Pretty much anytime anyone came to the door - friend or foe. Some folks found her intimidating but we knew she just wanted to ask them for pets. 😜
Absolutely a fabulous family dog. Ours considered all of us kids her puppies. She looked after us and loved on us daily. She loved to clean our feet. Someone was assigned to brush her every day. It was a never ending task.
They are (were?) quite prone to hip dysplasia. Gotta use reputable breeders.
Pongo wagging his tail and it hitting the wall was super cute 🥺
“This is going to take a long time”
*Has flashbacks to when Stella the Newfie’s groom took 3-4 hours to complete*
Me: “Oh no…”
HELP MY!!! My muscles are too big! I am a big tall man and my muscles are even BIGGER! I use them to get views but they HURT so much!!! Because they are heavy. Do you have any advice, dear bir
This dog is so sweet that even the tip of his tongue is heartshaped.
She does those paw pads always so good!
And Pongo is GORGEOUS! I am in love 😍😍😍😍
Pongo looks a lot like my Paddington. He loves Katy his groomer and loves to be groomed. Katy uses him to keep the other dogs calm, while they wait the 3 hours for his grooming. :-)
My dog Harley passed away in October. I had her for 13 years and I miss her every day. It's hard NOT having a dog when you're so used to having one, but I'm waiting for my situation to improve before getting another dog. Your videos keep me sane in the meantime. I get my needed dosage of dogs for survival lol
I'm sorry you lost your Harley. I know what you mean by it being hard not having a dog living with you. I was without a dog for a few months after my black lab died, and I noticed a few strange things about it. My biggest realization was that I relied on my dog to "clean up" when I dropped some food while cooking. I accidentally dropped a few strands of spaghetti and was surprised that I had to pick them up rather than having my food-loving lab come running in to Hoover them up. I also realized that I had been giving my sandwich crust ends to my dog, and now I had to actually eat them, lol. Dogs are such awesome best friends. Who else would happily eat your bread crusts for you?
Mine passed in November. I had her for 15 years and a half. Missed her every day. Love every dog that I see b/c of her..
My dog was the same age and I got her when I was a kid.I miss her so much she was always there for me.
I'm really sorry about your loss. May you someday see your Harley at the rainbow bridge 🙏 Stay strong, friend.
I know that feeling. Mine passed last July almost August, 17 years old. Grew up together. Her name was Princess. It's still hard to wake up without her.
The only difference here is that my mom got me another 2-3 months later after Princess passed and let's just say it's not the best relationship, not the worst either. I think mom needed the new dog more than me tbh.
In my life I had have two newfies. The first one was when I was a toddler and Aik was the most amazing dog. He was my pony( until I got to big for him), my sled dog, my babysitter and my partner in crime. The second newfie name was Sheldon and he was amazing as well. We saved him from an nwer that kept him in his cage most of the time. He was at the time 6 months, Sheldon died suDDenly when I was in Europe to care for my sick grandfather six years ago That summer wasn't good as my grandfather passed away one week before my dog. I nevEr would have imagined that the picture I took the day before leaving whould have been his last picture. He was 6 years old at thE time
I have a 1 year old Landseer. If I could sell drool, I'd be rich haha. But outside of that, my Newf is the best pet anyone could ask for.
Thanks for the video. Lovely job on the dog.
the cutest panda ive ever seen
He's adorable
I worked for a lady who had a chow Newfoundland mix. He looked just like a black chow but the size of a newfie . made for a very impressive dog.
Oh, I bet he was beautiful!
Now I have to go Google that mix for images. lol
@@oneminuteofmyday oh he was he looked like a very large chow even had a blue black tongue. His name was Bear which was very fitting since he looked like one
@@colliemom8359How was his disposition? Chows are known to be cranky and Newfies are known to be cuddly stuffed toys, so I'm curious how a mixbreed of both behaves
@gracecalis5421 he was a very sweet laid back guy. More of a newfie temperament. Had a big ol bark tho. Just picture a black chow the size of a newfoundland. And you'll have Bear.
@@colliemom8359 That sounds like a dream. An oversized black Chow that welcomes hugs? I'd achieve nirvana just cuddling up to something like that.
Lol his tongue is so cute, it’s like an upside down heart. What a kind precious soul he is 🥰
Newfs actually have a 10-12 year lifespan. We lost our older girl at 12-1/2 years this past June but we still have our "younger" girl who is 11-1/2. Such an incredible, loving breed. Great video. 🙂
What’s not to love about a gigantic fluffy beast whose coat looks like cookies and cream.
I really love that she gives a bit of background on each breed and what they're known for
What a gorgeous coat! My favorite breed!
He's so nonchalant about the whole process. I love him!
When I was but a wee moose calf, barely a boy, my parents adopted a Newfoundland/Irish Setter mutt. He was already about four or so, I believe. He was the absolute best dog you could hope for. He lived to a good, oh, 18 years say, at a reasonably educated guess. It came time to let him go in my junior year in high school. Pongo's face is almost identical to his. This hurts.
I know your pain. We got our cat Cindy when she was about a year old, and I was 7. She spent the next 20 yrs making sure that I knew how much she loved me. I was her special girl, her kitten. I'm 58 now, and have had other cats in my life that I have had good relations with. But none of them are Cindy.
Thank you, for educating us about the different breeds and what to expect.
You are greatly appreciated.
Yes, I love her teaching us about the different breeds!
Awe, what a cuddle boy! Though that drool! My goodness, looks like he ate a tennis shoe and the laces are hanging out. But even so, such a sweet boy with beautifully loving eyes.
So handsome! I knew a couple who had two newbies. They trained the dogs to love grooming and they would jump quickly and excitedly (hilarious!!) in the tub when the owners said, "Bath time!"
Such a cool dog. My friend had his save his uncle when he had a stroke in a lake. He carried him 300 yards across a huge lake to safety! I have Cane Corsos but I've thought long and hard about getting one.
That life-saving encounter is a tear jerker. Natural tears are good for my dry eyes. 😢
Same basic size category, same dietary habits (multiple smaller meals to avoid bloat), just more floof to deal with. I'd say if you can handle Cane Corsos, you can def handle a Newfie~
😭😩❤️ugh! Hero dog!
Thank you for teaching me a new dog breed. :) Also gorgeous.
My kiddo and I took our pups to a DIY dog wash yesterday and she had the BEST time pretending she was the Girl with the Dogs and naming all the tools she got to use! We adore this channel and your work so much!
Aww this is so precious!
@@sillyladtan she has always been a huge animal lover, but she really was living her best life in there! haha!
The upside down heart his little bit of tongue out makes is simple perfection!!
The more I see your videos with them, the more I hope I can get a Newfie of my own one day. Both I've seen featured so far have just made my heart melt.
A friend of mine has two 'Newfies' that enjoy dancing with their human couple. I was invited to their home for a meal and when it came time to leave, I hugged my hostess and apparently, that was the signal to start dancing! The youngest one stood on her hind legs and leaned on my back when my friend suddenly realized what was happening. Poor baby didn't know why dancing was suddenly not allowed. Sweet, sweet dogs!
I don't use the N-Word for my black friends. I don't use Newfie either. Newfoundlander born and bred. Newfie is an epithet. Please.
Newfie

@@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793
Wtf ?
When I was a really young child, my uncle had a solid black Newfoundland. Her favorite toy was a 12lb bowling ball. Other than two heavily-monitored times, my mother never let me get close to the dog. I had assumed it was because she thought the dog was dangerous, but no -- that big Newf didn't have a mean bone in her body. I just wasn't allowed near her out of fear that she'd knock me over with her sheer size. I get the worry, but come on, the most activity I ever saw the dog do was lazily, half-assedly push the bowling ball with her nose and then watch it as it rolled away.
She was saving up all of her energy for hugs.
I have a 14 month old Landseer Newfie. Ichinojo spends most of his time outdoors, but nonetheless my floors are perpetually covered in black and white hair 😆 I've always towel dried him and hand brushed him, but after seeing this video I'm going to get an air dryer like you've got - it'll do both the drying and a lot of the brushing!
1:17 😊 I love how Pongo is all like, "Yeah, that's the spot! Keep it going, lady!"
I absolutely adore this breed, every one I've met has been just the biggest sweetheart. In my Animal Care college a lot of tutors would occasionally bring their dogs in (dog walking was part of the course), and one time a tutor brought in her 4 year old Newfie. He was the sweetest boy in the world, spent the whole class just laying sprawled out across the floor, happy to anyone who stood up, wagged his tail and asked for pets. Incredibly sad that he passed away shortly after around 5 years old to intestine problems which are somewhat common with the breed
The Newfoundland also happened to be the size of a retriever originally. It originated from the St Johns dog which gave rise to ALL retriever (golden, chesapeake, curly, labrador) dogs. It was fools that added mastiff to the breed that resulted in the overweight does nothing breed of today.
Newfoundland's were always a dog I'd love to have but I currently live in Texas and don't want them to deal with the heat when I myself hate it. If I ever move back to Germany, I would love one. They're just so sweet and cuddly 🥰
I had a Lancear named Benny for almost all my life, we had to put him down in November and I really miss him. But seeing this dog reminds me of him fondly these are my most favourite dog breeds
What a sweetheart - and he is so beautiful!!
My cousin had a black Newfie dog named Balou.... so gentle, so fun, passed away at age 12-13. He was a great dog. Love your channel.
I was out walking a few weeks ago and met a newfie who was verf friendly. Thing was his black & white colouring made him look like a panda beer from behind...& there's a zoo wt panda's not far awau. So i initally had to do a double take & wonder if this was an escaped giant panda!
I don't use the N-Word for my black friends. I don't use Newfie either. Newfoundlander born and bred. Newfie is an epithet. Please.
@@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793 bruh chill
@@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793 Good point. I have worked with Newfoundlanders all my military career (24 years in the RCN). I did not try to insult anyone but I get what you are saying...
When I was a young child there was a newfy tied to a heavy chain outside a house in the neighborhood. A very neglected boy, always filthy, his water was almost always filled with bugs and he would be outside all winter and summer. And in upstate NY that means -20 winter and 100+ at the two extremes, might’ve frozen to death if he wasn’t a Newfie. But despite those conditions he was the sweetest boy and would Wag his tail at any kid that would ride their bike over to visit him and he’d greet everyone with kisses. Wish I knew about reporting animal abuse but I didn’t so the best I did for him was bring him treatos. One day he disappeared hopefully someone brought him to a loving family but my theory is lime disease finally got him.
You kids visiting him was likely the highlight of the day for him
Fr, that was extra heartbreaking to read. Wherever he is right now, I hope he's in a much better place 💕
I only found your channel just a few weeks ago. I will be 70 this year and don’t know how much longer I have. I am an animal lover and although I can no longer have a pet, I am grateful for the ones I had and still miss them. I hope that in my next life, I get to be a pet groomer just like you. I think you may my spirit animal lol. ❤
I had a beautiful mixed one, all black, long coat, very gentle, easily went over my six foot fences...He stopped an aggressive young pit bull just by sitting on him. Loved him and still miss him 25 years later
Our Newfie, Captain, is the best good boy. He quite literally takes care of the kids like a nanny.

@@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793 whomst?
My sweet Newfie girl is at her groomer right now. She’s the best dog I’ve ever had. Absolutely the sweetest good girl ever.
aaw she looks so sweet in your profile picture

@@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793 its literally a dog pls stop
Newfoundland dogs are also wonderful as therapy dogs for hospitals.
I wish there was a groomer like you near where I live for my 11-year-old Newfie. She deserves a spa day.
Aaahhh! I love newfies! And I love Pongo! Fun fact: in James Barrie's _Peter Pan,_ Nana was a landseer newfoundland. It was Disney that made her a St. Bernard for some reason.
St. Bernards are probably /much/ easier to find.
I visited NF some years back and asked about seeing Newfoundland dogs. There was one at St. John's on the east coast for the tourist boats, he was busy. There was one who lived up in the north by L'Anse aux Meadows, but when we got there they said she was visiting the one in St. John's! As there's not much fishing there anymore, there are many more Newfs in the U.S. than in NF.
The one I knew, he had visited a lot when a "puppy", that is less than 80 lbs or so.... I saw him a couple of years later, and on recognizing me he ran over then submissively flopped onto his back for a tummy scratch, all 150 lbs of him! 😍 Fantastic dog, taken by cancer at age 9.
@@pault151 What do you mean, "easier to find"? _Peter Pan_ was *_animated!_*
Sorry to hear about the poor sweet thing passing. Still, 9 years isn't too bad for a breed that size.
@@AlbertaGeek ooops, 🤭 I don't know the various versions, thought the reference was to one of the live actor Pan versions.
There may well be dogs of this breed that have lasted 17 y, like some are claiming, I find it hard to believe. In any case their shorter lives are indeed unfortunate.
@@pault151 Oh, apart from the 1954 Broadway stage production starring Mary Martin (mother of Larry Hagman of _I Dream of Jeannie_ and _Dallas_ fame), I didn't know there were live versions.
Yeah, their shorter lifespan is tragic. I guess that's why they call the larger dogs the "heartbreak breeds" - because they're taken from us so earlier. Welp, all we can do is try to give them as much love as they effortlessly give us.
Guys I love Pongo, he has the dopiest smile
What a gentle giant!!such a good boy is Pongo ❤🐕
Newfie dogs are so gentle and sweet, im from Nova Scotia and see many of them around and it’s amazing seeing bear like dogs walking about.
I never knew those dogs had that color of coat. I've only seen them in solid colors. Thanks for showing him.
Only 10 years of life expectancy? A true heartbreak breed. So unfair how bigger dogs live shorter lives 😢
right 😭 i would break at that time I think the only saving (?) chance is mixing the dogs breed, dogs who are more pure bred imo have a lot of health problems
Not all giant dogs live short lives just look at Livestock Guardian Dog breeds. LGDs live into double digits as a rule. They are bred for function and their age reflects that.
i do wish they could live as long as the tiny breeds. but the time we have with them is precious and worth every second, and even worth the inevitable heartbreak! my sweet newfoundland is 10 and has an extremely good bill of health from the vet, and his mom lived to be over 12. so it really depends :) sometimes they can even be 13 or 14. its rare but possible.
From my understanding. Large dog breads allot of times shrunk down to very small numbers and then were saved or recreated by entbusiasts from very limited gene pools leading to short life spans. Great danes and irish wold hounds are good examples of this. If you look at large dog breeds that didnt have this issue like tibetan mastiffs they have much longer life spans. Sorry for any typos
@Failed Society Our Newfie lived to be sixteen year and seven months, only had minor health problems. We miss him to this day.
pawmygawsh. He is SO deliriously cute! His widdle tongue hangin out, waggin his tail.......his temperament is indeed a gentle giant. We love you buddy! Big hugs from Seattle!!!
His face in the bath was everything 🤣
Favourite game: guessing the cute alliterative name given to the pet at the end. I got "Precious Pongo" today!
My guess was poofy Pongo 🤷♀️
The Newfoundland dog was originally bred as a working dog in Newfoundland, an island off the East Coast of Canada. The name might not get points for originality, but it gives you some insight into the climate these dogs were bred for. Since Newfoundland is surrounded by the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the second fact in this list will come as no surprise.
But we won’t get into any human Newfie jokes, right?! ;-)
I read this in her voice
I'd love a Newfie so much, but I'm not sure how much they would care for the heat of Louisiana XD
@@bunsnroses3734 the fact that you have the intelligence to even ponder that question is amazing, but they probably wouldn’t at all 💀
The Newfoundland also happened to be the size of a retriever originally. It originated from the St Johns dog which gave rise to ALL retriever (golden, chesapeake, curly, labrador) dogs. It was fools that added mastiff to the breed that resulted in the overweight does nothing breed of today.
Pongo you are a credit to your breed and it was such a pleasure to watch you have your grooming session. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your day and I think with your attitude, nothing will phase you.
My parents have two Newfies. They've always had Rottweilers in the past. I didn't know dogs could be SO gentle until they came into our house. They are great, great swimmers and they love long walks, but they are laying around snoozing for at least 18 hours a day if not more.
They are the first dog breed I've ever met where I am geniunely 100% certain they could never snap and turn aggressive on me. They have a mouth big enough to fit around my skull and a jaw strong enough to crush it, but they are just all about that love hahaha
HE'S SO BIG AND FLUFFY!!! 😻🙀😻
3:30 Yup. No one can resist that hug with the biggest cute that is the Newfie.
What a sweetie. Really enjoying that blow dryer.
I’ve never seen a Newfie in any color but black. He’s beautiful!
“Big, fluffy beast, whose purpose is to keep you safe….” Yes, please.
I love Newfies!! They are giant teddy bears!! ❤️🐶
Newfies are just cuddleballs! Gorgeous pupper
My heart can't take it! That face is just so precious
It would be silly to drive all the way to Canada to have my dog be groomed by her, right? Right?
No
It would be silly _not_ to! :)
If you made it a fun road trip/vacation, maybe not.
I'm considering a trip from Denmark 😅 would love to see if she can handle my grumpy boi
Just tell the border service that it is Essential that you need very much this special care!
My grandparents bred Newfoundlands and had the Pack. The most they had at once was, I believe, 12 dogs. There’s actually a video of the dogs getting into a pool here on RUclips
Why don't you give us a link, you monster!
@@Fandartmartiaux 😊
You're a very fortunate human if you've been blessed to have a newfie in your life. They're truly amazing animals.
He’s so well behaved and you can tell he’s feeling himself after.
