Information Surrounding The Newfie Puppies

By Andrew Morgan


Man reserves the right to take charge of various aspects that surround other animals. Not only are they required to feed them, but they are also supposed to ensure that they are sheltered and protected against their enemies. In turn, domestic animals ensure that they supply us with food, they protect us when we are in danger and they provide companionship to us. A case example is the newfie puppies.

As usual, whenever a dog gives birth to a puppy, their natural instinct would be to eat them. However, this can be prevented by ensuring that the mother dog is properly fed. This would help the mother dog in ensuring that they breastfeed their puppies. Later on, they can get weaned using solid food to supplement breast milk from the mother. The mother can choose to continue breastfeeding them for purposes of comfort only.

Sometime ago in a place known as Newfoundland, in Canada was a puppy bearing the names of Newfie. They are a mixture of Viking dogs and mastiffs originally from Portuguese fishermen. Their ability to swim in cold waters makes them more relevant to fishermen. The dogs helped in rescue of sailors who had fallen overboard. The most notable contribution they have made is saving their leader called Napoleon Bonaparte from Elba.

According to size, they weigh between 50-69 kg and record an average height of 56-76cm. This means that it is relatively big dog. In addition, they are characterized by possessing broad head, small, deep set eyes, webbed feet, and triangular ears.

The puppies are considered highly intelligent as they are easy to train. Not only do they respond well to command, but they are also quite obedient. They are more useful at a young age. Tricks come in the form of walking by your side, sitting or standing up. In addition, it must be able to respond to the tone in your voice.

One is supposed to ensure that they subject the animal through regular baths to maintain their hygiene. If they do so, they are less likely to encounter cases of pest infestation. In addition, they prevent skin from rashes. A person who takes this into consideration is believed to love their dog as much as they love themselves.

Newfie is a cheap breed to buy. However, this does not mean that cost of training and feeding them comes cheap. They are capable of becoming very intelligent if you involve them in leadership skills. Large dogs are costly to maintain as they as they require large meals and occasional medical upkeep. The amount of anesthesia and medications is given in proportion to the body weight.

As much as these puppies are not the most attractive, they are very handy when it comes to fulfilling certain assignments. Not only are they quick in adapting specific tricks but they also adapt very leadership qualities. During the olden times, they were used in fishing and rescuing of sailors who had fallen overboard. Needless to say, these dogs are the best when it comes to completing outdoor activities.
