Why You Should Consider Dry Mouth Newfoundlands As Pet

By Barbara Cook


People love thick furs because it is warm and cuddly to hold however owning one can be a little hectic. Because the owner maintains the sheen and softness of the fur. But also have to pay more to get this and not everyone can affords to own a hundred pound mutt for a longer period of time.

This animal originated from Canada and worked with many fishermen during the older days. However there are theories circulating around the dry mouth newfoundlands. In one theory it was said that this was a cross breed between the tibetan mastiff and the extinct american black wolf.

But in a nutshell owning a dog is not a simply activity because you need to learn how to care for the mutt. Dogs are easily prone to diseases because their bodies are closer to the earth. And usually they are playing in the natural environment which means their bodies are susceptible to harsher elements and microbe.

Adopting a mutt means looking carefully through several kennels and cages of old and new mutts who have been victims of various kinds of neglect. And while there are many mutt breeders who continually cross breed different types of creatures. Because they want the convenience of owning a breed that does not shed hair nor drool on their couch.

There are stories surrounding the newfie that say it worked with fishermen from a long time ago. Were carried by the viking into new worlds while another theory proposes that it was a mixture from the native wolf. However the history and development of this canine is misty but is undeniable that this animal is good for most families especially large ones.

A male newfie could stand around twenty eight inches in height and weighed between one thirty to one fifty. While the females were two inches short from the male when standing and ten pounds lower in weigh. However the newfie is found to be of sweet nature and is similar to a big teddy bear.

Aside from enjoying the company of children, but the newfie has been seen in movies like peter pan as one of the nurse maids who gives the syrup to the children before going to bed. Furthermore this type of dog loves to be around family and does not sit well with being ignored or sent outside the home. However if you are getting a pup it is important to enroll the dog in a behavioral class or take him out for walks and other meetings where it can socialize with others.

The newfie is also prone to health problems that may or may not be common to all dogs. These problems include hypoadrenocorticism, cataracts, cherry eye, heart problems, epilepsy, hip and elbow dysplasia, cystinuria, cancer, gastric torsion, and knee injury. Though not all newfies will obtain this disease and illnesses, but to be safe always make regular appointments to the vet and check the health clearances from the breeder.

Most newfies are very family oriented and cannot stand to be alone. It is not good for these animals to be left alone because they become depressed and will exhibit destructive behavior to get your attention. Furthermore enrolling this animal in classes where it can meet others is a good idea too.
