Any other Newfoundland owners here?

pawrick

Just asking as I never see any where I live and most people seem to think my Landseer is a cross between a sheepdog and a St. Bernard due to the size and colour.

If anyone else here has one please share some pics, I've posted some of my dog Holly in the past along with my parrotlets and probably some of the cats although thanks to the TNR work I seem to now have alot more compared to a year ago. Will post some pics later when i get home.

Ah wow nothing like a Landseer! There was a newf meet up in St Annes a while back when we were there one Sunday morning - loads of them!! There's only one I know of that gets walked in our park and I know two people who have them. I'd love one

Oh I have a Parrotlet. Gorgeous little tiny T Rex that she is.

thanks, I'll give it a look tomorrow and try to add more of my other pets, photobucket brought in a cap since i last used it.
I'd love to get another newfie as they are such lovely dogs.

I saw a 60KG brown Newfy on Tuesday at the vet in Drogheda. Beautiful dog, make my two 35&40KG Old English Sheepdogs look tiny

That's a big dog I assume it's a male, mine is a female so naturally smaller. She is consistently hitting 44kg on the scales. I don't want her getting too heavy to avoid possible joint problems later in life so I'm careful to monitor her food and weight. She looks right for her size imo.
Old English sheep dogs are lovely, a neighbour I see out walking occasionally has one, gorgeous looking dog.

Ah thanks! Think my wife wants a Newfy to add to the gang, think we need a bigger house! 44kgs is definitely manageable. Any photos of her?

Holly and her favourite cat - these two go around the house together


And the rest of the gang (most of them anyhow), all the cats are rescues and have been neutered/spayed







I have no good pics of my other parrotlet, she's an albino - I've had them over 5 years at this stage

Are your parrotlets tame? I have a green pied female. She is so funny. Will put up a pic later. Getting ready for the Pets Expo now as I have a stand

The blue one is hand reared and tame, the white one is a like a piranha as she wasn't. I attempted to tame her when I got her which worked a little but I can never easily hold her without getting nipped. The blue one used to fly after a small ball I'd throw like fetch but without the fetch bit. He's incredibly tame although he does try to nip the dogs nose if she sticks it too close to the cage.

What have you in the stand? I went last year for a look around but haven't made the trip up this time around.

Mine is hand reared. I would only get a hand reared one. Very difficult to handle otherwise. She can imitate kisses and is silly tame. She would nip the dogs too. They would kill her.

I have the Border Terrier Stand.

Yep I wouldn't recommend anyone buying a parrot unless it's been hand reared. I mostly got her because I knew the breeder had no interest in her as she was an albino and I wanted a second parrotlet. Her and blue are great together and are inseparable now.

I always used to have terriers but my gf wasnt keen on getting one with the cats no matter how much I tried to change her mind hence the newfie. I would have loved to have had a glen of imaal terrier but really any would have done as they all have such great character.

enjoy the petexpo!

Cute parrotlet! I have a conure, very chatty and cuddly, she's my little love bug

Knine

Parrotlets are tiny. Even smaller then a budgie. Be very careful keeping too together. My friends male killed the female after 6 years together. They are the terriers of the Parrot world. Would not be without one though

Two St Bernard's and a Newfy! Wow...

Get something grain free, Orijen, Arden Grange, Acana etc.. make sure that you're feeding them quality food with decent meat content.
