How are newfs as family pets?
Prepare to be drooled on.
If you don't mind cleaning up lots and lots of drool and paying for obedience lessons so they don't drag you, yes.
And you have to have a pool, because they need to swim.
if you like big, stupid, adorable droolmonsters then fairly good
very lovable and loyal, but yes, training is necessary. Also, regular grooming/haircuts. Shag carpets on legs, tend to shed heavily.
Make sure you take them swimming a lot.
>>314890To elaborate on this, there are also a lot of grooming salons that refuse to take Newfies due to the sheer amount of work that needs to be put into them. Be prepared to shell out a LOT when you get them groomed.
