I love Newfoundlands. They really are giant pets, affectionate,
sometimes smart, playfull, all of the things that I like in dogs.
There are two problems with them that most folks don't take into
consideration.

The first thing is that they like to lean against people. This is fine
when the Newf is a pup, but when it gets full grown, it gets heavy.
The solution here is to not allow it to lean when it is a pup.

The second thing is that they have a heavy coat, and you really have
to be careful about gathering up the hair that they shed. A friend's
father swears that the hair is responsible for the death of several
refrigerators, dish washers, and washing machines.
