Big Paws Only Dog Forums

We absolutely love, and are considering getting a Newfoundland. We have researched the breed and feel it would be a great fit for us. We have two cats who we feel confident will accept a dog into the house providing the dog doesn't growl or act otherwise aggressively toward them.  Has anyone with a Newfoundland had a dog who was aggressive toward cats. I know that getting a puppy increases the likelyhood they will accept cats more readily but we have a young son and were considering applying to adopt an older dog from a local Newf rescue group.

Any input would be appreciated.
