hi to all of you,
   we have resized our photos and thought you would like to see them.there is one which is funny...she looks like a little pig haha.she's growing fast and is coming on in leaps and bounds.
  what would you say is the best age to get our newfie puppy swimming?? she loves water!! we can't keep her out of it,which l'm sure is the same for all newfoundland dogs.

 regards debi and ste.

OMG, she is adorable...way too cute!
Our newfie just had her first swim a few weeks ago and she is 16 months old.  We didn't have the opportunity to try before then.
Our breeder had hers swimming well before they were a year.  Books say they can go into the water as puppies.

OMG! Molly is a complete doll. I love the pic with her ears flopping up. Too cute.

We got Bear at 12 weeks and our first weekend with him he went swimming & he has been out and about ever since.  :)

Oh she is SO CUTE!!!!  I'm with Jacksmom...I am typing up the ransom note as we speak!  LOL!

We got Sierra at 10 weeks.  We took her up to our in-law's pond next door the next day.  She was afraid for a while and got to the point she would go in up to her belly but that's it.  Then about a month later she took a leap into our pool, quite by accident.  She must have thought it was shallow...  Anyway, that broke the ice and now we can't keep her out of the water.  Just don't push her...let her get comfy with water on her own terms.

ste is going to get in the water with her

Hee...hee...go od luck! I tried getting in the pond wearing hubby's fishing waders.  I stood there for about 1/2 hour holding a biscuit and calling Sierra with no luck.  Dumb dog just sat on the shore and chewed on a stick.  Finally hubby got bored and threw a big rock right next to me and got me soaked!  Then the coward took off running!!!  LOL!

I hope your experience is more successful!
