Hello! Winton and I are new to this board! My husband and I rescued Winston last week from a woman who could no longer take care of him. We initally went to meet him ONLY; however, we quicky discovered that he was living amongst 25 (that's right....someo
ne explain to me how that's OK!!!) other dogs, lived mostly in a crate, wore a bark collar, had a raging ear infection/mites....the list goes on. Needless to say, he could have had rabies and I would have still taken him out of there!!!! Despite his miserable conditions, he seems to be quite healthy (whew! no rabies!). He's adjusting to his older Golden Retriever brother (Champ, 1 yr), and learning how to play. He's a lover...except that's been a little problematic since he's poop eater. UGH!!!!!!!
Anyway, I want to thank everyone for all of the great information provided on this website from grooming, to correct diets, to exercise precautions, etc. It's been fantastic.
I am curious, however, about one thing..... I'm wondering if his conditions may have stunted his growth??? What do you all think about a 6.5 mo Newfie at 46lbs?
Seems small to me......
Thanks so much!!!
