New member, New Newfie owner.
« on: October 23, 2005, 08:55:27 am »
Hello everyone.  I have owned my Newfie "Bodie" for about 6 weeks now.  He's a Landseer that is mild mannered but loves to jump and nip when playing.  He lost four teeth in the last 3 days.  My baby is growing up.  Bodie is about 65 pounds right now. 

Just wanted to say hi to everyone.  Thanks

How old is Bodie?  Sixty-Five pounds couldn't be for a six week old pup, could it??? :o

I have two Newfies,  a 3 year old Landseer, Cowboy and an eight month old Brown, Chester  (Chester weighs 84lbs now).  We adore them both!! 

Welcome to the group!!!

If your newf is six months old that is an average weight, if your newf is five months or less, than that seems heavy depending on the lines your newf is from
for males we follow the ten pound a month rule wich is at five months approx sixty pounds, no more, and less is good
for females it would be up to that but preferably less.
six months up to seventy pounds.
remember
slow growth is best, do not be in a hurry to get them to a hundred pounds. many newfs are at a standstill of ninety pounds until age two.

Thanks for all the wonderfull welcomes!  My Bodie is 20 weeks old now.  He's 65 pounds and growing fast.  He is an extremely good listener for a puppy.  It's hard to have patience sometimes.  He is forever jumping and wrapping his mouth around my wife and I.  I guess I have to remember that 5 months is still a baby.  I will post some pics when I get my digital camera fixed.

P.S.  I think my dog thinks his name is "Bodie......Lea ve it!" LOL

Thanks again
