Newfoundland Discussions / Murphy update!

« on: April 01, 2009, 12:19:07 pm »

Well, Murphy turns 9 months in just a couple days and he now stands 29 3/8" at the shoulder and weighs 111 lbs. Everyone seems to think he is gonna be a VERY large newf..We watch his eating very closely and he is on the lean side. The bad part is he doesn't look big at all to us..LOL

Newfoundland Discussions / Another Murphy update!

« on: January 08, 2009, 04:37:10 am »

Since switching him over to Eagle Pack Holistic food, his weight has been on a steady increase and he looks much better (not too thin, very shiney coat, etc.) .

He just turned 6 months and is 26 inches tall and 82 lbs. (not sure where he stands in terms of big or small for his age)

Getting a newf was one of the best things I have ever done! He is absolutely awesome!

Newfoundland Discussions / When to switch from Puppy food to adult food?

« on: December 06, 2008, 02:00:50 pm »

Murphy is 5 months old and doing very well on Eagle Pack Giant Puppy. I was wondering when a good time is to switch him to the Adult Eagle Pack Holistic for Giant breeds? I have been told by some to make the switch around 6 months old, and some say that we should have switched to an adult food around 3-4 months old. Need some help here.

He is currently 65 lbs and still able to feel the ribs.

Newfoundland Discussions / Murphy is now 4 months and 1 week old!

Well, its just like the title says...He's a bit over 4 months old now and he really is a good boy. We have been watching his food intake very closely and he is now ~22in tall, and ~50 lbs. His weight was on course with the rest of his litter mates, but he seems to have been growing a bit faster than them over the past month or so, not just in weight but also in height. The breeder suggested uping the food even more as he is quite ribby. Does his weight seem normal? He could stand to hold another 5 lbs or so right now.

Hello all,

Found this site and thought it would be cool to get involved and hopefully gain some insite from those that have lived with these incredible animals!! This is my first Newf, but I have had several other dogs in the past, ranging anywhere from Giant Malamutes, to Miniature Dachs. I know this will be different, but ever since I met the first one (202# male cool and calm as could be), I just had to have one. I have been to visit several breeders and have met over 100 newfs now. I found a breeder I trust and now have just over 3 weeks until the "little" guy comes home. Can't Wait!!
