Newfoundland Pictures / Oldest Newfie
« on: May 08, 2005, 04:15:55 am »
I am curious to know what is the longest anyone has had a Newfie for? I know they don't have a long lifespan.
My friend that has a newf also had a landseer but she died last year at the age of 8. It was very very sad. The friend that I speak of is our neighbor at my work place, I am a horse trainer so therefore I work on a horse farm. The landseer( Candy) wandered over one day and she got into the pasture and everytime she tried to get out she kept getting zapped by the electric wire, she had to be put down the next day, it was horrible.
Here is a word of advice for anyone who has an older big dog around any electric fence, please be careful, poor Candies heart just couldn't handle it and her belly bloated terribly a lot. I went over to say good-bye to her the morning that the vet was coming out to put her down and let me tell you that was soooo hard to do, she was a wonderful dog.
It is a sad story but I hope that by telling it it could be prevented from happening to another wonderful Big dog.
