It all starts here. The puppies are round and soft, cuddly and precious. They have lucious coats and soft generous ears and the cutest little whimpers and whines. At a pound each when born, they gain weight quickly and look different in size every week. Ready to go to a home by about 12 weeks, they weigh approximately 25 - 30 lbs and will gain weight at a rate of about 10 lbs per month. Some puppies reach 100 lbs by 6 months and you have a rambunctious large puppy to contend with. They learn quickly with consistent loving attention. Newfoundlands like being with their family and are not as happy left alone for hours, like most puppies. They are also immature for a couple for years and do not reach full maturity until around 3-4 years old. An irresistible breed in appearance and temperament, this is the Gentle Giant, sweet and for the most part, biddable, loving and entertaining, intelligent and a lifesaver by instinct. This breed of dog has developed over the century as one of the best companions ever.
