The breeders are trying, but I'm afraid they may never lose that apple-head they've created.

Thank you for posting that picture. Would that 'look' be acceptible for showing now?

Sadly, no. It looks more like today's field spaniel....a great breed.

I have a dear friend whose chocolate lab I dog-sit often. It is the most high strung pain-in-the-caboose animal I've ever known. My nieghbor got a yellow this past summer..same thing, high strung as all get out and downright obnoxious.

Don't want to offend any Lab lovers, but my preference is toward the giant breeds. I have a Saint who defines calm and good natured. Saints are the best IMHO.

The Newfy is a very sweet breed. Of course, I'm partial to my own breed's temperament though!

That's a shame. Especially for those who want to see the breed restored to it's original intent.

One of my husband's A school instructors has a Newfoundland. My husband said that was the biggest (and the most spoiled *L*) dog he's ever seen.

Glad you're checking in. GOP loves the smaller ones, and Softengine loves the big dogs! I love 'em all....

Too bad, the picture you posted is more like my Sugar, great temperment also

That's the problem when a certain breed becomes the "favor" of the month

Irresponsible breeders breed dogs they shouldn't.

You know its a sign of the impending Apocalypse when...your teenager asks why no one streaks the Westminster?

ROFL! Or, why doesn't anyone ever let a cat loose in there?

I rescued the neighbors Sheltie after she fell down a 75 foot cliff. I cried the whole way bringing her up. Poor dog didn't survive.

Looks like Sussex Spaniel will take this group! A lovely specimen.

That's happening somewhat with German Shepherd Dogs. Irresponsible breeders are breeding them bigger and bigger. People who don't know the breed shouldn't be sold a dog, but these breeders don't care about the dogs, they only care to make a couple bucks. I met a women who bragged her GSD was 140 pounds. Mine are 75 (smallish) and 90 pounds.
