Olen kiinnostunut — mitä minun pitäisi tietää?
Valmistaudu Newfoundlandinkoiraan.
Valtava, pehmeäluonteinen vesikoira, jolla on kärsivällisyyttä yllin kyllin. Ruoka, kuola, turkki ja lääkärikulut tulevat kaikki jättiläismäisessä mittakaavassa.
Kaikki alla tuleva perustuu tämän rodun omiin ominaisuuksiin kirjastossamme — mitä se pyytää sinulta viikko toisensa jälkeen, mukaan lukien asiat, joita ihmiset toivoisivat tienneensä etukäteen.
Mitä tämä koira pyytää sinulta
Rehellisesti, viikko toisensa jälkeen.
Activity
An hour or so, most days
Many dogs of this type settle far better in the house when the walking is regular rather than occasional. Build any distance up slowly, especially with a young or older dog.
Training
Learns quickly
Quick learners pick up the habits you didn't mean to teach just as fast. Short, kind, reward-based sessions from day one.
Food
A large daily amount
Weigh meals rather than guessing, and count treats as food. My Dog can work out a starting portion once you know their weight.
Grooming
Frequent brushing
Coats like this mat if they're left. Getting a puppy used to being handled early makes the next fifteen years far easier.
Shedding
Sheds heavily, all year
Lower-shedding breeds are sometimes easier for people with allergies, but no dog is completely allergy-free and reactions vary from person to person.
Dental
Part of the weekly routine
Brushing a few times a week, started early, saves a great deal of money and discomfort later on.
Weight
Easy to overfeed
You should be able to feel the ribs easily without pressing. Weight creeps on slowly — a monthly note in My Dog catches it early.
Mental stimulation
Needs something to do
A sniffy walk, a chew and a bit of training is usually enough to keep this kind of dog settled.
Home
Happier with more space and daily outdoor time
What matters most is the walking near your door and the hours you keep, not the number of rooms.
Time alone
Prefers company most of the day
There's no single maximum that fits every dog. Age, training and temperament all change the answer — and being alone is a skill you teach gradually.
Social life
Delighted by everyone
Early, calm, positive introductions to people, dogs, traffic and handling shape this more than the breed does.
Health to read up on
Typically lives 9–12 years
Every breed has conditions that appear more often than average. Ask a breeder which tests they do and why, or ask a rescue what's known. Your vet is the right person for anything specific.
Raha
Mitä Newfoundlandinkoira yleensä maksaa
€2,000–€3,400
Vuodessa, kun koira on asettunut arkeen — ruoka, vakuutus, rutiinieläinlääkärikäynnit ja hoito. Tarkoituksella laaja: hinnat vaihtelevat valtavasti maan ja kaupungin mukaan, eikä tämä ole tarjous.
