Bluegrass RiverNewfoundlands

Known as the "Gentle Giant," our dogs are selected for their calm, patient, and sweet dispositions. They are famously good with children and they get along flawlessly with other pets! They thrive on human companionship and consider themselves a true part of the family.

Our adults range from 130-160+ pounds. While this is the bloodline and genetics of your puppy, we cannot predict the exact size. Newfoundlands grow upwards the first 2 years and fill out year 3 and 4! A male will develop his big blocky features around age 3. • OUR Females: Typically range from 120–150 lbs. • OUR Males: Typically range from 130–170 lbs. Because of their size, they stay "puppies" physically for a long time; their joints and bones continue to develop until they are about 2 years old.

We raise our puppies on a high-quality, large-breed specific puppy formula. This is vital because giant breeds need to grow slowly and steadily. Food that is too high in protein or calories can cause them to grow too fast, putting unnecessary stress on their developing joints. We Feed: “ DIAMOND NATURALS Large Breed PUPPY” And “DIAMOND NATURALS Large Breed Adult” These can be purchased in store at Tractor Supply, Petco, Petsmart, etc. Or Online at Chewy.com, etc

Our dogs from the age of 4 weeks and up take a daily multivitamin! This is very important for pups especially. It is designed to boost immune systems and is packed with essential vitamins and protection! I strongly suggest ordering one container of Nuvet plus powder for your new puppy to continue using! One order lasts 3-4 months! I give my teen and adult dogs the wafer Nuvet plus. They also have a joint supplement that I give my senior newfs! TO ORDER: www.nuvet.com/798429 FISH OIL: I keep my dogs and pups on a daily fish oil supplement. Amazon or local stores sell these. Salmon or fish oil is fine. This keeps their skin from getting dry or irritated, also gives them a soft coat!

• Elevated Bowls: To make eating more comfortable for their height. • Heavy-Duty Leash: A 6-foot leather or thick nylon leash is best for training. • Large Crate: A 48-inch or 54-inch crate with a divider to grow with them. Or for early crate training, a small 20-24” crate works well!
