I think I want a Newfoundland. I think that they are beautiful, and they remind me of my last dog. She was a golden/black lab mix and a great companion. I really don't know much about Newfoundlands except for their looks. So, some more information would be great.
Answers:
Newfoundlands are wonderful, smart affectionate dogs but they are much more dog to handle then your previous dog.
1. Newfies are huge- Tipping the scales at over 100 pounds lots of food and expebnsive high quailty food at that.
2. Grooming- Once a day at least to control shedding
3. Excersize- Two walks a day or more plus play
4. Seperation Anxiety- Larger dogs larger problems
Newfoundlands are wonderful dogs but think about it before you get it reasaerch and check out these sites and get some books, and talk to newfie owners/breeders

Check the AKC website and go to the breed. They have tons on information for prospective owners. Kudos on doing the research before getting the dog!
they are okay
They are big, soft, gentle, sweeties!! I used to work at PetsMart and met one. Most dog books can tell you about this breed (make sure the book is on dog breeds). Good luck!
Go to www.dogbreedinfo.com. Go to the top of the page and click on purebreds. Then scroll down top the N section.
they are just so adorable, and i love large dogs. they're one of my fav types of dogs.
i do know they're water dogs, are often rescue dogs, and they're closely related to the Saint Bernard.
i think they're very sweet, very intelligent dogs, and they drool a lot. check out the breed at www.dogbreedinfo.com
A Newfie is a great dog, and sweeter,more gentle than a Lab. They are not as easy to train as a Golden.
However, they are cold weather dogs. They love snow, and don't do well in heat. I live in Texas, and we don't have Newfies, because of the heat.
I think they are a massive, majestic beautiful dog. Just amazing!
Here is some info on them.

Prefers children to adults! Described as benevolent and dignified when mature, Newfs are good family pets. They are powerful swimmers and relish all water work. On land, they enjoy pulling the kids around in a cart, pulling a sledge with firewood or backpacking with a buddy. Shed bags full of hair! Weigh 120 --150#
