This is a true Newfoundland story: A 71 year old woman lived alone on a small island off the coast of Maine. She had two Newfis. She went out swimming one day and had a stroke. She started to drown, about 50 yards from the shore. Her two Newfis, Annie and Oliver, were playing in the waves. She was past the breaking waves. She started to go down - drowning. Within seconds, she felt large mouths on her arms. Annie and Oliver pulled her back to shore. She was able to stick her head up and breathe. She was able to crawl back up to her towel on the sand and rest. She then radioed her neighbor who came and got her in his boat, and he took her to the mainland to the ER. Annie and Oliver were fine and waited in the house on the island. She has facial paralysis but lived. Annie and Oliver are still with her today.

Amazing 😮
Good Boi and Gurl Story.
Angel dogs !
The most surprising part of this story is that the dogs even let their owner swim out. I had a newf/rottie cross and i couldnt take him swimming and have a swim myself. He kept pulling me to the banks.😂
As a human owned by a Newfie, I thank you for showcasing their temperament and beauty. I have a 4 yr o!d Newf rn. They do require an owner that is willing and able to keep up with grooming. I first fell in love with the breed when an elderly neighbor passed away. Her daughter asked me if I would like to adopt George. He was 13yrs old ( which if you know the breed is amazing) and severely matted. Not because of lack of love and care. She brushed him everyday on her front porch. She was 97 and just didnt realized how his undercoat had matted up very badly over the years. When we got him he had to be shaved unfortunately. We were lucky though, his coat did grow back. It required a lot of c!ose grooming appointments to keep it from matting back up though. His groomer said that is why shaving a double coated dog is not something to do unless necessary. He knew us and already played with our kids. Her daughter was from out of state. We happily took him in, and I credit George with giving my son's now service dog the start in life she needed. He showed her how to be gentle and patient. We got the pleasure of 3 years with this gentle giant. He was the best book club member ever because he loved being a pillow for his humans. He helped me during my boys toddler years and welcomed the new baby boys with open paws. He would sit under a jumper so the boys could jump on him rather than the floor. He was taught 2 of my boys to walk by being a living walker. We knew his time was getting close and I would lay with him and beg him to tell me when he was ready. We didn't want him to ever have pain. One morning he woke up and couldn't stand. I knew he was ready to say goodbye. We weren't, but how could you ever be. Our vet has a home hospice service, where they will come to your home. We wanted him to pass in peace and not afraid at the vet's office. So my husband went and got him pancakes with syrup, bacon, eggs and a blueberry muffin. All the things he used to try and sneak because Mrs. Pearl used to give him a lot of people food. He ate like a king. All the kids said their goodbyes and my husband took them to a playground. George and I played on his bed and I thanked him for coming into out lives. I told him that he had taught Neela the pup. I to!d him that we would be ok and that it was ok for him to go join Mrs. Pearl because she had been waiting. He !used his eyes and peacefully went to sleep and. Crossed the rainbow bridge.
Here I am sobbing like a baby over the passing of a dog I never even met. You gave George 3 years full of love and happiness when he needed them the most. You are a wonderful neighbor, friend, and human.
Thanks for taking the time to share this with us 🤗 !
I'm not crying! YOU'RE crying.....!
What a beautiful and heartwarming story. Sharing your gratitude and tears for George
@@kay_el_eff I was just trying to quit crying also.
Sadie is just one fluffy huggable giant pillow .. even when she moves in real time, it looks as though she glided in slo-mo. Dang, she breathes like a well-oiled machine. Sadie is just adorable.

Growing up, my neighbours had a Newf. I always thought she didn't have a thought in her head, she was so passive. Then one day one of the four little kids in the family started to wander into the road. That Newfie dog sprang into action, instant high alert, and blocked the child from going any further. Once all the kids were safely back in their yard, the dog settled back into her regular lolling self.
Yup! When I was a little girl, my parents had a Bouvier who didn't want me to leave the yard. Apparently it was okay to him if I went down the driveway, but if I tried to go across the lawn, he would muscle me back in. So if I wanted to visit my friend down the road, I had to go down the driveway while he watched my every move. When I came back he would be standing on the lawn waiting for me.
Newfies and Pit Bulls are very dedicated family dogs.
@@AngryNerdBird A friend of mine adopted a pittie. What a darling! Her only fault was that she thought she was a lap dog. I'd be sitting there with this huge Pit Bull sprawling all over me.
@@jeanhartely lol yeah my old girl loved to snuggle like she was half her size!
@@AngryNerdBird Except no newfie has ever savaged anyone.
Sadie looks at Vanessa with that watering can like ‘whatever floats your boat, lady’.
Same with the paw print leggings 🙂
I want those :-)
Newfoundlands like water, like Shampoo?
@@martagasowska6772 ur not alone.....
😂😂😂
I like how Vanessa is airing out her grievances and the dog just remains seated and indifferent to it all. 😅😅
This is capybara software running on dog hardware. So chill and content. What a marvelous breed
I had a Newfoundland dog when I was a kid. Couldn't go for a swim in a lake with her cause every time I got in the water, she immediately jumped after me and dragged me on to the shore.
Thats so funny! She thought u were a bad swimmer or something 😂jk. what a good pupper 💕
There is a comment about a 71yo lady having a stroke while swimming and her two newfoundlands swam out and rescued her by grabbing her arms
I had a long hair German Shepherd as a kid that was the same way. Caesar, seemed terrorified I was going to drown or something but he would not let me in the lake. So I stayed out his entire life.
That is awesome! Talk about a good nanny.
my parents had a Newfoundland dog, when I was a kid, but Bertha was terrified of water :-D
I had a Newfie as a kid. We lived in a rural area and he liked to walk down the hill to the interstate, cross it and lie under an exit sign. The State cops repeatedly got reports of a black bear on the interstate.
😂😂😂
lol
😂😂😂😂
My uncle is a truck driver, I remember the stories of the chatter on the radio about the "bear" seen along the highway. Pretty sure that was your dog!
I have a Newfoundland on my horse farm and in the indoor arena she will just lay in the path where the horses are going. Love her to death but she is so lazy
That was a phenomenal groom. As someone who does senior dogs, it is so nice to see someone else who respects their need to sit, rest, lay down, and keep a low table. Great job!!!
Delivering pizza, dark night, walking to front door going by open garage door, black cave. Saw movement coming out of the dark about 3.5 feet above ground level. A face appeared sliding slowly out of the dark, looking like an intelligent black furry alien. I pushed my heart back down into my chest and realized it was a Newfie:) My first encounter with this magnificent breed and we became long time friends:) These are large dogs and this one was huge for the breed.
The quiet exceptance in Sadie's eyes speaks of a content soul that just knows that sometimes these strange things just have to happen and you've just gotta roll with it.
Ahh but all them hugs and praise afterwards, its all worth it in the end.
OH wow! The Before & After is AMAZING!!! Such a BEAUTIFUL, shiny coat!!! 🖤❤
Yes. Very well said
Acceptance
Why did I think your comment was a poem?
I never thought I would just sit here and watch dogs and cats get bathed, but I do and I love it.
I used to watch my other do it as a child with our doggos. I do it myself now, but I enjoyed watching her years ago. I knew I would like these. It’s strangely pleasing to watch, isn’t it? It’s like those rug cleaning videos, only not nearly as nasty from the start (usually because some dogs are overly dirty especially in the bum region lol).
Me too !😂 This is so calming for the brain at the end of the day! They are such beautiful angels!
The past year has been pretty rough for me. Any time I need a splash of happiness, I pull up one of these videos & bask in all the happy dogginess.
It's like a cup of tea and fruit/cheese plate. Very comforting to watch after a long day.
Same haha 😅
With the happy hoodie on she definitely looked like a black bear. Please add bears to your list of grooming services. 😂She is so beautiful. Great job!🖤🖤🖤
😂
This sweet dog deserves to hear "good girl" over and over like some of the anxious ones. Same thing happens with good kids - we take their goodness for granted and they don't hear affirmations as much as they deserve 🥰
Years ago, police warned people because some children had seen a bear near the town where I lived. When police tried to find that bear, they couldn't find any track of it. And then a dog owner realised that she was walking her Newfoundland dog without leash around same time in the same area. :D
I was thinking if Sadie stood on her back legs she could be mistaken for big foot.
Thats hilarious 😂!
So silly, what would she do if they pulled up in a secured vehicle, loaded her dog up. Walk it on a leash.
My brother's friend brought his Newfoundland over one day. I knew his breed but when I looked out in the yard I would have bet anything that I was looking at a black bear walking around. I can absolutely understand people getting them confused if they can't see the animal's face!
I was babysitting a friends Newfoundland for a long weekend while he was out of town. Imagine my surprise when animal control showed up at my place asking if I had seen a black bear that was reported at my place by the neighbors!
The whole time, Sadie is thinking "This would go a lot easier if you just had a swimming pool"
Actually I was thinking that very thing as she tried to bathe her! Newfie’s love the water!
Pool bath would def be the way to go. Dog would be happy to go to the groomer
@@user-cv8qe9ru8c yup, or any amount of food, seriously I thought my labs and bassets liked food, nope, my newfie would sell her soul for a milk bone.
Newfies love water. Mine would get into any water he saw..... lake, river, puddle. He used to stand with all 4 feet in his water bowl since that was the closest he could get to that water. 🤣
Considering they were bred in part to be water rescue dogs, I’d certainly hope they like the water lol. They’re like the opposite of huskies…
I had a Newfie named Max. Best dog I ever had. Just the sweetest boy in the world. The neighborhood kids would come to my door and ask if Max could come out. Then he would lay in the grass while they climbed all over him and he loved every minute. Yeah, the fur and the drool was a constant cleaning project but he was worth every minute. I'll never forget you Maxie boy.
What I love about your videos is that you don’t make it about you and plaster yourself all over the videos. You keep it all about the dogs and educational and fun. I wish more social media people would follow your lead. But the fact that you could make so much $$ charging clients yet do it for free shows just what kind of great person you are and we need more people like you in our world ❤
I truly believe that the reason why Newfies are so chill, is because if they REALLY don't want to do something, you literally cannot force them.
Absolutely correct!!!
" You are fine until i don't want you to be, then i will just sit on you "
Owner: Lets go for a walk Newf: No I don't think I will thank you Owner: C'mon, just a short one? You need exercise Newf: ☺️ Owner: Don't do it... Newf: *lays down* Owner: *sigh* Okay fine, you win...

Where does a Newfie go to sleep? Wherever it wants.
My dad got one from a kill shelter, without my knowledge when I was 13. One day I came home from school, got my shoes off...and then this black, horse sized beast walked behind the corner, looking at me. I remember calmly accepting, that I propably have only seconds to live. Smart and funny dog with an attitude. She bit my drunk dad on his ass on the regular, and made her every mischief look like her german sherpard buddy did it. RIP Tyyne.
Tyyne= Tiny? How did you pronounce your dog’s name?
@@hmtigirissit's pronaunced [ˈt̪yːne̞]. It's an old lady's name in Finland. Means calm.
@@hmtigiriss As a Finn, I can explain. Tyyne is an older Finnish name popular back in the start of the 1900s and essentially means calm, quiet, serene... It's pronounced... well, "Tyyne". Finnish is pronounced as written. (hence also why Rally English sounds so funny, Finns are used to pronouncing every letter in a word haha!) Hope this was a fun tidbit of information. Also, torilla tavataan Nassuklovni :)
@@sudenkieppiI just went to google translate and I wasn’t expecting that 😂
Täällä vielä yksi suomalainen. I"m Finnish too. We are everywhere.
It was like a train was being groomed. The panting faded into a locomotive chugging along.
When i was younger, i used to walk two dogs from my neighbour. A brown newfounlander(Rambo) and a saint bernard (Bowie). I must say i was in heaven because those two together were just hillarious, sweet, fluffy clouds. And they were bigger then me but they were such a puppies. I love them so much. Unfortunatly they both have passed. I even called my own dog Bowie as a rememberance to that Bowie. So what you have there is an amazing sweet gentle cloud who is willing to do anything(!!) for you when you treat him right.
I love when you said, “you stink.” Sadie turned her head just slightly and looked up at you as if she was going to say, “you don’t smell too good yourself lady.” 😂😂
she totally gave the groomer a 'that's very rude' look.
The dog: is there a fishery nearby?
@@astoriacub lol definitely
@@jonahbrown5669 or it smells like cats in here?

Fun fact: I once mistook a black bear for a newfoundland until I remembered that I knew ALL the dogs on my college campus.
You didn't pet it did you? 🤣🤣
My dad mistook a dog for a black bear lol
I knew a Newfie named Night Bear, since, y'know, he looked like a bear at night.
Oh Lordt lol
lols looks like you and I are ppl that will probably die petting something we shouldn't
The dog was looking around like "Well I've never been watered like this before... Are we sure she's a real groomer?". I love it.
I am now the proud owner of a Australian Shepherd, that showed up a week and a half ago Emaciated and dehydrated. He is on the mend. Your Chanel has taught me so much on how to take care of his coat. Thank you very much.
Our Newfie, Honor (RIP), was so non-aggressive that even when two little yappy dogs were "attacking her" ...by which I mean they were hanging off of her chest with a mouthful of double-coat, she just sat there looking exactly like Sadie. Chilling.
That word picture is amazing and made me chuckle. RIP Honor, you chill beast.
My boxer got attacked by a chihuahua … as in it tried biting his ankles… unsuccessfully. Mine just looked like “mama why is that rat attacking me? Oh well…”
My grampa had a 6 foot Newfie. My siblings and I would ride him like a horse. Most laid back dog ever... Unless... My dad took him for a walk once, a doberman and a boxer were loose and started growling. Dad let go of the leash and the Newfie swatted one of them away and held the other in its mouth until it gave up. Well, he told that story anyway lol.
🤣🤣🤣 the yip-dogs' egos probably never recovered RIP Honor you sweet baby
@@sharlharmakhis280 The yip-dogs' egos were fine. They did after all win. At least I'm sure you'll never convince them otherwise.
Sadie: "I just needed a bikini trim and a pawdicure." Vanessa: "You stink"
"HI I'm Sadie and I'm the one not judging you"
Wow, she really does look like a little black bear with the ear band on. I love her personality…. Reminds me of my Great Pyrenees’s I used to have. Giant horrifying love bug.❤
Newfie's are truly "the gentle giant" in the dog world! This sweetie is no exception.❤️👍😁 Doug
The size comparison is actually hilarious between Sadie and Vanessa
Yeah. You think ... "That dog isn't that big" ... until you realize how small Vanessa is and then you think "HOLY JEEBUS!!!"
Of course, Vanessa is a tiny human. 😂
Sadie's paws--even once trimmed up--were bigger than Vanessa's hands!
I was born and raised in Newfoundland. Such great dogs. I later lived in Ontario and I attended a dog show with my then girlfriend who was a single parent. She inquired to the breeder of Newfoundland dogs whether the dog would require a great deal of exercise . He replied " Do you have a couch ? "
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Oh that made me so laugh!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha ...
😂😂😂
My kind of dog😂
you could totally double dip, by earning ad revenue, and still charging for grooms. What you do is nothing short of amazing and awe inspiring. Thank you for helping these wonderful dogs and their owners.
She's so lovely. What a gorgeous dog soul.😊
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I’ll never forget being up at my old trailer. Some lady came to visit the neighbour off a little in the distance and when she went inside she left her giant black Newfoundland. Well the sky in the distance was already dark and within a few mins you could hear the thunder coming. Next thing I know the big baby’s standing at the bottom of the hill going up to my trailer looking at us with sad puppy eyes. He politely sat there until we invited him up at which point he lumbered up to the deck and sat with us until she came out lol. Poor guy was scared of the thunder and didn’t want to be alone
Nooooooooooo, stop it, you're breaking my heart here. I can completely imagine the eyes he gave you. Poor little bear.
My family's Newfoundland she was just like that. Super loving and protective but if the vacuum cleaner came out that's it she was hiding under your feet.
I love how she has "Oh, this is nice" expression throughout whole treatment.
@@Christopher-Jayden Nah, thanks, I'm good.
I wanted a newfie so bad, but I never had the space for one. Sadie is gorgeous 🥰
She is so gentle and floofy ! So much fur and so much patience, from both of you.
Just the other day our Great Pyrenees started chasing what I thought was a neighbors Newfoundland that came up our driveway. As I got up to grab my dog the “Newfoundland” suddenly started climbing straight up a fir tree! Only then did I know it was actually a black bear! 😂
Leave it to a Pyr to go after a bear, without any apprehension, while still being gentle enough to trust with lambs and small children.(The little ones love feeding my Pyr Cheerios. My pup takes them ever so delicately, despite having teeth bigger than the child's fingers.)
Oh my gosh.
I got a pyr mix as my fitst dog... BIG mistake 😂 love her so much though. Despite her being stubborn as a rock
@@lakibramble They eventually listen but they make it seem like it was their idea. I have a Pyr Akbash mix and he is that way.

Look at her at the end. Sadie is majestic. I'll bet she feels cooler and lighter, too. Vanessa needed a sturdy dinner after that.
Lotsa poutine
@@justanotheryoutubeaccount0 And a large glass of wine 🍷 too!
@@donnadibiasio1375Probably an entire bottle!! 😂😂😂😂😂

The explanation about the watering can was fantastic. More people should be comfortable with 'I don't know '. I appreciate the honesty.
You should introduce a line of clothes that you can wear in the bathe while bathing your dogs ! It would be fun and cute with lil catchphrases and its actually needed like swim wear lol
*The peaceful expression in Sadie's eyes suggests a serene spirit that understands that life can be unpredictable and sometimes you just have to go with the flow*
And rubs, hugs, cuddles, and snuggles
Well, they are water dogs 😁
DEFINITELY
Very well said!!!
I love Newfies. I once worked as a bather (wasn't certified to give grooms, so just baths), and a lady brought her Newfies in. I was asked if I could assist by brushing out the chest of one of them using a rake. So at first, I'm terrified, brushing the coat of this giant grizzly. Then he sniffs at me and licks my face. I swear, that tongue was the size of my head. Been a fan of Newfies ever since. ❤
I can imagine him thinking "dont be tense honey, i wont bite" *lick* 🥰
Wait, NEWFIES, plural!? No wonder they needed an extra set of hands!😂 but they are the sweetest aren’t they?
I was giving a bath to my Newfypoo today, exactly the same demeanor. The only difference he decided it was a play time when I was using the hair dryer, he was trying to bite a piece of it.
thank yhou for these vids - for those of us who cant keep dogs looking at these huge teddybears being pampered is a real treat!
What a beautiful cuddly black beast. I can't imagine all that fur...as a dog whisperer the secrets she must know..an absolutely awesome dog who looks stunning and an incredible amazing groomer who made her that way 😊
This sweet dog's attitude throughout the whole session was like, "Sure, what the hell, give it your best shot."
Sadie: "Am not aggressive. Am just very fluffy flower."🌼 Anytime you use the watering can, I feel like the dogs think they're flowers 😂 🌸
Yeah water the 160 lb bear maybe it will get even bigger eeeewk
Love that term, "fluffy flower!"
😊
She kinda is a fluffy flower. Easily the most drool free Newfie I ever saw, makes her even cuter than most Newfies imo 🧡😁
This is the purest comment on the internet
They are so chill it's amazing. Nothing flusters them.
I'm absolutely OBSESSED with your videos! watching all these gorgeous dogs get even more beautiful is so much fun! You're amazing!
I remember walking a neighbor's golden retriever one day when a newfoundland that had gotten loose from its tether came bounding up from its back yard and literally knocked me onto my butt. Zero threat or aggression, just a massive "HELLO NEW PERSON, HOW ARE YOU?" on four legs. (The retriever just stood there and watched this happen, lol) The newfoundland's owner was quite annoyed at her dog, as I recall.
If that's how I go out, I'm content
The owner was probably annoyed because this must of not been a one off occurrence their newfoundland must of have done it before lol🤣😆😂
@@mercedesvelasquez8781 Most likely. I know there are so many ways that scenario could go horribly wrong, but at least in this case, it was funny.
Sounds like a newfy!

Thanks for doing this for pet owners (and their pets) who can't afford it. You truly are making a difference.
Plus, grooming is very expensive for dogs that large. She’s really doing a service to these owners of gargantuan dogs like Sadie.
@@maryellenthompson8261lol, "gargantuan."
But why people keep such dogs,if they can't afford their maintenance
@@Surya-bz2mwits not all about the money. I know a lot of people have connections with certain dog breeds. Yes there are other dog breeds that are a lot more easy to maintain, but its all about what the owner wants and what is good for the dog. If the dog is happy, thats what matters, not the money. And a lot of people that own these dogs are aware of the maintenance it takes.
@@Surya-bz2mwI'd agree you shouldn't get a dog if you're not ready to pay their vet/grooming/etc bills, but the unfortunate fact is that sometimes situations change, whether that be job loss or (in the US especially) a medical issue arising.

I’m so glad Ace is doing well! What a blessing! And congrats for realize you have limits! Good job!

Exactly. Just like the old steam locomotives. Going really slow with a bunch of cars behind it. What an incredibly huge dog with a heart of gold.
@@katie195hope not but she probably needs to not work alone w.the big dogs. And she should do physical therapy, Pilate's or yoga. Actually being so active shes probably at less risk than most of people
Growing up in the country like us all our neighbours had dogs and one of them had a Newfie… you couldn’t find a more laid back or relaxed dog unless there was a bear nearby henceforth her name(Bear) as she showed absolutely no fear charging black and grizzly bears and she never once got injured. After chasing a bear she would go from aggressive, powerful and menacing to sweet and friendly and laid back once the danger was over. Biggest issue as already stated her fur had never been brushed but was never badly matted which was surprising and secondly the buckets of slobber she would release hourly. You always knew where she had laid due to the big glob of slobber on the ground.
Are they slobbery due to their size and need to cool down?
Yes they are a slobbery doggo! So giving them a good face wipe on occasion is needed, and they can get stinky due to the drool. So worth it though
@@CatOnACell9k
Sadie looked so much more beautiful when you were done. It looked like she lost a ton of hair so that must also make her feel better!! ❤❤❤❤
I guess I really never thought about just how labor-intensive dog grooming is!
The Newfie is definitely one of my top 3 favorite dog breeds. The term "gentle giant" describes them better than almost any other dog breed out there. They are just the sweetest temperament... so huggable, affectionate, loving, gentle and always the best boy in the room. Sadie is a shining example of her breed. She tolerated everything Vanessa did and did not complain even ONE time. Newfies are truly majestic, magical creatures of pure fluffy love. ❤
Newfies are known as fantastic nanny dogs, so they are great with young children.
@@colleens.279 definitely the one the thing that stuck with me from Peter Pan. Great nannies!
Being from Newfoundland, I love these dogs - they are fantastic swimmers and have saved many lives over the years :)
They're great working dogs down here, too! My grandfather had four. Two Great Pyrenees and two Newfoundlands. They saved his livestock so many times. And us grandkids more than once or twice, too. I still miss them.
If Newfies can be said to have a fault, it is that they might insist on rescuing you from the water whether you need to be rescued or not! I have seen training competitions taking place in the Mediterranean in Europe where they train Newfies and other dogs to jump out of helicopters to rescue swimmers!
A former boss had a three legged Newfie and four sons. They lived on a lake and whenever the boys went swimming they had to lock him in the house or tie him on side away from the water. He would pull them out of the water every time he could get to them. Darling of a dog.
even the ones who did not want to be saved I'm OK dog leave me alone
I love that when you talked about other dogs snapping at you she gave you a look like ”👀wow other dogs do that how rude”
You are perfect for these big dogs. You’re great. I love watching you.
I couldn't help but notice her breathing was reminiscent of a small steam engine huffing. And she really just seemed so chill with the whole affair. Amazing animal, I must say.
I was thinking the same thing!
The wetness help her cool down. They are so warm .. so so warm
I was going to mention that!
Newfies are the best.
Greatest dogs on earth
I adopted what I thought was a yr old black lab many yrs ago. Nero turned out to be a magnificent Newfielab who grew to 110lbs. He was an incredibly gorgeous, smart, happy lovable boy. I miss him every day. Have never seen another one like him. She's such a good girl! ♥️ Those Newfies!
You know, in a way every Labrador is a Newfoundland Labrador mix. While The Newfoundland already existed on the island when Europeans came here some 530 years ago. Nobody knows how they got here but there is speculation the Vikings brought them in 1000ad when they tried to settle here. It's also possible The Irish were responsible. it's possible they arrived here even earlier. In any event, the Newfoundland was recognized as a great asset to small boat fishermen from hundreds of years ago. Problem was, at often over 150lbs getting a wet one back over the side of a tiny boat was a challenge. Due to this, locals decided to try to create a condensed version of The Newfoundland. Using select Newfoundland's they bred (a now extinct), dog called The St. John's Water Dog. The result was a smaller and lighter animal with the same exceptional water abilities of the Newfoundland. This new Dog was known as The Lessor Newfoundland for many, many years. In the 1800's, a British naval officer stationed in Newfoundland thought the new dog would be very popular back home with sportsmen. He rechristened The Lessor Newfoundland The Labrador Retreiver because he thought that the name Labrador would sound exotic to people in The UK. The Newfoundland is also responsible for the existence of several other very popular breeds. Their story is fascinating.
Thank you! Very interesting. They're wonderful babies! ❤️ Although I got Nero for my mom he turned out to be mine. But she fell in love w Newfies bc of him too!
What a beautiful dog, you did an excellent job!
just sits calm without a fuss,good girl
Newfs are maritime rescue dogs. They have coats that allow them to swim in the frigid North Atlantic to rescue sailors. They have webbed feat (not kidding) to help them swim powerfully. There are so many stories of families with swimming pools whose Newfs instinctively leap in to rescue children whenever they jump into the pool. They are incredibly sweet and gentle and loyal to their families. They are not good guard dogs because they are just too friendly. I would love to have one, but I live in a climate that is way too hot for them. Sadie is beautiful and incredibly sweet-a typical Newfoundland.
Directive: Must protec the lil ones 🥰
So true about not good guard dogs. My family had a Newfie, named Princess, when I was growing up. The running joke was if we ever had burglars Princess would have played with them. 😄
@@precioustravelerBut you would hope they didn't know about the dog bread and take off like a bat out of hell 😅
Growing up I had a newfoundland and a newfoundland border collie mix after. They are super sweet but I'd say they're the perfect guard dog. They will bark and the deep pitch of their bark combined with their gargantuan size has scared many delivery drivers away😂 also my neighbor had 2 psychotic german shepherds who decided to attack our pure bred newf one day and she had the upped hand on them before I chased those dogs back into their yard.
I grew up with newfies. 2 coats, basically a waterproof outer and an insulating down inner. The running joke was the only way they would ever stop a home invasion is if the robber trips over them on the way in. Did have one that HATED horses and saw a horse drawn carriage a few blocks down. She let out her lowest, loudest barks and a group of about 20 people walking toward us jumped and crossed the street.
Sadie is the first non-drooling Newfie I've EVER seen! Amazing work, Venessa! 💗
True. Same. Always so drooly!!!
We had one 20 years ago, Boris - she (don't ask) never drooled.
I saw one drop in the yard, right at the end. Restored my faith in the breed.
@@conmadbenOh, could totally be a girl's name! Like Doris, just with a B. : )
Ours didn't drool either. I'm not sure if that's something that some breeders specifically breed for or just hope for.
Omg she’s such a sweetie. Her eyes when she looked up just breaks my heart 🥹🥹🥹
That’s one beautiful dog!
She looks like a bear with the happy hoodie. So cute 🐻
Yes, she looked Just like a bear during the blow dry... LOL
And during the intro in the backyard. 😃
I can't believe she's 8. Big dogs have short lifespans but she still looks great! Thanks for showing us what a big sweetheart she is. ❤️
My newf lived til 13 🥰 he was the sweetest boy to the end ❤
Yes, but she would be better off 20lbs lighter. Her hips wont last much longer.
It's one of natures or god depending on your outlook, cruelest joke that dogs are on earth for such a small time. But to make that fact bearable you should remember that dogs feel time ~25% slower than us, so they get decades with us. It's the reason for that classic "Ive just been away for an hour calm down"
As usual, you did beautiful job on Ms Sadie swells being patient and cal, I hope you were too sore them next day😊
She’s gorgeous and such a sweet, gentle giant. Great work!
I feel like part of the charm of Newfoundland dogs is their perpetually sad/disappointed eyes. She just kept looking at Vanessa like, "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed in your choices."
😂😂
HAHA! Best comment!! Sadie does look sad & disappointed. (Thanks for the giggle!) She's so beautiful!
LMAO
LOLOLOL
I notice poor Sadie isn’t running around the yard with delight. I’m thinking that Vanessa isn’t the only one tired out by the grooming but what an amazing transformation
Honestly I don't think I've ever seen an adult Newfie "run" unless there's some kind of emergency. 😂 They are just that chill, "why worry, why hurry?" Dr. Mike has a puppy and it still doesn't zoom more than it lays around.
It's a Newfoundland. They don't run. They actually make great apartment dogs because they're so lazy. They are excellent swimmers if you get them into water - the colder, the better.
It's summer. Newfies have more energy in winter when that thick coat is a help, not a hindrance.
Also 8 is fairly old for Newfies sadly
8 years old means shes already a senior
You are such a breath of fresh air among all of the chaos going on in our world. The way you handle the for babies is so beautiful, and your voice is so soothing. I’m a fan forever.❤️
This pooch is super cute and so gentle!
Ah, noofs. An endless wellspring of love. And slobber. But mostly love.
“And so, I can provide my services for free!” That hit home for me 🥺 idk i just admire how much u love taking care and helpin out the dogs as well as their humans. I love seeing people content w what they do ❤
She's a youtuber first, it provides much more money than just being a dog groomer. Grooming for free allows her to hand pick animals that would make for interesting videos, and she doesn't have to waste her time going through a dozen golden retrievers that would make for less interesting content. Don't get me wrong, I love Vanessa, but she's running with a very smart business model.
Cats too
@@matthew7849i get where ure coming from but despite youtubing she could still pick grooms that she could charge for if she was truly money driven imo
That is one chill animal. Beautiful job Vanessa.
She is soooo sweet. Thank you for taking care of here; for free…. And being kind about it.
First family dogs I had as a child were newfoundlands. The drool and fur are no joke, but they are such wonderful sweet dogs that I still want to get one when I have the space ❤
Do they run a lot?
...when I have the space... Like the State of Rhode Island?
@@lisakaz35they are fairly lazy
The work to keep a Newfie looking good is phenomenal Backbreaking. But they are the best dogs Loving gentle and loyal. Keeping the house clean is also an issue The won’t do well in warm climates. Lived in NYS when we had our girl. She wanted the cool cellar in the summer and would lay out in snow and ice during the winter.
The beach is where they love to be! Water is their great love! The other hard thing about Newfs is their lifespan.....Sadie is very old for this breed. It's one of the "heartbreak breeds".
When my stepdaughters were 5 and 2, we were just wasting time in a pet store, and a man came in with the biggest dog I've ever seen in my life.. a 2 1/2 year old male Newfi. He proceeded to lay down in the middle of the store, and my stepdaughters just looked at the dog with the biggest smiles on their faces.. They looked up at the man, and at the dog, and he just said.. "ya you can play with him.. he loves kids". My girls were all over that dog and all 3 of them (the girls and the dog) were in heaven for about 10 minutes. The owner and I just watched and laughed... it was a great show. After we left and we driving home, the girls couldn't stop talking about him. Newfis are amazing.. probably the best family dog ever... as long as they don't roll over you.
Its the source for the term "nanny dog" .. they will protect kids. If uve never seen an agressive newfie, wait until u see them with kids when something bad happens. Then it doesnt look like a newfiew.. but a ferocious bear with huge teeth putting itself between kids and danger. I experienced this with my dog .. he has no training whatsoverever related to this.
Their cousins Saint Bernards are the same way.
If we die bc of them laying on us, we die.
@@frosty6960in the Peter Pan book, Nana the dog was a Newfoundland, animated movie just changed her to St Bernard.
@@PaladinDansesGirlfriendamen😂
He's so adorable! Give him so much cuddles n loving! ❤❤
"Sweetness of temperament is the hallmark of the Newfoundland; this is the most important single characteristic of the breed." from the AKC Breed Standard. Newfies are just great dogs. One of the few downsides to having a Newfoundland dog as a family member is the amount of grooming that is needed, but they make up for that in so many other ways.
I can see one more thing on that list They eat like Thers no tomorrow 😂😂 Other than that they're great dogs My uncle had one and it was the laziest dog you could ever want But if you or any of the family members would have a problem Tinka would be there Pronto So yeah fuckin amazing dogs if you ask me Just saying 🇧🇻
I guess the same goes for St Bernards. Our former neighbours had one. He thought he was a tiny dog. Jumping into his daddy's lap, he actually broke the sofa ! And it wasn't made by IKEA... 🛋 🐕 🤣
I still have unresolved guilt of never being quite caught up getting our newf Jake fully groomed :P Not as large and hairy as this fella but we couldn't afford professional services back then but was an incredible improvement from situation we rescued him from :)
They don't fit through hallways sometimes
I love how at the end she is laying down panting as if she had just done all the work 😂
big floofy dogs are weighed down alot when they get washed
I'd be overheated too if I were that hairy! XD
Standing up for a considerable amount of time can be very strenuous for older dogs.
They also pant from stress. The whole process is obviously very necessary but also is stressful for pups.❤
Ikr, even tho in case someone doesn't know, the main reason why a dog pant is pretty much the same as why we sweat, is their way to release heat not necessarily that they are tired.
What a beautiful dog, with a matching personality!
such a gentle giant, she's so sweet
My favourite breed. I've only ever known one, and that was over 20 years ago, but he made such an impression that I've loved them ever since. It belonged to the family of one my friends from school and he was just the most amazing creature. Sweet and huggable of course, but we also used to wrestle him, and he'd even let us win. They're obviously known as gentle giants, and they're also affectionate, loyal, intelligent, and brave. Literally everything you could ever ask for in a dog. Gone but not forgotten, Samson
Our Newfie Honor (RIP), loved to play "the most frightening game in the world." She'd only do it with me, because I am a big guy. She never tried with my wife, who is tiny, or with anyone else. But if you go into the backyard with her at night, with the light off, she'd run past you like you were a Matador, only veering away at the last moment. And she'd make these horrific Hound of the Baskervilles noises that were terrifying. And because she was black, and it was pitch black outside, you couldn't even see her. You could just hear her, feel the ground shake, and then feel the substantial gust of wind from her passing by you. Terrifying. And when you're done with the game, you just put your palm out, and she stops and licks it. It was exhilarating though. Only the fact I knew she wouldn't hurt me kept me from being frozen in fear.
Wonderful story!
Yes there was a Newfie that lived around the corner from us, and he always came to my house during the day to hang out with me. Then he'd go home at night :) Gorgeous breed
@@craenor I fully believe that the Hound of Baskerville is a newfie, now. RIP Honor
What a great word picture of Samson. if you aren't a writer , you need to be . He sounds absolutely epic.
We have 2 Newfoundlands who come to our daycare. One of them, Geoffrey, could easily be mistaken as a black bear, and his fur isn't floofy but long and sleek and even naturally parts on the top of his head, so on windy days like today he'll hold his nose up to the wind and let his hair just blow in the wind lol😂.
Sounds like a handsome fellow!
I really loved the video. I never realized how much work it is to groom a dog! Especially such a big one!
What a beautiful she is, such a big lovable bear.❤
The bigger the dog, the happier I am! They're just giant real life teddy bears 💛
Big dogs are so the best. You need to give them the training to control their behavior. They tend towards inte lligence so it gives them a job.
Just a suggestion; have the owners take Sadie down a boat into the lake and swim for an hour before the appointment. Then she'll be adequately wet for the groom
I was thinking the same thing: need a river rapids to get into that coat.
Soaking wet She’s going to weigh 185 lbs and that wet dog smell in the car for weeks…😂
I think a 2.5" line off of a fire truck might be required, lol.
...and let her pull a boat. Mine could. I loved that dog.
Make sure the lake is clean.
It takes a very special person to do the job you do! Thank you for being you! I find it so satisfying watching the process for some reason! You are awesome. I also ordered some of your products the other day and will be using them on my 4 year old Australian Shepard as soon as it warms up.
Sadie is a sweet,sweet girl! Nice work! 😊 she didn't care what you did as long as she could lay down!😊
I met a mom with her 10 puppies, and she was sooo gentle and like "just do with them as you want" its one of the most gentle breeds on earth
Newfies were bred for water rescues. Their job is to be gentle but enthusiastic.
As a very large person who pants out of breath a lot, I find myself wondering if the Newfies are calm because it just takes too much effort to bother with the small stuff. Save energy for play, saving drowning people, hauling fishing nets, and chasing bears away!
