• karin Posted : 12/6/2006 10:19:43 PM I wonder if he is a landseer(sp?) newf or a st bernard/ newf mix with those speckles on his mask? I can't remember if the landseer newfs have speckles on the white areas or not. His face reminds me of Marley if she was black instead of brown. He does look pretty chunky, how tall is he at the shoulder?   Bless you for taking him and good luck! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• nyiceprincess Posted : 12/6/2006 10:36:19 PM Not sure about his height,i will check tomorrow.He is upstairs in bed with my daughter [] If i had to guess i would say around maybe 28 ? He isnt overly tall but he sure is built like a tank! a tank that thinks its a lapdog!He is so fat i cannot confirm that this dog actually has a ribcage in there. Thats why i am glad his joints seem good.We will be walking alot.Maybe my butt will look smaller next to his. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• karin Posted : 12/6/2006 11:37:24 PM Marley (saint/pyr) is similar in height. She is 27 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs 137 lbs. I can easily feel her ribs, and she eats approx 2-3 cups high quality kibble plus eith raw or homecooked each day. Her fluffy fur and big saintly forelegs make her look much larger then she is. I think that newfs breed standard is smaller then saint breed standard. You will have to post pics after you have had Sam a few weeks so we can see the changes a new healthy diet and exercise make! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• TexasDaisy Posted : 12/6/2006 11:45:05 PM He looks like a sweetheart! I hate to hear he was treated like that, the poor thing. Thank goodness for your big heart--now maybe he can have the life that he deserves! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• labcrab Posted : 12/7/2006 8:59:00 AM Yeah!  You got him!  [sm=clapping%20hands%20smiley.gif] He looks like such a sweetheart.  I wonder if he has some Berner or Saint in him?  Or maybe those are traditional Landseer markings?  Although I though Landseer was the opposite - Black head and white speckled body.   Anyway, Cally will know for sure.  He is gorgeous whatever he is.  Thank goodness there are people out there like you, you are a doggie hero of the greatest proportion.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• nyiceprincess Posted : 12/7/2006 10:28:26 AM Whatever he is (besides sweet!) it is that same thing that Eddie is mixed with.His mother is a yellow lab/husky but Eddie has the same markings on his face as well as several other similarities.Heres a pic,hes 10 months old,80lbs and growing You cant see the spots on his nose too well but they are there! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• labcrab Posted : 12/7/2006 11:49:13 AM oh my goodness, you weren't kidding.  He looks very much like Eddie!   How is Sammy adjusting?  Is he making himself at home?  fitting in with your 700 other dogs?
