We have a 7 month old Newf.. she is full on fun.. hard to beat for temperament..we do live in a warm climate ...I was worried how this might affect her, but she copes well..she stays in the air con or sits in her pool outback with the sprinkler keeping her cool. she loves the beach & going on the boat..have had to buy a special ramp for her to get in & out of the water via the boat..as she is getting to heavy to lift!! great with the kids..
