What City and State do you live in? Greenville, SC
How many newfoundlands do you currently live with? 1 - His Name is Gentle Giant Mâx Bear and he is a 4-year-old intact male Landseer Newfoundland with OFA "good" rating for hips.
Do you have other breeds? Tell us about them? Yes, We have a 13-year-old Siberian Husky named Psyche Zeppelin.
Do you have other creatures? No
Are you an active breeder? No
What attracted you to the newfoundland breed? The loyalty and comfort. They are so good with children. Cam trained at MUSC Hospital - Charleston where an army of Newfs came through the hospital regularly as hospital therapy dogs, and ever since then we knew we needed a Newf in our life!
We are not active breeders but Mâx Bear is an eligible bachelor who is looking for a lady Newf and all inquiries are welcome!
What areas of sport/competition interest you? Mâx loves to volunteer at the hospital as a Therapy Dog!
Do you handle your own dog? Always
Have you earned titles with your dog/s? Tell us about them? Mâx earned his AKC Therapy Dog Novice title and his Canine Good Citizen Advanced title. We are so proud of him!
Do you remember the first time you met a newfoundland? Yes - Cam was walking on Hospital Rounds in his second year of training in the Intensive Care Unit and this adorable Landseer Newf named Mercy came to say hello.
Do you allow your dogs on your bed or furniture? Yes we do, with some rules. :)
Do you groom your own dog? Yes
How to often do you trim your dog's nails? Do you or someone else trim the nails and how do they do it?We sometimes groom ourselves and sometimes use PetSmart grooming or a mobile groomer. We get nails trimmed every month.
Tell us something cute or sweet that your newf does? Mâx Bear loves to dictate which direction we take our walks. He will often plant his Newf paws on the ground and not budge until you decide to go in the direction that he would like to take on his walk.
How has the newfoundland dog impacted your life? Do you have a fond memory that you would like to share? Mâx brings us so much joy in our lives. We are both healthcare providers and when we come home, he stares us down from our front bay window and greets us at the door. He almost always has a "gift" of a toy for us in his mouth. It makes our heart know we are home and have our special guy welcoming us.
Tell us your biggest Newfoundland brag? We were volunteering in the hospital one day and we were asked to visit a patient in the mental health holding area. The patient was in a mental health crisis and had been up all night. Max walked up to the patient and they just stood there together and had a special bonding moment. The patient kept talking for the rest of his stay about how special it was to get a visit from the therapy dog. The staff ask about Max every time I go to work!
