I was venting to a friend about my issue when they told me about this website, I thought; finally, I can let others know! I bought an ACA Registerd Female Newfoundland out of River and Lily in 2007. She came to us at 10 weeks and of course we fell in love right then! When she was two, she was faced with death or an emergency surgery, in which she had to be spayed. From day one, she has leaked urine, constantly. She had multiple visits with our vet and everything came back negative. She now has to get two pills a day to control her urethral sphincter as she has a malformation called, Ectopic ureter. This is very frustrating, not only due to the smell, but because of the extra up keep she requires, not to mention the extra money. Also, when she came to us she was rather lean for a Newfoundland puppy, but I figured she would grow, to live up to the breed standard. WRONG! She matured at 80 pounds and looks more like a Border Collie/Newf mix. She is tiny compared to my male, about half the size. She is also extremely hyper, even now as a five year old. And yes, my dogs get plenty of exercise and have gone through training. She does not act or look like a Newf. I am not saying Sheila is a bad person, I just suggest going to see what you buy - before you buy it. A mistake I will never make again. With that said, I am very disappointed
