Newfoundland puppies – photo and growth from one to 6 month

Newfoundlands (divers) are amazing dogs. From the first glances are formidable heroes, severe “bears”. But at the first meeting a representative of a giant breed surprises his good nature and friendliness. The ratio of Newfoundlands to humans special: dogs feel when the owner is sick, in a bad mood. Animals work in emergency services: saving drowning people from “diver” in instincts.

Puppy development

The most active development of Newfoundlands – in the first 1-2 months of life. Kutenok turns from a “Kolobok” into an active young animal: begins to see and hear, run and play. Is passing initial socialization: the future hero learns to “speak” in canine, masters the language of facial expressions, pos. From a young age Newfs begin to raise: with a naughty giant dog in the future coping is not easy.

At 5 months, the adolescent reaches half the size of an adult. By 8 months, the development of Newfoundland is slowing down. According to the parameters this is a mature animal – its skeleton, joints are almost formed. Newf feeding is being rebuilt at this stage – the dog’s body stops growing, it does not need increased intake nutrients. Overeating leads to obesity.

Like all giant dogs, Newfs rarely become centenarians. Life expectancy: 8-12 years.

The development and weight of a Newfoundland puppy by month is shown in the table.

Age (months) Height (cm) at the withers Weight, kg)
1 25-3 0 4 -5
2 35-40 10 -12
3 45-50 16-18
4 55-60 22-25
5 57 -62 27-30
6 60-62 35-36
7 61-63 36-38
8 62-64 38-45
9 64-67 43-46
10 67-69 46-48
eleven 69-70 48-52
12 70-71 52-55

The given parameters are averaged. Slight lag driving is not considered deviations from the norm – this is an individual animal development.

Feeding Features

In order for a newf to fully and timely develop, two components: proper nutrition and physical activity. Schedule feeding the “little bear” changes as it grows older:

  • 1-2 months: 6 times.
  • 2-4: 5 times.
  • 4-8: 4 times.
  • 8-18: 3 times.
  • Older than 1.5 years: 2 times.
  • Older than 3 years: 1 evening feeding.

Little Newfoundlands are gradually introduced into the diet following:

  • finely chopped lean meat;
  • calcined cottage cheese;
  • egg yolk;
  • dairy products: kefir, yogurt, fermented baked milk;
  • porridge (flavored with a small amount of sour cream, honey, creamy oil or syrup of rose hips);
  • boiled fish without viscera, minced through a meat grinder with bones
  • grated boiled vegetables;
  • finely chopped greens: parsley, spinach, young nettle.

Since giants are developing rapidly in the first months of life, calcium that is ingested with food is not enough for full bone growth. Therefore, the puppy always has a bowl with mineral supplement. The owner carefully grinds, mixes between components:

  • bone meal: 2 tbsp. spoons;
  • Epsom salt: 0.5 tsp. spoons;
  • phytin: 40 tablets (20 g);
  • calcium glycerophosphate: 2 packs (20 g);
  • student chalk: 3 tbsp. spoons;
  • dry brewer’s yeast: 100 g;
  • activated carbon: 40 tablets.

If the kitten doesn’t eat the mixture well, the additive is bred with its fish, meat food:

  • In the first month: 1 tea. spoon.
  • From each subsequent month, one more tea is added. spoon.
  • After reaching 5 months, the dosage increase stops. Volume Supplementation persists until the age of 1.5. Then top dressing cancel.

In addition, lactate or calcium gluconate. For 1 month: 20 g of the drug (4-5 tablets). Every two weeks, as the state of a particular puppy, the dose is increased. Him the need for calcium is simply determined: pills – if he eats them willingly, then the dosage is required boost. In the period of active growth, vitamin supplements are important: groups A, D.

In no case should a puppy be offered:

  • bones;
  • pork
  • smoked meat;
  • boiled potatoes;
  • legumes;
  • sweets, chocolate;
  • spoiled foods.

Overfeeding young Newfoundland is harmful – overweight gives heavy load on the fragile skeleton. This may cause deformation of the bones of the back, paws, joint diseases.
