Karen J, that's wonderfull. Enjoy your new girl. We also wanted to get a rescue or shelter dog but our vet passed away and we couldn't get any records so they just looked at us like we were criminals. It all worked out though, I wouldn't give up my baby for anything.

Karen, I worry about this all of the time. I don't want her to live her life out in pain and I do know both her parent breeds are known for joint problems. Our vet does extensive exams of her joints, especially her large hips. I myself suffer from severe arthritis and I would do anything to spare her from this, she is my baby. I never thought of glucomadine for her. I will ask the vet next visit. We are planning to sign her up for Doggy Daycare before my younger son goes back to college in the fall. I will be the only one home all day with her and I can not give her all of the exercise she needs so I think a day a week will help keep her in shape. There is a great place near us but she will actually have to pass the interview, lol, they actually interview the dog. Thanks for the info,
Nan

Karen, Abby is a Goldendoodle. Her father was a standard poodle and her mother was a golden retriever. We were told she would be between 40 and 45 pounds but her vet just laughs at that. He says between 70 and 80 pounds or more. We too are worried about future joint problems. We try to keep her from jumping on, off, and over everything she can find but that's impossible. She's very active. She was a dark apricot/red when we got her, now she is golden with blond highlights. I think she will be much lighter when fully grown. I don't have any current pictures but I will have to get some. She is now just a big ball of fluff.

Karen, your newfoundland is beautiful. I can't imagine a dog of that size. Our Abby is 6 months old, already 47 pounds and growing. She is my baby but I wish she would just stop growing. lol. Not the pocket-sized puppy we probably should have gotten but I wouldn't give her up for anything.
Philly5, I thought he may be a Lhaso Apso but wasn't sure.
