Breed Guide: Newfoundlands!
Added 2021-09-13 20:26:15 +0000 UTCHappy Monday to all my Garfields out there! I hope you're having a good one!
Love these dorks. God, such a treat anytime I get to draw a dog such as this. Melty AND fluffy?! Good lord! I dunno what it is, but it's like a moth to a flame for me. I used to have this book about Snuffaluffagus from Sesame Street when I was a kid, and I'd just open it and stare at the imagery of him for hours on end. I think my obsession started there... We didn't have the internet or TV ok!? Giant floofy creatures was alls we had, and we liked it, damnit!!

One of my all-time favorite dogs was a Newfie mix named Hank. He was so sweet and chill. Also short and stout and kinda looked like a footstool

2021-09-13 23:34:52 +0000 UTCFunny about snuffaluffagous. Snewfaluffagous might be a good name. I always think of the Dr Seuss book, “A fish out of water” when I wonder where my need to have a newfie came from. I love drawing them as well. It’s actually what started my interest in drawing! I have tons of pics if you ever want a good reference! My boy has the most gorgeous big head which leads to lots of drool. I call him Sloppenstein & Goofoundland but snewf-aloof-agous might be heard in my household soon!!

2021-09-13 20:57:40 +0000 UTCSo my first newfie actually combined two of your traits; she first tried saving me from swimming in a pool, and instead ended up in my arms like a bride! And our current newf, Gatsby, wants you to add Japanese beetles to things hidden in their luxurious coats. I’ve actually taken both dead (hidden well as a tangle & may have been live when it first arrived on him), and live out of his coat! He’s two at the end of this month & his coat is already about 5” thick! They are the most awesome needy dogs though! Thanks for this! Spot on & hilarious as usual ♥️🐾
