	Hello i know i am not a newfoundland (although i swim like one) but my parents are keen on getting me a sister! They say they want a chocolate dry mouth? Whatever that is? We are all making a big move from Northern Ireland back to Ontario Canada this summer to a big farm! Can't wait! So we hope to get my sister once we are settled. Anyone with any information on Newfoundlands or websites to visit would be helpful! It was a dry mouth chocolate that mom fell in love with on a visit to Canada last year but the owner said they are very hard to come by and cost the earth? Any feedback would be helpful

	There is no such thing as a dry-mouthed Newfoundland, just like there is no such thing as a dry-mouthed Saint Bernard. Some will slobber more than others, but they all will slobber, especially around meal time, or in the heat. A chocolate lab might have the same color in a slightly smaller size and would likely not slobber as much as a more jowly breed.

	LOL!! Have you seen me! Slober is not an issue for my mom! It was just the one she seen the guy said that is what it was called, a dry mouth chocolate newfoundland and if we were going to breed them we figured people would rather a dry mouth then a wet one Thanks for the info so that when i breeder says "oh yeah my dogs are dry mouths" i will know he/she is full of crap! I have a fw friends with choc labs, very cute but not as magnificent as a newfoundland no matter what colour! Are the choc rare though?

	Hi Forrest! I think the black ones are most common, followed by Landseers, followed by the chocolate. There's a great landseer breeder around here...at Christmas time, she had three litters totalling 33 puppies! One litter was 17! You can find this breeder online, they're called Blue Heaven Newfoundlands. She told me that the chocolates tend to have behavioral problems, but I haven't found anything which supports this theory. I have talked to my hubby about a brown Newf though, I'd love to have one some day!

	Thanks for looking into it for me! I guess i should do a little more research about the difference in the colours of the breeds too. I will maybe get in touch with them once we are settled in Canada. They really are beautiful no matter what colour , i always wanted one even before i knew they came in chocolate Thanks again for your help!

	I'm not sure if chocolate newf, is a regional term for what I know as the bronze newf. I've seen a bronze newf, and it is beautiful, and pictures just don't do it justice. Ironically, the woman who has him, has had some behavioral issues with him. I've also never heard of a dry-mouthed newf, I know some have tighter lips than others, but never completely dry. Where's the fun in that? :O)

	Mocha is correct.... no such thing as a "dry mouth" Newf. Brown Newfs are gorgeous and a bit more rare than the black. We also come in black and white (Landseer) and grey. Any breed can have behavior issues without good pawrenting and Newfs are no exception. Be ready for a 150lb toddler. You need to be in charge with this breed. They are easy to train because they want to please, but it's a LOT of dog and they need to have an assertive leader. Mom is 110lb human and can walk all of us at the same time without issue. All together we are over 500lbs of drooling fur love! Mocha...... you are becoming a sheer Newf expert! and you need to put the dream of a brown Newf out of your head..... mom said next time Audrey and Stitch decide to have naps on the sofa after a romp in the mud, she's sending them to live with you and Monte!

	Brown Newfs having behavioral problems is utterly incorrect. Not only is it completely impossible for one color to have a bad temperment considering browns are bred to blacks, browns are bred to landseers, black puppies of brown parents bred to other browns, it just doesn't add up that only one color has "issues". If you do not properly train, socialize, etc etc your dog, no matter what the breed, the dog will have "issues". It has nothing to do with color. Someone made that up one day and other people still believe it(JK). Good luck in your search. I recently put a deposit down for my first brown Newfie bitch
