ODIN FAQ
- Odin is our Newfoundlander. He was born in January 2024 in the Netherlands; he is nine months old in the attached photos.
- Yes, he is very, very, very big. He grew indescribably quickly and yes, he is still growing. We expect him to top out around 80kg.
- He is incredibly sweet, loving, and kind. He has never once shown aggression towards another dog, even though many have tried to preemptively fight him off. He rarely barks. On the other hand, he has no social graces and cannot take a hint when another dog tries to tell him to leave them alone.
- He's an enormous cuddlebug and I have the scars and bruises to prove it.
- We live on the edge of an enormous park, he gets plenty of time to go outside. Newfies are not very high-energy, we don't need some sort of mansion with a private meadow to accommodate his movement needs.
- What he does need is thorough grooming every single day. Yes, he sheds absolute mountains of hair.
- Yes, he inhales thousands of calories of food a day. It will decrease when he's no longer growing like a black hole.
- The drool. You cannot imagine the drool.
- My husband and I love this dog with all our heart and soul. We're often asked "did you realize he'd get this big?", and trust us, it was the most intentional decision of our lives
