Do Newfs Require a lot of exercise?
Not really. However, they do need a moderate amount to stay fit and healthy. As a rule, Newfies arent very self-motivated when it comes to exercise so that responsibility falls on you. Swimming is, of course, the best exercise but I realize that this isnt always possible. A good daily walk or trip to the dog park for some fetch is adequate. Newfs are prone to getting fat and developing all the related health problems that go with it. Thanks to all that hair, its very easy to over-estimate how much to feed them. You should always be able to easily feel your dogs ribs.
