The newfoundland possesses a long and dense hair with a plentiful sub-hair what allows him to live under very rigorous climates and to bathe in any season.

To the puppy the dress is woolly, very fine in the touch, homogeneous. It is only towards the age of 6/8 month that hairs change to become sound adult's hairs.
A regular maintenance is imperative for this type of dog if we do not want to have problems of skin: pyodermite, dry eczema.

It is advised to maintain regularly its dress, it is necessary to brush him regularly to eliminate the dead hair which prevents the skin from breathing and from being aerated.
It is advised to use a velvet swimming crab with long teeth to penetrate well into the already dense fur. To aerate under hair and the skin, a regular blowing is the good solution. A simple hairdryer (with exit with cold air) can be enough to blow him in brush back hairs.

Never to brush in brushes back hairs it breaks hairs.
For knots use a comb wide-toothed comb.

It is recommended to wash his newfoundland with a shampoo adapted to eliminate the dirts and the other parasites responsible for problems of skin. We can wash his newfoundland so often as necessary, the wash no démature not his hairs. For that purpose, it is necessary to use a neutral and specific shampoo to protect sound under hair.

It is necessary to accustom him very young be brushed and washed!

The puppy must not be washed as soon as it arrives home not to perturb him from its arrival to the house.

It is also necessary to teach to him  to be allowed look at teeth, cut nails or unwanted hairs, clean eyes (With a compress and not some cotton), to wash ears with a specific lotion and to wipe them (only the visible part of the ear never to push something farther risks of infection or perforing of the eardrum! Never of cotton stalk) etc....
Indeed rinse his dog in the clear water after a bathing in salt water.

The regular maintenance of your newfoundland can seem binding but makes regularly it will avoid you many problems of health.

Disentangle and wait for the next day for the cup.

Under feet: it is necessary to cut the hairs which overtake between small cushions (in short of the small cushions).
The top of the foot: lift hairs clamped between fingers and cut them in the right scissors (or bend to begin) by forming a pompom (paws of cat). You should not cut them in short, claws do not have to overtake and we do not have to see phalanxes (paws of  Persian cats). (1)
