Also Not Newfies

In our efforts to add a Newfoundland Dog to our family, without actually buying a puppy from a breeder, we have met some very interesting dogs. Here are two fine fellows that were each, at one time, suspected of having Newfoundland ancestry. Of course, neither of these guys is a newfie. One is German Shepherd mixed with Tibetan Mastiff.  The other is likely a Caucasian Shepherd.  Same size, same bulk, same clumsiness and much of the saliva. But very different temperaments. We have never felt so well-defended.
