tank is about 5 months now and I couldn't ask for a better pup he is calm and knows when its time to play. when he was only a few weeks old I had him ringing a bell to go outside he is a quick learner, it only takes two tries and he has it down for good. I believe that I will always have a New Labralound in my home. they are great with kids and other animals the newfie in them really makes for a calm dog, where the lab in him allows him to be spunky and playful but still well mannered. I couldn't ask for a better companion than Tank. I reccomend the breed to anyone looking for a great family extentsion.
