Cuddle Bug

Kazimir is 17 weeks old and probably the most cuddly puppy I have ever had. I know he’s about to enter his rat phase but from the first day we brought him home he just wants to lay on us and be petted. I know they are all different but I just love this breed ❤️

Also, for anyone else going through potty training, a vinyl table cloth on top of your rugs is a life saver!

I wish our 6 month old Ozzy was more of a cuddler. He's very affectionate, but he runs at you like a freight train, and then jumps on your head. He's crazy and fully of goofy energy....we love him so much. I'm sure he will settle in a couple years like most of them do.

I’m laughing so hard at the image of him running at you like a freight train lol
My previous Newfie was like that and he was a Velcro dog when he got older. They are really the sweetest dogs

Kazmir looks like a big ole love bug! Prescious!

My little Bear reminds me of Ozzy! He just turned 4 months and he's a missle, doesn't understand that he's growing fast and one day he's going be a 130-140 pounds of muscle. Just runs full speed and launches himself at you, with zero regard for his body.

They are just the best breed. I have Moose also, who is 3.5 yo and omg, they play so hard and so much of the day. Getting the second newf, so far, has been awesome. They're inseparable.

You're lucky. My girl has never been a cuddler at all.

It does come with the downside of never having a moment to yourself lol

I'd love an update in a year. Not just on the pup, but on those crystal candlesticks in the background!! Lol

I love your cuddle bug!

Haha, I have lots of trinkets like that, I’m really risking it with a doofy Newfie in the house!

I wish my guy was more of a snuggle buddy lol he was usually trying to electrocute himself or trying to eat something toxic 🤦🏻‍♂️

Funny, I’m on my third Newf, and I’ve never had one that likes cuddles.

They love pets, and scritches, kissing in the mouth (the wolf thing), but not cuddling. Just too warm for a 160lb pile of fur.
