<description><![CDATA[No two Newf coats are alike, however, over the years I've tried a few things that seem to work pretty well: For itchy, dry, or irritated skin, coal-tar and sulphur shampoo seems to work well. It will stop flaking and can be used directly on hot spots. It must be rinsed very well, but can be used weekly, if necessary.<br /><br />Pin brushes and metal combs are my weapons of choice for keeping a coat healthy. Weekly is usually enough, but every hair has to stand alone, which means combing out any loose undercoat and breaking up even the loosest "clumps". Back brush, back brush, back brush! Unless the dog is absolutely blowing, lightly spraying the coat with water before brushing also seems to help prevent breakage. <br /><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I just did my first class with a 15 month old Newf. He loved it and did really well (even squeezing in the tunnels as long as a tasty treat was at the end). Only problem was the stepping through the "ladder" laid on the ground. He could not get his big paws in each space. I haven't a clue how to help him with this one... <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/dodge.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hey, My name is Susan Garrett, I live in Gulf Breeze, caring for my 85yo Dad. I have been blessed with Newfoundlands since 1975. At the moment I only have one his name is Deacon "Braveheart's Son Of A Preacherman,CGC" Deacon is pointed. I am interested in showing/conformation, water work, draft work &amp; therapy,which I don't consider work at all. Deacon is a big hit at the nursing homes, retirement centers, assisted living &amp; daycare centers. Recently we went to the Cerbal Palsy of Northwest Fla, one kid just fell in love with Deacon, hugging, kissing &amp; laying on him had a fit when we left. At one nursing home a woman who hasn't smiled in quite awhile, burst out in the biggest smile, needless to say Deacon is welcome back at any time. Deacon is a Black, 160 # and will be 4 on Nov 12th. Deacon is the keeper of my heart &amp; secrets. Don't know what I would have done without him these past 2 years. Deacon is compassionate, caring, loving &amp; noble. Where ever we go peolple yell "There's Deacon" People stop their car &amp; get out just to pet him. Deacon's picture is probably over the world as we live close to Pensacola Beach. He goes swimming in Escambia Bay &amp; the Gulf Of Mexico. I hope to meet ya fairly soon &amp; join your club!! <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/cheesey.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' />   <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/wink.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Fellow Newf-Flas, I'd like to share this, from Brenda Macquarta of Twin Branch.  Of course most folks know Brenda's Saints, but she used to also have what she calls "The Black Bandits" , her late, beloved Newfs, Lash &amp; Jammie.<br />Dear Protector of Dogs and Fools,<br /><br />When that intelligent, hardworking, honest judge finally sees what I<br /><br />see in this dog I've worked so hard and long with, help me to accept<br /><br />my win with grace and dignity. And, when that blind, clueless<br /><br />idiot - I mean, judge - somehow fails to see what a fine job we've<br /><br />done (well, at least better than the so-and-so he placed ahead of<br /><br />us!), help me to accept my defeat with some of that same grace and<br /><br />dignity.<br /><br />Lord, you alone know how I've sweated blood over this dog, the hours<br /><br />I've spent getting him ready (and, Lord, are any of them ever<br /><br />ready?). You (and probably only you!) understand why I've spend<br /><br />good money on this animal - money I could have spent on lots of<br /><br />other things, things that just might have afforded me a little more<br /><br />pleasure and a lot less frustration.<br /><br />Lord, tolerate my disappointment when I lose, and help me keep it<br /><br />all in perspective. Help me remember that when some dog show judge<br /><br />gives me the gate, it's not as if St. Peter just gave me those<br /><br />pearly ones.<br /><br />Lord, clear my eyes and help me see before I open my big mouth, that<br /><br />the so-and-so with the cow-hocked, pony-gaited dink walking out of<br /><br />the ring ahead of me is actually a fellow exhibitor who has also<br /><br />worked hard, maybe even sweated blood over her dog too, and probably<br /><br />deserves to enjoy this moment to its fullest, as it shall not happen<br /><br />again!<br /><br />Lord, you know there are some times - but not nearly as often as I<br /><br />tend to suppose - when such ugly things as Politics, Prejudice and<br /><br />Unethical Practices may cause my dog to get beaten unfairly<br /><br />sometimes. Help me, then, to remember that several wrongs won't<br /><br />ever make a right, and that none of those wrongs gives me an excuse<br /><br />to act like an idiot.<br /><br />You know I'm a competitor, Lord; I make no bones about that. I love<br /><br />to win and I hate to get beat. There are few things more abhorrent<br /><br />to me, Lord, than placing sixth out of six. If I didn't love to<br /><br />compete, I'd stay home and knit afghans. But then, there are<br /><br />probably afghan shows, and people who hire professional knitters<br /><br />with high-tech knitting machines, and most likely there are afghan<br /><br />show judges who raise sheep whose wool goes into some of the<br /><br />winningest afghans, and there I'd be - still frustrated, still<br /><br />getting beat, and without a dog to share half the blame.<br /><br />This year, Lord, help me to have a little more faith in my fellow<br /><br />dog folks, and for Heaven's sake, help me win, or lose, with a<br /><br />little class!<br /><br />AMEN]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[i there, All you Dog Show Afficianados,<br />This is your belated dog show report, from your<br />ringside reporter/crazywoman:<br />On Sat.  Marie of Checkrd Flag in GA took Winners<br />bitch and best of Winners for a major for her<br />beautiful young lady, Winky.  Yeah Winky!  Her<br />handsome special boy , Dolby took breed.  Gerri<br />Willis' inventive, energetic boy, Buddy took Winners<br />Dog for 1 point. I happen to love Buddy, and I often<br />beg Gerri to send Buddy here because his mischief<br />entertains me in a big way.  Hooray Buddy!<br />Benita Ebb's' beautiful special girl Ellie took Best<br />Of Opposite.   Atta girl, Ellie!<br />All the entrants were terrific.  Kim Chonka's 2 girls<br />were making competition very hard to choose between,<br />as was Janice's Devila  and my little friend, Riley,<br />who  owns Gerri Willis.  My Chickie was her usual<br />unpredictable self in the ring.  On Saturday she<br />waited until she was in with all the other girls<br />behind her, and when she heard them coming along she<br />kept looking behind her, about had a panick attach<br />thinking, "Thry're after me!".  Anyway, Chickie got<br />milage.<br />On Sunday, the girls' results were the same, The judge<br />seemed to deliberate long and hard, choosing Best Of<br />Breed, but again chose Dolby and this time Beau was<br />Winners Dog, earning him 1 point.  Congrats to all the<br />winners.<br />Beau needs 1 more point to finish.  I was telling<br />someone that it feels like we have been showing Beau<br />for 10 years, however, as he isn't even 3 years old<br />yet, my calculations must be off.  We hope to finish<br />this coming Sunday in Jacksonville, FL<br />We went to Dog Show School last night.  Beau, by this<br />point, is as well educated, if not more so, than my<br />youngest 2 legged child. With as much schooling as<br />he's had, he ought to have his BS, MS and PHD.  As far<br />as I can tell, all he has accumulated is his DS (if<br />you are in doubt as to the meaning of DS, look under<br />the pooper scooper).<br />Mickey]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This question was sent to me by a guest visitor, please reply with all your experiences...<br /><br />My wife and I had two Newfs in our family for about 13-14 years both of whom passed away early last year.  We were located in various parts of the northeastern U.S while they were with us.  We have subsequently moved to Mobile, Alabama and while we would like to open our home to another Newf, we're concerned about the warmer weather's effect.  Any experiential insight into this from your Florida constituency will be much appreciated.  Thanks for your help.<br /><br />Thanks folks... <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/amazed.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I just want to thank Gerri and all those who assisted in making Saturdays event so enjoyable and educational. I now have the resolve to pursue at least a Draft title on 2 of my girls and maybe a Water on 1. I am admiting this publicly so you all will hold me to it. I learned a lot from George and the Draft crew but first and formost I relized that this is something I did enjoy along with the dogs. Thanks to all again and I think we need to do this again,soon.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Does anyone else do agility with their newfs - or done it in the past? Has anyone got competitive with it? I feel that one of my boys has real "agility ability" and is quite fast, but I worry about putting too much stress on his body (let alone mine!) Weave poles are the latest challenge. Very amusing to watch. <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/angry.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Subject: ATTN DOG OWNERS--TOXIC TO DOGS<br /><br />i investigated and this is sadly very true<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Please pass this along to anyone who has a dog..... <br /><br />WARNING Dog Owners - Confirmed at: <br />http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/raisins.asp <br /><br /> <br /><br />This week I had the first case in history of raisin toxicity ever seen at <br />MedVet. <br /><br />   My patient was a 56-pound, 5 yr old male neutered lab mix who ate half a <br />canister of raisins sometime between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM on Tuesday. He started <br />with vomiting, diarrhea and shaking about 1AM on Wednesday but the owner didn't <br />call my emergency service until 7AM. <br /><br /> I had heard somewhere about raisins AND grapes causing acute Renal failure <br />but hadn't seen any formal paper on the subject. We had her bring the dog in <br />immediately. In the meantime, I called the ER service at MedVet, and the doctor <br />there was like me - had heard something about it, but.... <br /><br />   Anyway, we contacted the ASPCA National Animal Poison Control Center and <br />they said to give I V fluids at 1 ½ times maintenance and watch the kidney <br />values for the next 48-72 hours. <br /><br />    The dog's BUN (blood urea nitrogen level) was already at 32 (normal less <br />than 27) and creatinine over 5 (1.9 is the high end of normal). Both are <br />monitors of kidney function in the bloodstream. We placed an IV catheter and <br />started the fluids. Rechecked the renal values at 5 PM and the BUN was over 40 <br />and creatinine over 7 with no urine production after a liter of fluids. At the <br />point I felt the dog was in acute renal failure and sent him on to MedVet for a <br />urinary catheter to monitor urine output overnight as well as overnight care. <br /><br />    He started vomiting again overnight at MedVet and his renal values have <br />continued to increase daily. He produced urine when given lasix as a diuretic. <br />He was on 3 different anti-vomiting medications and they still couldn't control <br />his vomiting. Today his urine output decreased again, his BUN was over 120, his <br />creatinine was at 10, his phosphorus was very elevated and his blood pressure, <br />which had been staying around 150, skyrocketed to 220. He continued to vomit and <br />the owners elected to euthanize. <br /><br />   This is a very sad case - great dog, great owners who had no idea raisins <br />could be a toxin. Please alert everyone you know who has a dog of this very <br />serious risk. Poison control said as few as 7 raisins or grapes could be toxic. <br /><br /><br />   Many people I know give their dogs grapes or raisins as treats including <br />our ex-handler's. Any exposure should give rise to immediate concern. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<br />This, from Brenda MacQuarta, <br />I wanted to share it.  I thought it was very thought provoking.<br />Mickey<br /><br />" What Is A Title Really?"<br /><br />Not just a brag, not just a stepping stone to a higher Title, not just<br /><br />an adjunct to competitive scores.<br /><br />A Title is a tribute to the dog that bears it, a way to honor the<br /><br />dog, an ultimate memorial. It will remain in the record and in the<br /><br />memory for about as long as anything in this world can remain. Few<br /><br />humans will do as well or better in that regard. And though the dog<br /><br />himself doesn't know or care that his achievements have been<br /><br />noted, a Title says many things in the world of humans, where such things<br /><br />count.<br /><br />A Title says your dog was intelligent, and adaptable, and<br /><br />good-natured. It says that your dog loved you enough to do the things<br /><br />that please you, however crazy they may have sometimes seemed. And a<br /><br />Title says that<br /><br />you loved your dog, that you loved to spend time with him because he<br /><br />was a good dog, and that you believed in him enough to give him yet<br /><br />another chance when he failed, and that in the end your faith was<br /><br />justified.<br /><br />A Title proves that your dog inspired you to have the special<br /><br />relationship enjoyed by so few; that in a world of disposable creatures,<br />this dog with a<br /><br />Title was greatly loved, and loved greatly in return. And when that<br /><br />dear short life is over, the Title remains as a memorial of the finest<br /><br />kind, the best you can give to a deserving friend, volumes of praise<br /><br />in one small set of initials before or after the name.<br /><br />A Title is nothing less than love and respect, given and received<br /><br />permanently.<br /><br />Author unknown<br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Well Jess and I took the plunge into obedience with Roz and Grrrly. We attended our first class Tuesday and of course had the largest dogs there, I think all the shih tzu and boston people got together and decided to train in our class(oh yea). There was a total of 10 dogs so she divided into two time frames so next week we will only have 5 so it's will be more  personal. She is willing to work with Jess and I on things that will help us with our draft stuff which is our main goal along with maybe a Rally or CD, we'll see. Wish us luck as we have never done this type of thing before.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[i recently joined the icq newoundland chat.  it shows about 45-50 members which is substantial.  it seems though that the same 5-6 people are the only folks that use it.  i just wanted to make sure all of my new fiends in fl have the scoop on the chat group.  if you do not have the info to join, go to www.icq.com and set up a user account.  then click on the "groups" link.  click on the "d" link in the alphabet list.  sect "dogs" from the list of "d" options.select "newfoundland dogs" from that list.  navigate thru the join procedure and the moderator (chuck, i think) will have to approve your request. chuck checks as often as she can to approve everyone but be patient. chat is every night at 6:00 p.m.  if you have any question, email 'em to me.  sorry if everyone already has this info.  shannon]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<div style='text-align:center'>The gallery appears to be working correctly now so all NEWFFLA members should be able to upload pictures into their own galleries which can still be viewed by other members. Bonnie seems to have had some success uploading photos.<br /><br />Now that the functions appear to be working just a couple of quick tips. When you select any type of album or selection under the gallery and then click on a picture you will notice that several buttons appear along the top of the picture. These allow you to do several actions <br /><br /> <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/newspost_images/scroll.jpg' class='bbcode' alt=''  /> <br /><br />From left The book takes you back to the thumbnail menu, the i sign gives information on the image, the clapper board starts the slide show that will scroll through the entire album that you are viewing, the envelope will set up an email so you can email this image, and the left and right arrows go manually backward and forward through the images.<br /><br />I use the slideshow all the time and it is a nice way to see all the images that have been loaded without having to manually scroll through them.<br /><br />Hope that this helps.<br /><br />PAL</div>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi all,<br /><br />I am in the process of resizing all my pictures so I can upload them to the gallery. I am requesting that anybody that has pictures of Lakhota in his kilt please send them to me via e-mail or snail mail. Since Mom and Dad weren't there this year, they would like to see all the pictures we can get. In addition, we would like to show them to my grandfather who will be 98 on Christmas Eve. He is still mentally sharp as a tack, but unfortunately his body is not. So I would like to get them to him ASAP. Thank you all in advance. <br /><br />I will also be posting pictures from the Eukanuba National Championship from Tampa this past January. The pictures are of our booth and were taken by Sue Berman. I have been working on scanning in older photos as well, and have also found pictures from previous parades to add to the gallery. This will take a bit of time, as the scanning is time consuming. I will also be posting pictures from a water fun day at Kim Chonko's house back in somewhere around 1995 or so. Since Kim can't seem to find any good pictures of her landseer girl Whistle, I have a few from this event.<br /><br />Would love to see more people posting pictures to the site. If anyone needs any help, Paul is wonderful about helping and getting right back to people. I can also help anyone trying to upload to the site. It is very easy and painless to do.<br /><br />Can't wait to see all your pics!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It has taken me a few days to be able to write that my 17 year old cat, Ratty, passed away in my arms at home, 6:30 pm Tuesday, January 2, 2007. She has been my constant companion and best friend since she was 7 weeks old. <br /><br />For those of you who didn't know Ratty, she was my deaf white cat with one blue eye and one yellow. Her name was originally Brianon, but over time it was changed to Putty Tat, then Puddy Wat to Puddy Rat to just plain Rat or Ratty. Since she was deaf, she didn't care either way as long as we never called her late for dinner. Ratty never knew she was a cat. She grew up with dogs and thought she was a dog. She was by far the SWEETEST cat in the world. Even though she never had a litter, she was incredibley maternal. She mothered every animal that she ever came in contact with. It was amazing to watch her groom the rabbits, guinea pigs, lovebird, cockatiel, oppossums, prairie dogs, owls, turtles, snakes, baby alligators. You name it, if it was in this house, she would groom it and love it. I could trust her with ANY animal that came in here. I knew she would never hurt anything. She loved people as well. She always had a kiss for everyone. Even the vet techs right after her surgery when she was spayed. They were shocked. I guess they hadn't been around to many cats who like to give kisses. She loved car rides and eating. Those were her two favorite things. <br /><br />My days have been dimmer without her light! I still see her around every corner. The other two cats P.I.T.A. and Sixes are definitely missing her. And Lakohta, Ranger and Precious were all with us as she crossed to the bridge to meet up with her other best friend, Honey, my sheltie I had for 15 1/2 years before she passed. Ratty and Honey used to love to wrestle together and sleep together. I take heart in knowing that they are both happy and healthy wrestling together and waiting for me and the rest of the family to join them.<br /><br />Goodbye, my seet love! My heart is briken without you! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br /> <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/frown.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<div style='text-align:center'>Another question asked by a web site visitor regarding migrating to and from Florida with a Newf. Responses would be appreciated...<br /><br />   We have had two Newfies.  We lost our Lucy in 2005.  Our new Newfie Ruby will be one this month.  We never brought our other Newfie to Florida with us because of the heat and the park we stayed in did not allow pets, she always got to go stay with her mother and her 2 sisters, which was good for her and fun.  Well things have changed, she is gone and so is her family.  I have a friend who has watched our new Newfie for a day or two in an emergency, she owns a sheep farm and Ruby gets really good care., quite smelly but fun.  We are going camping in a travel trailer to Bahia Honda State Park where they now let pets in.  My husband does not think that a Newfie can take the heat.  I say she can.  She can do what we do, go in the ocean, go in the gulf, stay in the air-conditioning.  She has the thinner wavy silky hair, not like our other Newfie who was a wooly booly, and had to be shaved at times.  I found your sight and obviously Newfies can live in Florida so for sure they can visit, unless coming form 20-30 degrees to 80 would make a big difference, and how does the salt water effect them?  I was hoping you could give me a little information and some encouragement to my husband that this was not a bad idea.  I also wondered about insects and the control of them around her besides the frontline.  She of course would be in the trailer except for walks etc.  Thank You.<br /><br />Karen Marterstich</div>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[My newf is almost 2 yr old and for the past 5-6 mos he has been scatching and chewing almostc constantly. We were using frontline and having to use it every two weeks instead of oncea month. We just got him neutered (training him to be a moility assist dog) and the vet said that fleas can build up an imunity to medicine (never heard of that before) so we switched to k9-advantage and he still scratches. We have giving him garlic and "daily smart bites" for skin and coat. Like I said he's almost 2 but with his sratching and chewing he is losing his hair and looks older than out chowmastif mix and he's almost 13. What can anybody recomend. Thank you.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<div style='text-align:center'>Mickey and Larry sent me some pictures of a feeding station setup that they use for their Newfs et al. Here is the letter that Mickey sent me...<br /><hr>I'm not sure where these should go, but these are pictures of the home made plastic food and water stations we made for our big babies.  They are the 32  gal. size plastic totes which are sold in most stores (Target, Lowe's, Dollar General, etc.), are less expensive than the metal stands, don't tip over, rust and are easy to clean.  They are the perfect height for our Newfs and when used outdoors, keep the ground dirt out of their water.<br /><br />Larry simply  takes the lids, measures the stainless steel bowls under the lip, uses a compass and pencil to mark and saws the bowl sized circles out. I thought others might find these helpful.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Mickey Sterling<br /><hr><img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/custom/feedstation1.jpg' class='bbcode' alt=''  /> <br /><br /><img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/custom/feedstation2.jpg' class='bbcode' alt=''  /> <br /><br /><img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/custom/feedstation3.jpg' class='bbcode' alt=''  /> <br /></div>]]></description>

I felt the need to get back to Gulf Breeze to check on my Dad. I hope someone was able to eat the dinner I ordered, I so wanted to go to the meeting &amp; dinner.

Also Thanks to everyone who liked the loves of my Life, Deacon "Braveheart's Son Of A Preacherman,CGC,TDI" &amp; Lyric "Birchbark's Sky's The Limit" who totally suprised me by being so good. I had my camera's with me but didn't take any pictures if anyone has some of Deacon or Lyric would ya'll contact me. I would love to have actually all the pictures taken &amp; I'll pay ya'll for them. Lyric really is a shedevil, can't figure out what was going on in her pretty head. I hope to see everyone again!!!

<description><![CDATA[Hi Everyone,<br /><br />We are owned by an 'Almost' 2 year old Newfie called Harry.  <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/smile.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' />   He is almost exactly 1 month younger than my youngest son, they are best of friends, although both of them are still a bit too 'excitable' to hangout together.  I think it is ok, the wife just about has a heart attack everytime William gets knocked down by Harry.  Of course, William bounces back up and starts yelling for 'Harry' and tries to hug him.<br /><br />We currently live up in Maryland, but are hoping to move down to Florida by the end of this summer.  I was wondering what suggestions you all might have to help us with this move?<br /><br />Not quite sure what area we are going to move into, kinda depends on job offers, but I am thinking either the Jackonsville, Orlando or Tampa areas.  Right now we are kinda leaning towards Jacksonville.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Do you all shave your Newf's for the summer?  If not all of them, maybe their lower halves?<br /><br />I ask because a Vet had suggested this for Harry last year.  Last year we found out that he had a Spinal Infection and it had gotten bad enough that it was starting to effect him.  Anyways, as he was being treated for it, it seemed that he was HOT all the time, and one of the Vets he was visiting had suggested shaving his belly areas so that he 'Looked' Newfie, but would be cool when he layed down (which works in theory, except that Harry likes to sleep on his back).<br /><br />I believe I have also heard that you should shave a "New to the South" newf the first summer and after that they would be ok.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Up here where we live we have a couple of dog parks where dogs are allowed to swim.  But their owners are not supposed to swim with them.<br /><br />Are there such areas in Florida?  (we will probably be up in Jacksonville).  Are you allowed to swim with your dog also?  I ask as Harry is great about baths, but that moving water???? Not so sure about that... LOL I think he would go in if he saw me having fun in there.<br /><br />Lastly, down in Florida  you all have a couple of Pesky little critters (with lots of teeth) that hang out in the water, that we don't have so much in Maryland.  Is that really an issue, or something to be concerned about?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Mickey the moron here, Folks! <br /> I was in Tallahassee on the Sat of our regional, helping fold up Susan Garrett's 48" crate, when I stupidly put my Walmart package of pictures down in the grooming area.  We no more than loaded Susan's crate, that I ran down the sidewalk to help move Bonnie's new crate from the vender's stall to Lori's motorhome.  At the dinner that night I wanted to give the pics to those who had been at the St Pete Match the week before and discovered my pictures were missing.  On Monday at the Dolthan, AL show, that nice man who owns Jefferson, and whose name escapes me at this moment recognised Larry from the pics he had found in their grooming area.  He told us he gave them to someone in our club.  Does anyone have our pictures? ( Hint: they would be pics of Newfs and people at the St Pete match)<br />Thanks<br />Mickey]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Have not posted in awhile, so I thought I' d confess. Have been busy with a new litter at my home, aka Mink River. Cosette, Ch Sandycove Loves Immortal has been here for awhile and has produced four beautiful pups. Born March 12, they are now three weeks old and doing well. Looks like Basil (MBISS Ch Steppin Out at Poohbear ROM) has left his mark. I am enjoying them to the fullest. Across the state Gracie, Sandycoves Loving Grace, has three good looking pups from Einstein, Ch Sandycove's Love at First Sight, born March 20.<br />Hopefully all of these pups can remain Florida Newfs, and their families/owners can be involved with Newf-Fla.<br />Will be posting a few photos, taken by Nicole, in the gallery.

<description><![CDATA[Well, the Nationals are over and we had an excellent time. There were several Newf-Fla members that attended. Gerri Willis with Brando and Denise Rodenbough's Henley, Janice Hoffenberg and Dov, Nancy and Mark Aliff and kids with Annie and Gibson, Judy Ziffer with Cyrus, Nicole Wilcox, Lenny and myself with Lakhota and Ranger, and a surprise visit from Janine Packard with Cherokee and Harvey on her way out to Idaho. She just moved to Idaho and started her new job as a park ranger up in the panhandle of the state. We will definitely miss her! But I wish her all the best in her new endeavors! Apparently Kristi and Ken Calleja and Stormy are also moving out there sometime around December, as Ken got a job there coaching football.<br /><br />Now for the brags, Brando earned his Draft Dog title on Thursday at the Nationals! Sunday was the first draft test and there were only 2 qualifiers and 1 requalifier. The freight haul was insane. It was a gorgeous Sunday afternoon with temperature in the 80's and ont a cloud in the sky. By the time the dogs got to the freight haul, there were a million people and dogs in the park. The park was in Golden, about 20 minutes from the show sight. It was situated on a river. The freight haul went along the river on a sidewalk path. There were tons of people and dogs in the river. Some swimming, many kayaking. There were dogs both on and off leash all along the trail. Bicycle riders zooming past the dogs on the sidewalk from both directions. People portaging their kayaks from one part of the river to another carrying the kayaks at dog height on the trail, coming right at the dogs. I have never seen anything like it. Amazingly, Brando was doing really well until the back half of the trail which was up on the higher bank of the river. All of a sudden, Brando decided he had had enough pulling and wanted to take a swim! He was so determined to go, that he was actually going over a barrier to head down the steep bank. Gerri had to grab the back wheels of the cart to stop him from going over and injuring or drowning himself. Luckily they were able to try again on Thursday, where Brando did a great job and got his title!!!<br /><br />Brando also got his first leg in Rally Advanced B on Tuesday. He wasn't showing on Monday and on Wednesday he was a bit distracted, so Gerri pulled him. Lakhota competed in Rally Advanced A on Monday and got his first leg and a 2nd place. We were so proud of him. We had not practiced one iota before going to Nationals and I didn't even think he would qualify. Boy was I surprised and thrilled that he not only qualified, but placed. He had an absolute blast doing it. Unfortunately later that day Lakhota fell and injured his hind end. (He fell on his right hip and aggravated his osteoarthritis.) When we went in to the Obedience ring for Novice A, we were excused because he was limping. We ended up spending Tuesday morning at the vet with him getting radiographs done to make sure he didn't break anything. Thank doG! So unfortunately I had to pull him from the rest of the obedience and Rally trials. He is now on Zubrin and back to his normal self! Henley showed in the AOC class in conformation on Thursday, while Gerri was at the draft test. Lenny and I stayed to watch him show. Dave Rich showed him for Gerri and did an excellent job with him. Henley looked great and really looked like he belonged in the ring with all the northern dogs! We were really proud of him. He didn't place, but he sure could have. Janice and Dov did a great job in the Rodeo, and kept the crowd very entertained. Dov did her 3 tricks very well and we were impressed! They were also one of the best teams at the barrel race. <br /><br />I took lots of pictures and video and I will post a link on the forum once I have uploaded the to my snapfish photo albums.<br /><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I am sad to report that another Beach Bear Newf has crossed the bridge. Skippy, Beach Bears Black as Ink, was having more and more difficulty moving around since returning to us a few months ago and his rear finally gave out this weekend. We had to make the final decision. Skippy was out of my second litter and a very big boy. He was half brother to Lew's Oh My and my Dixie. His first family went through a divorce when he was about one so he came back home to us. We did a few dog shows with him and ran into Phyllis and Ray Tustin at the Ft Myers show. They fell in love with him so he went to live with them for the next 8 years. Unfortunatly they both became quite ill recently and Skippy returned to where his life started, with us. He fell right in step with the girls and you would have thought he had always lived with us. We will miss the "Big Lug"even tho he was only here a short time.]]></description>

There are two blacks and one landseer. They all get along with my girls and are very active. One is not good with cats the other two are some what OK. They are better suited for a family that have children that are above 10 or so, a little to hyper. One has been worked in basic obedience and they probably would do well in agility.

<description><![CDATA[Folks,<br /><br />I received the following query and am posting here. Please reply here if you can help out.<br /><br /><hr>We have been in Florida for two years and have not yet joined the Florida Newfoundland Club but want to.  My husband Joe has been Newf owners for 30+years - we have had several rescues but our current dog is 4 and in need of foster parents for two months or so.  One potential problem, he is not neutered as my husband would like to breed him first, so we would need to inform the host of that fact.  What information do you need on him to help us try to find a loving home for him while my husbands job takes him out of town and I am traveling to Michigan with my daughter and her children and animals?<br /><br />You could email me, or call my husband Joe at 989-280-9966 on his cell phone.  Captain Barnicle Bill is with Joe in his 5th wheel in Alabama now (they have been traveling with a construction crew for 6 months) but Joe has to live out of hotels for the next 60 days or so and can't keep Captain with him.  I can't fit him in my small car while I travel to Michigan - and I don't think he will do well in a kennel for all that time as he is such a people dog.<br /><br />Do you have any suggestions for placement in either northern or central Florida or even in Alabama or southern Tennessee?????  Thank you for your assistance.  Oh, and could you email or mail an application?  I didn't see on on your website.<br /><br /><br />Patricia Stone<br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[How many of you have been affected by the dog food recalls? What are your thoughts on this situation? I feed mine raw so it does not affect my dogs but I have found it quite disturbing to say the least. Since moving to the ranch almost 2 years ago I have been raising my own meats for the dogs as well as ourselves and I am now in the process of adding a garden and orchard. It is a lot of work but very rewarding in the end. Just courious on how you all are dealing with the recall.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Well, we are completely settled. The kids have had dinner and our bags are unpacked. (The truck is even washed) I want to say THANK YOU to all of you. Those that I met for the first time and those of you that I got see again and learn more about. The kids and I had a great weekend. Kim, I can't get Guiness (Ginzo) out of my head, THANKS!!!!!! Bonn, the kids and I enjoyed you and had a great afternoon on Saturday. Geri, you made me (and the kids) feel so good. You really touched me. Bonnie said to me early on when I met her that it seems that dogs usually are a great reflection of their people, and if each of you were dogs you'd be Newfs!!! Big cuddly loving Newfs!!!!! ('cept Mickey, she'd be a smaller girl Newf) Mickey, I wish there was something I could do to help you get things back to normal, if there is any way I can, I'd be happy to. Jessica, if I have to hear your name from my girls again, I am sending them to live in YOUR room!!!!!!!!!!! They got a kick out of you, you speak their language. Again, thank you all, and I can't wait to see you again. Please, if any of you want to get down this way for a show or just for social time, please know you are welcome here ANYTIME. Jacqui]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I'm wondering who's going. I'm thinking of going so I can meet some new faces, but I'm leery of going if I don't know anybody there. (I know that sounds dumb, but I really am shy) I also wonder if there is anything to do close by as I will have the husband and the kids with me and I don't want them to be bored. We figure since we are going that way, we will stay overnight somewhere and then take them to the Space Center on Sunday.<br />Jax]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Good evening,<br /><br />I am looking for information regarding elbow anomaly.  I have Newfie pup that is nearing 7 months old.  He was x-rayed today and was diagnosed with elbow anomaly: his ulna and radius are not growing at the same rate.  I've tried researching the net for more details, but most things come back to this being a fairly new disease in Newfies.  I've contacted my breeder for advice, and her first thought was that my pup has down pasterns and I should add more calcium to his diet.  My vets feel this is not something that will go away and additional calcium may actually make it worse.  Whatever resources you can direct me to would be wonderful.  Also, is this something I should report to the AKC or some other agency?  I appreciate any help you can give me.  I'm feeling extremely overwhelmed and undereducated.  The little bit of info I do find re: this condition has a very bleak outcome for the pups.  I'm sure I don't have to describe the pain that both our spectacular pup and our family is going through.<br /><br />Thank you,<br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Thank you Gerri for hosting a practice day on Sunday. We had a great time - dogs and kids - and, best of all, the dogs (and one of the kids) got to swim in the pond afterwards. I would like to encourage anybody who thinks they might like to give drafting a try, to attend the practice and fun-days coming up, even if you are not planning to compete. Our dogs really enjoy it, and you do not have to own all the equipment to attend, as there is plenty to go around.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have a 6 month old newf who began to seriously limp one week ago...thinking he pulled a muscle in his upper paw, the vet took x-rays to discover both elbows are fractured...I am devestated.  We are totally in love with our pup and it  hurts my heart to see my baby in pain.  She put him on pain meds and has told me that he must be given 4-6 weeks of crating and no play for these elbows to heal...in addition she has recommended accupunture?<br />I would love anyones thoughts and opinions.  I have x-rays and live in Port Orange, Florida.  Wow, what a shock.  She also said no swimming.  ONLY REST.  Please advise.  THANK You in advance.  Deb Trovato]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Anyone have a good Dog Trainer or Behaviorist that they'd recommend in the Jaconsville area?  Harry needs some help (if it is possible).  He's had a rough life (had a few "Infection Hots Spots" on his spine), and does not trust people he doesn't know.  By doesn't trust, I mean attempts to eat them.  To be honest, his reaction seems to be a very protective reaction, in that if I can get someone to take his leash (like at a Vet or boarding), he is fine and after a few mintues is their buddy.  But when people comes to visit he goes nuts, and I have to keep him kenneled the whole time.<br /><br />I could also use a dog trainer reccomendation as my sister is picking up a puppy in the next month or so and i want to get her started right!!!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[hi all~<br /><br /> i signed up here months ago as i knew our next dog would be a newfie- i love them! we were going to buy them thru a local breeder and have slowly been doing research....... well i got myself into  a little pickle when i saw that a  shelter about 3 hours away had puppy newfies that they rescued.............yesterday they said they werent sure if they were pure bred but that they looked it but couldnt be guaranteed- i drove with all 4 kids( 2 babies) and when we got there , she said the vet thought it might be mixed with a shepherd but wasnt certain............i was told a could do a dna testing to see..........has anyone done that before.......my main concern is that i wanted a newfie purely because of their temperment- if its mixed with something else, it wil not be as sweet.........( though alot has to do with upbringing) maybe i could email someone pictures of them who has extensive knwledge in the way of the pups as far as to what they are...... im a wee bit dissapointed as my husband and children figured we might as well get them since they were very loving( and the 6 hour trip really made that decision)- and without knowing for certain, is a little dissapointing as im sure all you newfie lovers out there understand....... one thing about these pups is they never ever have nipped any of us( i think their 10 weeks ) and theyre very cuddly.....all the other puppy breeds we have been around have all nipped and been very roudy with the baby and 2 year old- these didnt do it all..any thoughts?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Ok as I have said before Iam really interested in the Newf breed however I have never met one. So my question is what do you do to greet? How do you tell the owner?Do they jump on you and start licking your face or something? I have heard that you should never run up to one because although they can be friendly and affectionate to strangers they do have some protective instinct that may be kicked up if you run up to one. So can anyone help the newfless guy down in the newfless sun of Miami.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi, I have not yet been able to figure out the site ratings for members. (number of newf heads in a member's profile, etc.) I am guessing one is just a basic member, I see site admin has four. So, it goes from one to four dog heads, but what do they mean? Officer, committee member, activity level??? If I missed the explanation somewhere on the site, please also let me know where it is. I did look to see if I could find it but I was unsuccessful. Not a big deal, just curious. <br /><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi. <br /><br />I am trying to learn as much as I can about the breed, as I am considering becoming a Newfie mom some time in the future. (not the near future, possiblly a couple of years) I want to be well informed and well prepared prior to making that commitment. I have never attended a dog show in my life, only a few horse shows when I lived in the northwest. I am interested in attending a few dog shows, and meeting a few responsible newfie owners and their dogs within a reasonable distance from my home. I currently live in Jensen Beach, so Orlando to Tampa, Fort Meyers, to Fort Lauderdale would be within reasonable driving distance for me.  I do not intend to breed. Just interested in a great pet/buddy.  I have been reading about your events, the water and drafting events look like they are a lot of fun. I really want to attend the parade, but I can't make it that weekend. If there are any upcoming shows in the south or central FL area in the near future, please let me know. <br /><br />I have also been reading a lot about the importance of getting to know the breeder and knowing the health and soundness of the parents prior to buying a puppy or dog, contracts, guarantees, whether or not they will take back a sick dog or a dog you cant keep for some reason, etc. I have been checking out some newf rescue sites online as well. Also proper nutrition, and added concerns  regarding extra large breeds, not to mention the special needs of a Newfoundland. There is just SO MUCH to learn! I will keep reading and researching.I also love to read all of your posts, and would like to meet active "newfie people" so I can see what it will take to give my future baby a proper home and the proper care. <br /><br />Thanks!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[How many of you use alternative medicine for your dogs, ie chiropractic, acupuncture etc? I have starting to go to a well known equine vet that does small animal and humans as well. I am amazed at the results we have gotten with Guinness' elbow displasia. I have a video of him before and will take some now and then in several months to show the progress. I am taking him in on the 13th to have the gold beads implanted and I am taking my old girl Dixie in to see if we can make her more comfortable. I have discussed with her several other issues that my dogs have and so far she should be able to help with them all. At the first of the year I plan on trying her out myself, maybe she can make me feel a little younger <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/amazed.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' />  I would love to hear from others concerning their experances,thoughts, and any imput.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Was sharing St. Augustine stories with my "northern" Newf Group and a member sent the following... thought you all would not only enjoy it...but relate to it!!!<br /><br />Just A Dog<br /><br />From time to time, people tell me, “lighten up, it’s just a dog,” or, “that’s a<br />lot of money for just a dog.”<br /><br />They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs<br />involved for “just a dog.”<br /><br />Some of my proudest moments have come about with “just a dog.”<br /><br />Many hours have passed and my only company was “just a dog,” but I did not once<br />feel slighted.<br /><br />Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by “just a dog,” and in those<br />days of darkness, the gentle touch of “just a dog” gave me comfort and reason to<br />overcome the day.<br /><br />If you, too, think it’s “just a dog,” then you will probably understand phrases<br />like “just a friend,” “just a sunrise,” or “just a promise.”<br /><br />“Just a dog” brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure<br />unbridled joy.<br /><br />“Just a dog” brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better<br />person.<br /><br />Because of “just a dog”, I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly<br />to the future.<br /><br />So for me and folks like me, it’s not “just a dog” but an embodiment of all the<br />hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy<br />of the moment.<br /><br />“Just a dog” brings out what’s good in me and diverts my thoughts away from<br />myself and the worries of the day.<br /><br />I hope that someday they can understand that it’s not “just a dog”, but the<br />thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being “just a man or woman.”<br /><br />So the next time you hear the phrase “just a dog” just smile… because they “just<br />don’t understand.”<br /><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It is with a heavy heart that I report the loss of another sweet newf. This morning, as I was at the vet with Guinness and Dixie, Nelson went and laid on our front porch for the last time. He had followed Jess and I to the gate when we went to milk then back in with us when we came back. Everything seemed as normal and I was taken aback when Amy called to tell me that she found him dead on the porch. I was on my way to pich up a new rescue for Sharon is St Pete and had to return to help Amy bury him. He is laid to rest next to Skipper beside the citrus tree and pond. I never even got pictures of him and Hope together and that makes me even sadder, I will have to rely on my memory.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In Septmeber, we aquire a male landseer, who is wonderful, very obedient. Just got his stepbrother, a black newf, from the same breeder, who is two motnhs old. The difference in their size is remarkable, and I am afraid the older one will hurt the little one, he is pretty ruff when he plays and uses his paws a lot. Any ideas how I can get these two togther and keep the little one safe? I keep them in their crates at night together and they end up licking each others noses and tongues, and appear to enjoy each other.  I am just worried about the little one getting hurt by the older one. They really look like they want to play, just worried about the size differnence. Any advice would be appreciated. The older one weighs about 60 pounds and the younger one is at 16 pounds. My plan right now is to keep them apart until the little one gets large enough to handle the big boy, but if anyone can shed some light on how we can do it sooner that would be great.<br />Thanks]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Here is a link regarding a health problem at the Lee County animal shelter. <br /><br />http://www.news-press.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080209/NEWS01/80208088/1075<br /><br />My Auntie just adopted a dog last week, and this dog has had a cough and runny nose since they got her home on Monday. Evidently the shelter staff knew of the problem at that time, and said nothing to my cousin when he and my aunt went to pick her up, nor when they brought her back to have her spayed, or friday when she returned for heart worm treatment, even when my cousin asked about her symptoms. When he went to pick her up later in the day there was a sign on the door saying there were no dogs available for adoption at this time, and STILL THE STAFF MEMBERS AND VET TOLD HIM NOTHING ABOUT THIS SICKNESS! They did not find out until they read about it in the paper! The article says to get rid of this all of the shelter dogs may have to be destroyed. This sweet little dog, Peaches,  has had contact with other neighborhood dogs, my cousin's dog, the vet office, the groomer, the list goes on and on, and still, never a phone call from the county shelter with a word of caution or warning them! OUTRAGEOUS.  I just thought you guys over in LEE COUNTY should have a heads up.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi Everyone,<br /><br />Lew Hall, owned by Noah and Momma Hall, has put together a wonderful fundraiser to support Newf Rescue. Newf Rescue is something very dear to Lew and Momma Hall's  <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/heart.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' />  . They had many wonderful years with their rescue OHMY! and now have the pleasure of being adopted by Noah. See the attached flyer for more info and Lew's phone number for any questions.<br /> <br />Lew needs to get as many Newfs and their owners as possible to the event for a meet and greet. This is a great opportunity for us to showcase our wonderful dogs. I will probably be there (health permitting) and I don't even have a newf.  <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/sad.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' />  Also going is Hailey, the little girl pictured on the flyer with Noah. Hailey lives in Orlando. For those of you who do not know about Hailey, she is a little girl who met OHMY! at St. Augustine in the Slave Market many years ago. He made such an impression on her, that her mother brings her to Tallahassee every year to see her OHMY! After OHMY! passed away, she continued to come to see Noah. She is now traveling from Orlando just to come and see her rescue newf Noah! This just shows how remarkable our dogs are and how much they need our support, so dogs like OHMY! and Noah get to the forever homes they so richly deserve. They need to be able to live up to that which they were bred to do, and with our help, they can!<br /><br />I know there is a training workshop for the draft test the day before the event. This is perfect!  <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/smile.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' />  George's house where the training will be is in Riverview which is close to St. Pete where the bowling alley is. Lew has already gotten $100 in donations from his bowling league and the flyer has only been up for 3 days. This would also be a neat thing for those involved in the draft test or wanting to learn more. We could even do a little draft demo at the bowling alley during the meet and greet. This may also help garner more spectators and possible stewards for the draft test (at George's) the following weekend. <br /><br />But most importantly, this is for the dogs! Please plan to come with 1 or more of your newfs to this wonderful event.  <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/biglaugh.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' />  <br /><br />Thanks!<br /><a href='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1204650692_16_FT0_newfie_rescue_fundraiser.pdf'><img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/generic/lite/file.png' alt='' style='border:0; vertical-align:middle' /></a> <a href='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1204650692_16_FT0_newfie_rescue_fundraiser.pdf'>newfie_rescue_fundraiser.pdf</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[hi!<br />I am also interested in the newf breed, thinking about adopting one in the future. Are all newfs big droolers? I know they are in the masiff catagory, and my friend's mastiff drools nonstop, to the point it's too much.  I hope the newfs aren't that bad.<br />I have two small children and I think that the newf personality and temperment is what I need with my kids.  Any advice about the breed for me?  I have a keeshond now, and he sheds like crazy. Are the newfs big shedders?  I suppose in FL they probably lose their undercoats since we dont have the cold winters...<br />I think I am 100% convinced this is the breed I want to adopt next...I'm thinking female (all I have had are male dogs in the past).  I lost my weim about six months ago due to heart failure. my keeshond doesnt act the same anymore, kind of mopes.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hello:<br /><br />My family is very interested in Newfoundland adoption (Yes, we will complete the application and reach out to Sharon... <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/cheesey.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' />  ).  We have done quite a bit of research on the breed, have experience with other large breeds, and interacted with a newfie at the local dog park.  However, we would like to meet a few more dogs to get a better feel for the differences in personality.<br /><br />Will there be any events or upcoming fundraisers that will allow for an opportunity to meet the newfs?  <br /><br />Many thanks,<br />Gina M.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi Everyone,<br />Joined this site last month.  I am the proud happy owner of a 7 month old Newf girl and would like to get involved in some FL Newf activities.  Got my first Newf in 1984 and lost her when she was 11.   Moved to Florida, got dogs with shorter fur but really missed having a Newf.   Is it possible to volunteer to help with parade or something since I am not a member - can't become a member until I get to know some of you and can get 2 references.  Nalu and I have completed 3 obedience courses with the local obedience club and plan to continue on with obedience and agility - should be entertaining if nothing else and she loves it.  Would like to explore some more Newf specific activities too.   Look forward to hearing from some of you   Billie]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If anyone has any help on a violent out of control itch-please help.  I have a 3 year old Newfounland with not the first problem.  A 16 month old male has had a crazy out of control itch since he was 3 months. It is not scabies or any mite..  Had allergy test through blood work.  Thyroid is normal. <br /> I would have to write a 20 page documentary on all I have done but briefly, he is on Omaha's pride raw food.  On flax oil and a great multi and antixodiant from the holistic vet, Dr. Dodd out of California. Also on MSN and a probotic.   He goes to Dr. Xie in Gainesville who is a alternative Chinese herbal medicine vet.  He is on his Chinese herbs.  He recieves chrio adjustments and Acupuncture.  He has done a product called NYZMES which detox's for yeast.  He is on a Neem pill supposed to help for itch, which does not work.  Four vets are working with him and all are STUMPED!!!!!<br />He has had no steriods as I understand the horrible side effects of these.  We have tried Neem Oil shampoos, Alove Vera shampoos, Tea Tree oil shampoos.  I can not list them all.  He is losing all his hair.  My breeder in Nevada is stumped as well as my breeder of the healthy 3 year old.  DESPERATE IN ORLANDO!!!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We picked up our newfie baby, Mika, on May 3rd. She is now 17 weeks and 1 day. She is our very first newfie, and I am sooo happy with our decision to getting her. She is quite the character!! We haven't had a puppy in our lives since 1995, a long haired Rottie, named Kiddy. We lost her on August 7, 2007 at the age of 12. There is no amount of words to express what she meant to me. I have had a lot of dogs in my lifetime, and I really thought I would never even consider getting another after Kiddy passed. But time helped me get through the loss, I started yearning, and began researching breeds. When I read about the newfoundlands, and their personalities, it was like a description of Kiddy, only on a larger scale <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/smile.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' />   From the slobber and hair, to the gentleness and companionship. So here we are, with our new ball of fluff. Kiddy would have loved her. <br />I noticed there is going to be a "fun day" for the newfies in August and would like to come. Do I have to be a member already to go to it? Or is this one of the events we would go to, to find our sponsors to become a member?  Info would be great <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/smile.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' /> <br />I've attached some pics from 2 weeks ago. She is quite the "looker".<br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1214521532_187_FT0_100_7503.jpg' rel='external' ><img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1214521532_187_FT0_100_7503_.jpg' class='bbcode' alt='' width='250' height='188'  /></a><br /><br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1214521532_187_FT0_100_7497.jpg' rel='external' ><img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1214521532_187_FT0_100_7497_.jpg' class='bbcode' alt='' width='250' height='188'  /></a><br /><br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1214521533_187_FT0_100_7492.jpg' rel='external' ><img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1214521533_187_FT0_100_7492_.jpg' class='bbcode' alt='' width='250' height='188'  /></a><br /><br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1214521533_187_FT0_100_7406.jpg' rel='external' ><img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1214521533_187_FT0_100_7406_.jpg' class='bbcode' alt='' width='250' height='188'  /></a><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I give this information to all puppy inquires and answer these questions myself. <br /><br /><br />QUESTIONS POTENTIAL BUYERS SHOULD ASK BREEDERs<br /><br />1, Why do you breed Newfoundland dogs?<br />2.  What working activities do you do with your Newfoundland dogs?  <br />3.  How many titles have you put on Newfoundland dogs that you have owned or bred?<br />4.  Can I see copies of any title certificates?<br />5.  Do you personally work and show your Newfoundland dogs?<br />6.  What is the age of your oldest litter that you have whelped?<br />7.  How long have you owned Newfoundland dogs...when did you purchase your first        Newfoundland dog?<br />8.  What have you accomplished with your Newfoundland dogs?  What do you hope         to accomplish in the future?<br />9.  What seminars, specialties and/or workshops have you attended to expand your        knowledge of the breed?<br />10. May I see copies of health clearances for your breeding stock?  Don’t accept a         verbal claim of health clearances.  If a breeder says an individual has health         clearances, they should be able to produce the clearance certificate.<br />11.  Can you supply references of people who have purchased Newfs from you?<br /><br />12.  Can I have a sample copy of your contract?  <br />  <br />13.  Can I have a sample copy of your guarantee?<br /><br />14.  Where are your puppies raised?  What do you do with them before they leave <br />       You?<br />15. May I visit your kennel before I make up my mind about a puppy. <br /><br />16. Do I have to pay a deposit before I visit or see your puppies. ? ( Good breeders Never demand a deposit before seeing a puppy or sire and Dam.) <br /><br />Note: There are breeders out there who are good “salespersons”, and who will talk in circles. Demand to see proof of what they say they have accomplished with the breed.   A reliable breeder will be happy to provide you with what you ask for.<br /><br />Web sites should show pictures of their dogs in the ring as well as at play. <br /><br /><br /><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<div style='text-align:center'>You may have all noticed the dogs heads under your user names when you post on the forums etc. One of the options available is to also name the rankings. Usually the names created are related to the type of site, (eg in an NFL based site the first level might be Draft Pick, and the tenth rank might be Hall Of Famer). I am trying to think of ten different ranks that relate to Newfs and thought something along the lines of level one being Dry Mouth, level ten being Uber Drooler. If you have some suggestions please let me know and we will get it set up.</div>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I hope everyone is getting ready for the upcoming Newfie Fun Day here at the R.O.B. I know we are. We have been getting the place in order and planning the food for both two and four legged guests. It is such a great way for prospective, new and long time newfie people to come together and have fun with our dogs. Can't wait to meet those I just see listed here and put a face to the name!lol]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[So what's up with the recent photos on the front page? Are we all having to imprison our newfs lately? Something in the water that's making them all misbehave - run away - create chaos?<br />Kim - Paul and I are both looking forward to coming to the ROB next weekend, even if we have to bring dogs in straitjackets (much easier than putting them behind bars), and are really looking forward to the Sausage Bread - you are making sausage bread, right??<br />Bonnie - are you bringing Kermit the Dog? We'd love to see him.<br />Linda]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hey guys, Central Florida NEWF owner here.<br /><br />Few questions:<br /><br />1. Who are you guys using for groomers? We do our at home share of trimming and daily  burshing, but a once in a while treatment would be nice.<br /><br />2. Does ANYONE know of any central florida locations that allow swimming? He does go to the dog park at Lakemonte and Aloma, but I don't allow him to swim too far because of all the alligator warnings.<br /><br />3. Is anyone on this forum the owner of a landseer male that goes to that dog park on Wednesday morning? My boss goes every wednesday morning and sees one there, but I haven't been able to make it out.<br /><br />4. Anyone interested in a Central Florida gathering? I can't make the even on the 9th, but a gathering at a set park would be fun.<br /><br />Cosmo turns 1 tommorow, so he is going to the dog park. He is VERY excited!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I am new to the site. My husband and I are looking to get another puppy with in the next year. We adopted one from the Washington Humane Society in DC earlier this year. I would prefer a puppy in for the reason we have two cats.  We house sat other dogs several times before we got Kya (our puppy of 6 months) to see how they would do.  For the younger cat size doesn't matter and we didn't think she would have a problem adjusting..and didn't.  As for the other cat it took him a little while to warm up to the dogs.  I think he has adjusted well and quickly to Kya because we got her when she only weighed just over 9 lbs.  I know the newf will be much bigger but I think will be an easier adjustment for him.  I fell inlove with newf years ago when I was a dog groomer and house sat for one of my clients. I have been doing as much research as possible about the breed.  I am familar with all potential heath risk and allergies.  My favorite client was a newf who had allergies to the extreme.  We are weighing our options on buying or adopting. I would like to adopt but I worry about it being a healthly dog and cost alot more later. I am also worried about finding a good breeder. I was researching a breeder I was thinking about using them until I came across this site yesterday .  I will not be using that breeder now.  I would like some insite on the what the breed it tested for health wise before they are adopted out?  What the process it for breed specific adoptions.  We currently have 3 pets that we have adopted from the shelter shelters in our area.  Any suggested or insite from anyone that has adopted before or reccomendations on breeders would be greatly appreciated. Please I need your help.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I note the vote seems to be headed for Amici's. I ask as you post your vote to think not just of the food for the evening...but for those of us that have hit economic hard times myself...I can hardly afford $20.00 for dinner. I know I am not the only poor newfy lover and I love the get together to see old and new friends but if the economic scene does not improve, I am afraid I will not be able to join the fun.,.I rmember that the reason for the weekend is to fund rescue...if I spend for the dinner at Amici's, there will be no room for contributions...I years passed when I was in different financial times, I contributed much financially. I ask that as you post your vote you think about how many others may be like me and simply can not afford the splurge...judyz]]></description>

Riki loves the rain and stands at the door and just barks all day to go in and out, in and out, in and out. then we went out during a light rain and played in the street gutters. needless to say she needs a bath!<br />I hope everyone's homes are making it through safely. Right now in Brevard County we're still getting hammered with rain and wind...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone,<br /><br />We have two newfies, a Landseer 13 months old and a black newf 10 months old. Theyhave the same sire, different dams, and are very different in both confirmation and personality. The Landseer, Bos'n, is very active and rambunctous, longer legs and thinner, while our black newf, Tipps, is very laid back and mellow, beefy and stocky. <br /><br />Is there really a difference or is it just personality? They are both delightful, but the difference in them is so remarkable...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Yesterday Mom and I took Kermit to the Intracoastal to go swimming. This was his first time in salt water. Since we have been having so many storms, it is too rough to take him to the beach, but the ICW is much calmer and a great place to swim. Well, he loved it! <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/biglaugh.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' /> <br /><br />He retrieved his aqua water wubbas that I just got for him. He thought they were great fun. But I think he had more fun chasing me into the water. I would throw the toy and he would just stand there. Then I would start to go out to the toy and he would come bounding along porpoising behind me and trying to catch my arms until he had to swim. He was so funny to watch. He had this great big smile on his face the whole time. And after he was done retrieving a few times, he was too tired to swim anymore, so he sat on my lap in the water giving his Grandma and me kisses. He just snuggled right into me with his little head on my shoulder and chilled out in the nice cool water. <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/shy.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' /> <br /><br />We are going to take him 2 to 3 times a week, weather permitting. Mom and I had so much fun with him. He is just so smart and cute. And I have a true water dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/cheesey.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' />  I think he might even actually jump off of something into the water. We will have to try it when I take my kayak out of storage for our vacation to Jekyll Island in October. <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/shades.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hello!  Wanted to see If someone may have had same problem. My 5 yr. newfie is having trouble standing up. His back legs slide out and he falls on his face. Its killing me to watch. My latest VET thinks it may be tick related and has him on prednisone,doxycyline,metoclopramide for 3 weeks now without much improvement. I think after hiring my third pest control company they may be winning the battle of the ticks in and out of house. I am located in Vero Beach but would travel anywhere if someone knows someone who can help. TWO months ago truman was a 130 lb wildman. Now a 100lb old man  Thanks in advance   Steve]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi there!  I'm passing this along in case any one is interested.  I would love to attend this with Abbey but unfortunately have another previous commitment (drat, drat, drat!).  But I thought that there might be someone in our Newf community in this area who might be interested!  This is a part of the Global Peace Film Festival held in Winter Park:<br /><br />Highlighting the Street Fair is the <strong class='bbcode bold'>International Pet Parade for Peace</strong>, beginning at <strong class='bbcode bold'>11:00am <br />from Hannibal Square. </strong>  All people and well socialized pets on a leash are invited to take part in <br />the parade, and <strong class='bbcode bold'>owners are encouraged to dress their pets in international costumes that represent <br />their heritage</strong>.  Epcot’s College &amp; International Programs will participate to represent the <br />different countries.  The Street Fair closes with the Interfaith Council of Central Florida hosting a <br />multi-congregational tree planting in Winter Park at 3:00pm. <br /> <br /><br />Culminating the five-day film festival is a Global Peace Film Festival Street Fair in Winter <br />Park on Morse Blvd. between Park and Knowles Avenues from 10am to 3pm on September 21 - <br />the United Nations International Day of Peace.  Created in partnership with Bullfish on Park <br />Avenue, the street fair will include demonstrations and activities as well as shopping.  “How to <br />Make a Difference” mini-seminars will be presented by the Winter Park Public Library, focusing <br />on the environment and practical ways to be “green.” <br /> <br />for more information on the festival, etc:  www.peacefilmfest.org.<br /><br />*********<br /><br />I'm bummed I can't attend as I think this would be a fun one to do with a Newf costume - maybe a fishing net with some plastic fish?  <br /><br />Cindy &amp; Abbey (who'd love to go and be admired and meet all kinds of new people &amp; their dogs)<br /><br />]]></description>

Ofcourse like our golden, and cat he would live inside the house and be a part of the family but we are active and spend a lot of time outdoors.<br /><br />Also as the dog spends more time in warmer weather, does the coat naturally thin?<br /><br />I look foward to your reponses.  PS this is a great web site.<br /><br /><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Somebody please help us.....We have a 12 month old newfie girl "Gidget" and we need advice. We took her to the vet about 2 months ago because she had a spot on her hip that had bumps and was oozing, they told us it was a "hot spot" so they scraped it and sent us home with an antibiotic/anteseptic spray and some oral antibiotics.  This seemed to clear it up then about a month later she had it back again plus more spots.  We took her back and they said it was the same thing and that it was caused by moisture.  They gave us steriods to give her and the spray again.  This helped for a while then she got it again only this time in several places.  We took her back and they said she needed to see a skin specialist.  We took her but in the meantime, we were out for our evening walk and all of a sudden she stopped and raised her right leg and would not put it down, I rubbed her hip and rotated her leg and I heard it pop, then she put it down and we continued our walked.  When I took her to the skin Dr. he said she may have an otoimmune disorder and that he thinks she may have a serious hip problem and needs hip replacement surgery.  We are still waiting for the biopsy to come back about her skin and now we have to schedule an xray for her.  It is breaking our hearts and we have spent everything we have.  We changed her diet to a mostly meat formula just in case it may be allergies but I don't know what to do.....please, if anyone can help us, we can't even think about putting her down but we also can't imagine the pain she must be in.... she never cries or whimpers and is always so happy to see us.  We bought her from a breeder with great ratings and got a health certificate for both her and her parents, obviously something wasn't true]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi all,<br /><br />We stopped in St. Augustine on Saturday on our way home from Jekyll Island (Kermit will tell you more about that trip shortly). We went into Faux Paws on St. George Street to talk to the owner Joan. She is a very lovely lady who has always been very generous to our club for this annual event. Last year when Jeannette and I went to the store, we didn't get there until Sunday afternoon. Almost everything Newfy had been bought out already. I ended up only being able to get a Landseer Newfy angel in Lakhota's memory. (They have always been given out in the past at the Blessing of the Newfs, but weren't last year, so I bought my own.) So, this year Joan and I wanted to make sure she has enough stuff for everyone. She has some new catalogs with brand new items. She has some beautiful new purses, a great new pewter key chain, a really cute new ornament of a newfy pup in a stocking (Newf head is sculpted in resin the stocking is fabric and stuffed), and many other items. I put in a big order for myself which I will pick up when I get there. One of the pictures in the catalog that can be used on a number of items is a Landseer pup that looks an awful lot like Mr. Kermit the Dog. So, I ordered a beautiful faux leather purse with that picture on it. I also finally am getting an arm band holder (for the show ring to hold your number on your clothes instead of using rubber bands) with the same picture on it. I have been wanting one for years and never found quite the one I wanted. I ordered the key chain for myself since my Dad bought the one Joan happened to have in the shop. And the last thing that I ordered was an embroidered newf hand towel which I will use as a drool rag when Kermit finally gets into the ring. I know that Joan will be ordering more of those as well. She was completely out of our breed at the time. Mom bought this fabulous nightshirt with 2 pockets on the front. Just the kind my mom loves to wear around the house. So, make sure you check out the shop when we are in St. Augustine and patronize the store. Joan always donates quite a few items to us for the auction and brown bag raffle every year. And she truly cares about making us happy. I can't wait to get my stuff!! <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/amazed.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Tulsa turned 5 years old on October 20th<br />I will never forget Gerri, Kim Sharon and Judy Z greeting me at the Ocala show in 2004 and welcoming me to the Florida club.<br />They have taught me grooming techniques and encouraged me to join the club.<br />It was also at that time, that I met Mickey also.<br />It was these five whom taught me to research my bloodlines thoroughly and to check those health clearences. I was so grateful to them since I almost bought a newfoundland puppy from a breeder whose sire was gorgeous in type( so I thought since I only saw size and coat) who would not show me the clearences. I listened and I learned.<br />I finally decided after 3 years, to adopt my Gunnery from Kloofbear.<br />Not that I wouldn't adopt a newfoundland from any of these breeders, because I would in a heartbeat. No one had a litter at the time.<br />Thank you again for all your support for all these years and best of luck to you in the future.<br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[While lenny was at work in his truck today, he saw a bunch of posters in regards to a missing Landseer newfy. He called me to tell me and he brought me home the phone number. <br /><br />I just got off the phone with the owner, Meredith. Her girl is 2 years old, named Phoebe. She has been missing since Oct. 27th from the Bluffs community in Jupiter, FL. She was out wandering in the yard with her roomate's pit bull. The pit bull was found by the Humane Society in Juno Beach (next town over) and the roommate was called, however, no one found the newf. The feeling is that she has been taken by someone. She is a smallish girl weighing about 95 lbs. <br /><br />Please keep your eyes and ears open, to see if we can help find this dog who is missed terribly by her owner. If you here of anyone just getting a new landseer that is around 2 years old all of a sudden, please find out as much info as you can and call either Meredith at 561-633-1116, or me at 561-745-7067. She has reported the dog missing to the police. She has alerted all the shelters, and I have advised her to bring the flyers to all of the vets in the area. <br /><br />Thanks for your help everyone. Let's see if we can help get this baby home where she belongs.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[First, Congratulations to the winners of the show!!!!!!!!<br />Second, Mr. Gunnery was attacked at ringside by a Rotthewelier about a minute before he was entered. Physically, he bruised Gunny's hind leg and pulled a clump out of his rear and back.<br />Emotionally, Gunny showed beautifully until he went back into Winner's class and made the turn and there was a Rottie sitting there and he refused to move. He will probably never forget this. The owner of the Rottie never even came forward to see if Gunny was alright.<br />Gunny is so sweet that he did not defend himself but I covered him and bocked him as much as possible. The Rottie attacked him from behind and broke loose from the handler.<br />Third, I decided to stay for the rest of the day to try to reassure Gunny that not all dogs will attack him. We are just sitting there and a lady staring photographing him. Finally. she introduced herself as a photographer from the Ocala Star Banner. Gunny is in today's paper.<br />What a day!!!!!!!!!<br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Okay everyone,<br /><br />I just got confirmation that there is indeed a Landseer newf in the movie. Now I have known about this since the filming, but was waiting for the movie to come out (because I didn't know if the scene would end up on the cutting room floor.), that one of OUR club members is the newf in the movie. Lori and Troy Wilson's girl Cheyenne. Stacy Marino, the animal wrangler that I work with, is also in the movie. She is the one who brought Cheyenne. So if you are going to see the movie, watch for Cheyenne in the scene at the obedience class. She is actually right next to Marley. I cannot remember which dog Stacy is working in the scene. Also the author of the book and his wife are also both in the scene working dogs in the class.<br /><br />So, a HUGE Congratulations to Lori and Cheyenne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Newbie here, I have stumbled across this site before but never really stopped and paid much attention to it - Heres my story...<br />9 years ago an adorable irresistable ball of fluff entered my life unexpectedly. His litter was abandoned and my Uncle's girlfriend was a helping to find a home for the the last survivor. They called first and I said "NO WAY" after all life was busy with a three year old underfoot and I worked two jobs at the time I had no time for a dog. So being very understanding of my current situation she brought him over so I could meet him face to face and ofcourse I couldn't resist. Apparently nobody wanted him because his paws were so big they knew he was going to be a huge dog and alot of "work". <br />I had no idea what a Newfoundland was or that they even existed. Turns out he is a newfie mix don't know what he's mixed with but he has all the characteristics of any newfie I have ever read about. "Sampson" instantly became a member of the family and it has been so much fun watching him grow up with our son. Our poor kid has been slobbered on and used as a Newfie pillow for every road trip we've taken in the last 9+ years. <br />Everyone who meets him just adores him I can't even begin to imagine my life without him. He has recently begun working as a therapy dog and he absolutley loves it, It makes me so happy to see him bring so much joy to people. Anyway thats a quick update on me and Sampson and glad to see this forum is here - I have been reading and reading. I only wish I would have found it sooner.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi, My name is Rachael I have just recently moved to Tampa (Town n Country area) from western NY. I have 3 dogs. A seven year old Golden Retriever (called Hugs) who LOVES to swim, and 2 seven month old newf puppies (not litter mates.) One is a landseer (Nana) and one is a Brown and White (Hershey). You can see their picture (from halloween) here: <br /><br /><img src='http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/2405/img11506923651og7.jpg' class='bbcode' alt=''  /><br /><br />They are both about 70 pounds now. Nana completed puppy agility class (learned every piece of equipment but not at full height) a month or so ago at our dog training club in Rochester, and they have both completed puppy obedience from PetsMart. We are still struggling with potty training a bit, but doing okay. Accidents are rare these days, for which I am glad! Both are also crate trained.<br /><br />Are there any good trainers in my area? I am looking for something more serious- then PetsMart, but not a boot camp either! I would like both pups to get their CGC/TDI eventually, and perhaps an obedience title. Hershey seems pretty inclined to obedience, where Nana is way more bouncy, and gets bored really easily. She is our ADD pup.<br /><br />I was also wondering if there was any other newf owners in the area, and if you get together with your dogs. I used to live in Baltimore as well and they had a newf swim once a month. I moved not long after finding that group, but the meets were fun. They also did a dog park meeting at various locations once a month too. I live just about equal distance between "West Park Dog Park" and "John Chestnut Sr. Dog Park".. I havent been to either yet, so if anyone has any experience with either of these please let me know. <br /><br />In NY we had a 1/2 acre fenced yard, but here in FL we just have a tiny yard, but our house does back up to a canal (which leads to a creek then old tampa bay.) Not sure how safe that is for swimming though I worry about giardia and gators and sharks! Also our realtor said there is a dog swimming beach on some island, but i forget which, and that we could let our dogs swim off the Courtney Campbell bridge (???) so again, if anyone has any info about good places to let dogs swim please let me know!<br /><br />I am especially interested to see if my Newfs will swim, my first Newf Tuggy had real bad SAS, and though we took him to the beach often he never actually went in more then his ankles, and we never forced him. We had worked with a veterinary cardiologist who had said that we should offer him things to do but not force him into physical activities if he didnt want to do them, so we never did, my golden though lives for the water! I would really like my pups to have the opportunity to swim and also perhaps earn a water title some day! <br /><br />-Rachael &amp; Hershey &amp; Nana &amp; Hugs<br /><br /><br /><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We are very lucky right now with our rescue dogs. Karma is a lovely, sweet and goofy girl who will be moving to her forever home on Saturday. Everyone who meets her just loves Karma and her new owners plan to bring her to St. Augustine next December so we can all meet her. Later that day Kristi and I will be picking up Ellie, a Landseer who showed up at our local (Sarasota) Humane Society this week. (We're just waiting for her to be spayed). She's the only Newfoundland they ever remember having at the shelter. She's young, very sweet, does the 'Newfie lean', and with another 20 pounds or so will be a beautiful, though probably cow hocked girl. It seems that Newfies may be a casualty of the economic times - Ellie's family lost their home and could not keep her. I think this may be a busy year for rescue. Please offer to help in any way you can. Kristi and I will welcome all offers. We have potential adopters applying that need home visits, we always need foster homes, and help with transporting the dogs and please support the wonderful 'Bowling with the Newfies' event that does so much to provide the resources to care for these lovely dogs.  Please keep an eye on the 'Rescue' section; we will post all new dogs as soon as possible.]]></description>

Any emails I send to the club do not go through.  I have not had any responses after applying to the membership or rescue adoption center.  It seems to be not active anymore.<br /><br />Does anyone know anything about them?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[So I am curious to know who is showing in February and where. I have entered Kermit for his very first show in Boca on the 21st. I am unable to make it to Tallahassee this year. Boca is a 1 day show outside at Sunset Cove Park. I have never done a show there before. I also want to consider if I am going to go spectate others shows in Feb, and want to know where people are entering. Also, I will be entering the West Palm and Davie shows in MArch. I have space at my house if anyone would like to come and stay. I am probably going to stay in my trailer at the shows though. It will be easier on me, since I don't drive, to not have to worry about someone getting me there at a particular time.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<div style='text-align:center'>Okay, I know this is a silly question but here goes. We live on ten acres and this year we seem to have had a bumper crop of acorns. To start with the Newfs didn't seem that interested in them, but as they (the acorns) have dried out, the Newfs seem to almost be grazing on them. Is there anything harmful in the acorns that we should be concerned about, or should this be regarded as a blessing and a way of keeping food costs down in these tough economic times (only half joking there).<br /><br /></div>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I received this today and want to make ALL aware of this alert. Hopefully this will keep all of our newfies safe!!!If your newfs are like mine, goats disguised as newfies...this is an important alert!!!!Pet alert - Poisonous Mulch...Deadly to dogs <br />  <br />PLEASE PASS IT ON ~ EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A  DOG OR CAT, YOU SURELY KNOW SOMEONE WHO DOES.   <br />Checked on Snopes and it is true.   ( http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/cocoamulch.asp) <br />  <br />Please tell every dog or cat owner you know. Even if you don't have a pet, please pass this to those who do.   <br />  <br />Over the weekend the doting owner of two young lab mixes purchased Cocoa Mulch from Target to use in their garden. They loved the way it smelled and it was advertised to keep cats away from their garden. Their dog Calypso decided that the mulch smelled good enough to eat and devoured a large helping. She vomited a few times which was typical when she eats something new but wasn't acting lethargic in any way. The next day, Mom woke up and took Calypso out for her morning walk . Half way through the walk, she had a seizure and died instantly.   <br />  <br />Although the mulch had NO warnings printed on the label, upon further investigation on the company's website, this product is HIGHLY toxic to dogs and cats.   <br />  <br />Cocoa Mulch is manufactured by Hershey's, and they claim that 'It is true that studies have shown that 50% of the dogs that eat Cocoa Mulch can suffer physical harm to a variety of degrees (depending on each individual dog). However, 98% of all dogs won't eat it.'   <br />  <br />Cocoa Mulch, which is sold by Home Depot, Foreman's Garden Supply and other Garden supply stores, contains a lethal ingredient called ' Theobromine'. It is lethal to dogs and cats. It smells like chocolate and it really attracts dogs. They will ingest this stuff and die. Several deaths already occurred in the last 2-3 weeks. Theobromine is in all chocolate, especially dark or baker's chocolate which is toxic to dogs. Cocoa bean shells contain potentially toxic quantities of theobromine, a xanthine compound similar in effects to caffeine and theophylline. A dog that ingested a lethal quantity of garden mulch made from cacao bean shells developed severe convulsions and died 17 hours later. Analysis of the stomach contents and the ingested cacao bean shells revealed the presence of lethal amounts of theobromine.   <br />  <br /><br />PLEASE GIVE THIS THE WIDEST DISTRIBUTION!!!   <br />  <br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<div style='text-align:center'>I have received several requests asking me to remind people of some common forum etiquette when it comes to replying to threads. The problem seems to be staying on subject. This is a very informal forum and we are very lenient on enforcing standards, but as a common courtesy to others please ask yourself before you reply to a thread 'Am I on subject for the thread that I am replying to?'. If your answer is no then just start another thread...<br /><br />The biggest benefit to this approach is that other forum users now and in the future do not have to wade through many unrelated posts under a subject that they are interested, and are able to gather information more quickly.<br /><br />So just remember, before you hit that 'Post Reply' button, ask yourself, 'Am I on subject?'.<br /></div>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hey all,<br /><br />I'm making plans on getting myself and Merlin up to MI. The logistics are beginning to scare the crap out of me, so I'm hoping that some of you who are also going can help out.<br /><br />Would any who are driving up have a little room for an extra folding crate and grooming table, possibly a cart (collapsed)? I can't take off early enough to spend the extra time to rent a van and drive up, and I think the drive would stress me out way too much, anyway. Even if 3 people could take just one of these items, I would pay each for the extra space used to transport. I am staying at the host hotel with a couple of friends from Seattle, so you won't need to go far to find me.<br /><br />I would be very grateful for any assistance.<br /><br />Please reply directly to me: danielle.bingham@gmail.com<br /><br />Much appreciated,<br /><br />Danielle and Merlin]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<br /><br />We are in the Tampa area, and are looking for a breeder that has puppies coming sometime in the next few months. We are able to travel a few hours away, to get a little bundle of joy for our family. We have a nice fenced in yard, and are getting a pool installed later on in the year. We are a military family, so we get to use the services of a military veterinarian. We have a 2 and a half year old son, and we have been wanting to get a dog for him to grow with, and after all the research I have done, we know a newfoundland is the perfect decision for us. <br /><br />So, if anyone can point us in the right direction, that would be great! <br /><br />Jessica]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone,<br />I'm Sarah, mom to a 5 month old male Newf called Max. I'm wanting to get involved with events meetings and to join the club.<br />Max is my first newf. It was almost 20 years ago when I decided they were the dog for me, but I come from England, and at the time did not have the space or money to allow me to have one. So I kept myself happy by going to Crufts and other local dog shows to see other people's newfs. We moved across the pond to St Augustine 7 years ago, and my thoughts turned to getting a newfie again, but the heat worried me. We rescued a local mixed breed instead. Now here comes the interesting part of the story....how Max came into our lives. <br />Three days before Christmas, we were doing some last minute shopping, and my daughter wanted to look at the puppies in the puppy store. I hate the idea of these places, couldn't believe they even existed when we moved here. We went in, and I was shocked to see they actually had a Newfoundland for sale. I instantly started to worry for this boy. It was almost guaranteed he would be an impulse purchase, and what would happen after Christmas, once he got bigger than than the owners expected and he started to drool everywhere? I decided to purchase him on impulse myself! Bad move I know, but I'd been thinking of these dogs for so long, it was time to take action and actually have one. At least I knew what to expect of these dogs. Amazingly, or rather worryingly, all the shop owner said was that this type of dog was Nana in Peter Pan. Great piece of info!<br />I knew of the potential pitfalls regarding health and his unknown background. Those pitfalls soon surfaced on Christmas day when he was admitted for emergency treatment for kennel cough and diarrhea. It eventually became pneumonia. So it was a bad move for my wallet, but it was a good move for Max. We love him, and we're going to give him the best home. Sorry for such a long first post!<br />Am I right in thinking there is an event (draft test) in Jacksonville this weekend? Which day would be the best to attend, and would I be able to bring Max with me?<br /><br />Sarah]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<div style='text-align:center'>When you are wanting to put a url (or a link to a web page) in your forum posts (or any time that you want to send a link) I would like to point out the <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/generic/bbcode/link.png' class='bbcode' alt=''  /> at the bottom of the posting box. Clicking this symbol will copy the syntax required to put a link into your post, the just replace the 'hyperlink url' with the address of the webpage you wish to add to the post and put appropriate short text between the link boxes. This stops long urls from causing the forums and borders from misaligning. <br /><br />Another suggestion that can be used in any electronic forms that you want to use is to try <a class='bbcode' href='www.tinyurl.com' rel='external' >tinyurl</a> to convert those long long url's to a compact url that is easier to copy into browsers, email etc. Try these tips out and see if they work for you. </div>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<strong class='bbcode bold'>In looking for a new family dog we contacted NEWFFLA to put in an application for a rescue. Kristi has been great - very informative and helpful. Then yesterday Linda and Paul Lawson came by with Micky for a home inspection. <br /><br />You couldn't have a better goodwill ambassador than Micky! My wife Carmen, who'd never met a Newfie before, was taken right off by this lover-bear's mighty stature and gentle nature. My daughter was playing shy during the visit, but immediately afterwards was claiming 'Brushing Rights' for our Newf-to-come. Both my ladies have been talking non-stop about the experience with Micky, and that is saying something! (not the talking non-stop part ... the talking about a dog! ) <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/biglaugh.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' /> <br /><br />Paul and Linda did an outstanding job of telling us about the requirements, particulars, and challenges of the breed, and were the ideal intellectual partners to Micky's indefatigable charm!<br /><br />So we just wanted to give a public Shout Out to the Lawson's and to Micky for taking the time to come by, and we look forward to the opportunity to accept one of these great dogs into our family!<br /><br />Regards to all,<br />Dan, Carmen, and Faith Franck</strong>]]></description>

I got my bath for $170 a few years ago, and that was at a dog show with no shipping.<br /><br />I absolutely LOVE my Booster Bath. It is a God send. Saves my back and the dogs don't mind it at all. I highly recommend it for anyone who has been thinking about it. Even if you aren't a Costco member, it is still worth it. I believe they charge like another $6.50 for non members. A couple of people on Newf-L went and ordered it after I told them about it.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I am thrilled to announce that Roz got her last two points for her CH title this past weekend and all were gained in the Bred By Exhibitor class. Sharon, Jess and I went to Biloxi MS for 4 days with 6 newfs and came back with 2 new CH's, Maverick got his last single and Ellie got another single. Both Maverick and Rox got to go in the group ring and they had a blast. I wish I had a video to record Roz as she was so happy to be out there. Jess had a hard time keeping up with her when they went around the ring. Roz will be very dissapointed when she finds out that she will no longer be attending shows as she dearly loves them and that I have set her apt at the vets to be spay. I will bring her back out when she is a veteran in a few years but for now Jess and I have decided that we will start her draft training which will make Gerri happy. The bitch Sharon co-owns with Lou Ann finished on Friday so we are both very happy. Even tho the site was quite a drive we liked it a lot (and the food and gambling was fun too)and will consider going there again.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Maddox is a gentle giant, that is for sure. He's just about a year and a half old now, weighs maybe 140 or so pounds (I guess he took after his smaller mother). He knows how to sit, shake, roll over, heel, etc. Although, around new people he is just a tad over-excitable. He loves to swim when he gets the chance.<br /><br />The bad news about Maddox. The vet says he has flea allergies. We've treated the yard, the cats, the house, etc. I feel bad because he chews at his hind half incessantly. The front half of him is gorgeous, but the back half makes him almost look sickly. It started as a small hot spot a while ago, and it has just become so bad. We used to use advantage, but that really didn't seem to help - so we switched to a different brand that only Banfield has - it works great. There can be zero fleas to be found on Maddox, but he still chews and scratches for most of his waking hours. We've done steroids and antibiotics, but we're running into financial walls. I just don't know why he keeps itching, I know for a few days afterwards with the fleas jumping off, or the remants of a bite - like we itch mosquito bites for days after - but it almost seems he does it for either attention or he's managed to become neurotic about it.<br /><br />When we got him, we didn't expect the budget to turn sour and get so bad. It's hard for us to treat him the way he deserves to be treated. I don't know whether to find him a more suitable home or find another way to help soothe his skin. Any ideas?<br /><br />I attached a photo of Maddox that is when he is about 5 and a half months old.<br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1244475245_350_FT0_030808c.jpg' rel='external' ><img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1244475245_350_FT0_030808c_.jpg' class='bbcode' alt='' width='250' height='375'  /></a><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi Everyone!<br />My name is Ana, from the Daytona Beach Area. I do not own a Newfoundland, but both my husband and I are planning to get our first one in the near future.  We both feel that the Newfoundland is the most special breed for their temperament and abilities. <br />At the present, we own two dogs: Shadow, a 14 year old female, Black Labrador Retriever (English Type), who is doing great and in excellent health and <br />Shiva, an 8 year old, female, half New Guinea Singing Dog half Australian Kelpie, who is a sweet and fun little girl.  Both our dogs are kind of "rescue".  We got Shadow 10 years ago from an ex-neighbor that did not take care of her properly.  And we found Shiva in the middle of the Everglades when she was about 6/7 months old.  <br />We have been reading and doing research about the Newfoundland breed for sometime now and we both feel that a Newfoundland will not only fit our lifestyle, but we can be good "parents" to a Newfie too.  We are in the process of moving from the Keys to the Daytona Area and our new place should be ready in the next 2 months.  <br />I want to thanks Kristi, from Rescue, for answering my emails and the info she has provided us with.  <br />We have many questions about the dogs, so we will be posting regularly. <br />Thanks for your attention and we look forward to join your club pretty soon. <br />Ana<br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone,<br /><br />I adopted the wonderful Apache (now known as Patchie) in December. He is about 7 years old now. <br /><br />As soon as I got him, we began very short walks twice a day. first just up and down the street. We gradually increased until we walked about 15-20 minutes 2 times a day. Very occasionally a 30 minute walk. This was during the winter but I am always mindful of the temperature. Also I know he is getting older with a touch of arthritis but he has always seemed okay.<br /><br />About three months ago things began to change. If he heard a basketball bouncing he would turn around to go home. Same for workers on roofs, a fire siren in the distance, etc. Finally he would just stop at the end of the street and go no further. I thought, well, it's getting warmer, we'll just do short walks for a while. And for a time, we'd walk to the end of the street and back.<br /><br />Now, anything will make him stop. A balloon on a mailbox, a group of kids walking by, etc.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Question sent to me...thought I would post for responses....<br /><hr>Hello,<br /><br />We are in the late stages of acquiring a newfie puppy from an NCA registered breeder in Pennsylvania and they recommended we contact you for the name of a veterinarian in the Miami area (we live in Miami Beach) that was familiar with the breed, or at a minimum dealt regularly with large breed dogs.  Are you aware of any in our area?  We have already contacted Amarosa Newfs, but they informed us that they rarely use vets and did not recommend anyone.  Also, if you are familiar with any reasonably priced groomers in our neighborhood we would appreciate that as well.<br />Our other primary concern is obedience  classes.  Is there a good doggie school you would recommend in our area?  We would initially be looking for puppy classes, but would like to continue to at least complete the CGC.<br /><br />Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />Rob &amp; Stacey]]></description>

We have a Leonberger/mix puppy and are really looking forward to owning our first Newfie. What advice does everyone have for a first time Newfie owner? I'm really wondering about diet. Our family already has draft horses and alot of outdoor cats we've adopted because they were dumped at the end of our road. Thanks to anyone that responds, I really appreciate any advice! -CJ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Yet again the time came for us to make that final decision for one of our newfs. Last week with the help of our vet and the support of good friends we assisted Hope to the bridge to join Dixie and the others. She was a very determined girl from the begining, demanding all your attention and if she did not get it she would grab the bottom of your shirt and pull you to her. I have many shirts with "Hope holes" to remind me that she was with us for quite a while. Over the years we used this need for attention and taught her to help carry in the grocerys and other items from the van. She earned her Ch title from the Bred By Exhibitor class and was the first Beach Bear dog to be invited to the Eukanuba Dog Show. Hope was Amy's dog and both she and I were there to help her on her way.Her ashes will be going with Amy when she moves away from home this fall. I know Hope will be there watching over her as she always did. Rest well Hope and be free of all pain.<br /><br />          Ch Beach Bears Hi Hope Briarwood  "Hope" 4/7/99-8/4/09<br /><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Patchie collpased on Tuesday evening and we learned that he had hemangiosarcoma, a very bad and fast spreading cancer. Yesterday we decided to let him go and I kissed and petted him until he was gone. <br /><br />We had just adopted Patchie in December; he was fostered by the Ekerts. By the second day he was here he and I had bonded - I was his person and he was my Newf. He was a wonderful dog with just a bit of stubborness and mischief in him. This was his forever home even if it was only a short eight months. His life was filled with love and dignity (except when he was eating his own poop).<br /><br />Thanks to the Eckerts for fostering him, the Rompots and Chonkos for helping with the adoption process, Mickey Sterling and Jan Sowers for talking with me on the phone last fall so I could learn more about Newfs, and everyone who provided help here on the forum.<br /><br />We are heartbroken. Patchie was the first dog I ever had - he was the best dog I ever had.<br /><br />Kathy Stevens and Robert Miller]]></description>

She was spending almost all her time in our bathroom except when she went for a walk. When Kim's parents came over on last Sunday Valkyrie did not even get up off the bathroom floor, and she would always meet them at the door.  All these things made us realize that Valkyrie was in a lot more pain than she was letting on so we decided to do what was best.<br /><br />Thor has been looking for Valkyrie everywhere since we came home both inside and outside.<br /><br />WE miss her very much.<br /><br />David, Kim, Simon, Ebby, and Thor]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This is will be my first year in FL with my new puppies (they are 1yrs old) and I would like to participate in the St Augustine Christmas Parade. I wondered when more info will be available about this event for firs timers. I have lots of questions. I will be coming from Tampa, I called today to the RodeWay Inn and was told they are sold out. So I made reservations at the Quality Inn @ 1111 N. Ponce De Leon Blvd. Is this a good choice or is there a better secondary hotel?<br /><br />Also I will have all 3 of my dogs with me most likely, which includes my golden retriever, Hugs. Are Newf siblings allowed, or would he have to go to some sort of Doggy Day Care? What time is the parade? Also what is the noise factor? Recently one of our neighbors set off fireworks while my dog Hershey was outside, now he is nervous of loud noises, though I am working on this.<br /><br />Any help appreciated.<br /><br />-Rachael<br />Nana, Hershey, Hugs<br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hello all, some might remember a discussion about my newf named Maddox. He has allergies to fleas and gets a bit neurotic about chewing himself.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I am newly single since my fiancee and I decided to part. Maddox was to be with his dad, but now he says he doesn't want to take care of Maddox and wants to drop him to a shelter on Monday. <br /><br />He's two years old almost (Oct 27th). landseer, not neutered, sweet, intelligent, and I think he deserves better than a person from a shelter and someone who can appreciate him. I am currently in Jacksonville, Fl and if anyone knows of anyone nearby who would give him a home, please email me at tahoeshannon@gmail.com]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Well we spent Saturday preparing 9 newfs for the show on Sunday. We had a total of 13 newfs and 10 humans mingling comfortably in the home of David and Jacqui Smith. Good company, good food and good dogs make a great combination. Shawn and Penny, I know you will be ready to join us again. Thank you Jacqui and David again for your hospitality.<br />                                              Now on to the brags:<br />  Our Maverick(Kloofbears Most Wanted) took Winners Dog for his first major, Bianca(Beach Bears Moor from Sangar) took Winners Bitch and Best of Winners for her second major, her daughter Ellie(Beach Bears Hellion of Troy) took Reserve Winners Bitch, Jacqui and David's Tug(Rockbottoms Study in Black and White) took Reserve Winners Dog, Ana's Rhodo(Ch Amorosa's Life of the Party) took Best of Opposite and Lourdes' Isabela(Ch Halcyon-Cofino Queen Isabela) took Best of Breed. The only thing wrong with the day is that South Florida can be so darn HOT even in Nov. But we all survived.<br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1257298408_6_FT0_scan_mav_boca_major.jpg' rel='external' ><img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1257298408_6_FT0_scan_mav_boca_major_.jpg' class='bbcode' alt='' width='250' height='219'  /></a><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I've had to cut back on the amount of food and type that we have been feeding my Landseer "Rio". Not that he's is "fat", but rather to slow his growth down a little.<br /><br />Just recently he has started counter surfing anywhere there's food that he can get to. It hasn't been a problem before and he's been able to "reach" the tops of the counters for a long time.<br /><br />I'm thinking that he's going through one of those growth "spurts" and is just hungry for anything tasty (or not, he ate a pair of my socks then threw them up last week).%-6<br /><br />I was wondering if anyone might have some suggestions about something that might be filling but not "fattening" that I can give him to make him think that he's full"?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Okay, I was just out to my car and when I went to get something out of the car and make sure there was room for things we need to move today, I found a pair of women's sneakers in the back of my car. Lenny saw them in the back of my car at the test and thought they were mine. So, if anyone is missing a pair of sneakers, please let me know. They look to be somewhere around an 8-10 in size. (I didn't try them on, but I wear a size 10 and they look like they might fit.) They look to be pretty new sneakers. I will hold on to them and bring them to the parade if they aren't claimed first. Otherwise, I guess I have a new pair of sneakers. <img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_images/emotes/default/biglaugh.png' alt='' style='vertical-align:middle; border:0' /> <br /><br />My contact info:<br /><br />Bonnie Giacovelli<br /> e-mail: zookeeper@cheerful.com<br />home phone: 561-745-7067<br />cell phone: 561-714-0673]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When we adopted our Amy, we got one of those monster-sized (okay, Newfie-sized) wire kennels for her.  Well, while she IS clearly kennel-trained, as she has accepted the job of being my shadow she prefers to sleep right next to me; I think she's been inside this beautiful kennel exactly twice, and that's only when I crawled in first. And as she's started to become quite the adept service dog for me (bracing me, pulling my sorry butt up the hills, etc), I really have neither desire nor need to kennel her. Bottom line is I've got this great huge kennel with no real need for it.<br /><br />This thing is really huge: 54"L x 46"H x 35" W. It is the coated wire folding type, but I've utilized snap ties to make it quite rigid; if you travel I guess the folding feature would be handy. I've got a custom made cage cover with roll-up end flaps (light sage), and a nice bed with complimentary cover of the same heavy cotton duck material. I paid a small forture for it all, but if it isn't going to be used it doesn't make much sense keeping it around to take up space; I'd be happy to get ~ $200 back out of it. And as I said, it is new and unused, unless you count Amy walking in it twice for a total of maybe 2 minutes.<br /><br />I figure someone out there would probably have a good use for it, thought I'd post it here before trying CraigsList or something. If interested email me back at captdanf@hotmail.com.<br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1259561302_328_FT0_280.jpg' rel='external' ><img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1259561302_328_FT0_280_.jpg' class='bbcode' alt='' width='250' height='188'  /></a><br />]]></description>

Not only did Bianca get her majors out of the way(still need those last two singles) but Maverick finished at the Naples show going Best of Breed over the 2 specials.

<description><![CDATA[My beloved Agent 99 passed away in August. My son and I are on the prowl for a new pup this spring. We would prefer a male. We even have a name already- Audie Murphy or Murph-my son is a soldier and it is his turn to name the next pet. I crate train but my job allows me to be home alot so the baby does not live in the crate all day. I teach 3.5 hours a day at a local tech school so I am home to let the pup out and to play with it. The pup will have a fenced in large yard, a huge bed to sleep on (mine) and an old Newfie mix to boss around. Please help me find a puppy as I really miss the Newfie love. There is no other dog like the Newfoundland and the passing of 99 left a huge void in my household. Thanks for the help and Happy Holidays Charli Lucier]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi!<br /><br />I was wondering at what age do Newfs stop growing. Edna is a year long. She has a long torso and short legs. Even if she is short she is quite a beauty. She looks very healthy and her face and expression has matured. Have your Newfs grown proportionately? Should I expect to see her grow a little more?<br /><br />Thanks!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone! I am new to the site and wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Cheryl and I am owned by a beautiful 14 month old Newfie named Princess Huggy Bear or Huggs for short. We live in St Johns County in NE Florida between Jacksonville and St Augustine. We are looking to become members of the club, as well as get Huggs involved in draft and water training. <br /><br />I look forward to meeting all of you ad Huggs is hoping to make some Newfie friends too!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[My 8 month old male has horrible habit of jumping and biting us when he is out for a walk or on the leash to potty. Sometimes in the house; but we are able to correct it more readily indoors than out. My arms are black and blue with nip and bite marks. I am getting extremely frustrated with the jumping and biting part, as it's painful and difficult to work with. Did any of you experience this problem with your pups? Offer any suggestions? Is it just a matter of time? Once he's neutered will that help?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Things have not been the same in the Beach Bear household since Jan 19th . On that day we said good bye to our sweet girl Bianca.  From the time we moved to the ranch Bianca took on role as our guardian, keeping the girls and myself safe from intruders. Opossum and racoons were not allowed in the yard and the cows were to graze a "respectful" distance from the fence line. Even when burglers broke into our neighbors house we never feared, Bianca was always on duty. But on that dreaful day she felt she needed to protect us from an awful snake and in doing so lost her own life. <br />I miss you dear, my Bianca, and with you have gone some of my hopes and dreams for Beach Bear Newfoundlands. You leave behind several wonderful offspring and one very broken heart.<br /><br />Rest in peace my wonderful girl.<br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1265286365_6_FT0_scan_bianca_boca_major2.jpg' rel='external' ><img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1265286365_6_FT0_scan_bianca_boca_major2_.jpg' class='bbcode' alt='' width='250' height='236'  /></a><br />]]></description>

DeSoto Dog Beach either Saturday or Sunday morning for a lovely get together about once a month. We usually hang out there for a few hours. I would like to continue that tradition as soon as the weather gets warmer (for us humans). If you are interested in joining in the beach fun, please let me know what day &amp; time is good for you. I will send another post out about exact day &amp; time. Hopefully we can get together in April.]]></description>

I am looking for an outside dog, because I do have now have 2 and a half acres for them to roam freely. It's attatched to an 11 acre farm that belongs to my family. <br />I am an aspiring veterinarian, am 21 years old and have had only one other dog, but I'd really like to bring a Newfie into my fold. If anyone has any info, please contact me whenever you can spare a moment. <br />Rescue or a new puppy is fine by me! I'd love to give one of these guys a good home with plenty of love.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many of you have met Harvey at various events and anyone who has every talked to me has heard about him. Harvey was born severely crippled by hip dysplasia and in spite of a total hip replacement when he was 3, his hips finally were so painful that I had to give him some peace. Harvey was an AKC Canine Good Citizen and the epitome of a great pet Newfie. He was always calm, gentle and happy. Harvey was very popular at our local dog park, and as he grew less able to walk, people would take the time to fuss over him where he lay. I believe he loved the Xmas parade. We attended 9 parades with Harvey always riding on the trolley. Cherokee, his Newfie sister, and I will miss him terribly. Harvey was a beautiful swimmer, as graceful as you would want to see and one of the last things he was able to do was go swimming. I hope Harvey is pain free and jumping fences now and that he knows how much I will always love him.<br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1270917858_25_FT0_dscf0352.jpg' rel='external' ><img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1270917858_25_FT0_dscf0352_.jpg' class='bbcode' alt='' width='250' height='188'  /></a><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I am in the process of trying to find my newfie a good home. He is 14 months old and an amazing dog. I recently had to sell my house and move to south florida for work. Bosco grew up with a large back yard and a pool to swim in all summer long. He is a superb swimmer and can dive to almost 4 feet to retrieve under water. He has been with me since about 6 weeks old and I have all his AKC paperwork. He is great with other dogs and loves attention. He is perfect in every way. Healthy and strong as an ox. Bosco was neutered about 3 months ago. The apartment life and my schedule with work is not allowing me to care of him like I used to be able to. Any help that anyone can provide us with, Bosco and I would be very greatful.<br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1271812457_543_FT0_p2120032.jpg' rel='external' ><img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1271812457_543_FT0_p2120032_.jpg' class='bbcode' alt='' width='250' height='188'  /></a><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I justed wanted to give a "shout out" to all those who help with Rescue. I had the pleasure of working with Kristi, Janine and Nancy this weekend. What outstanding women! All have families and jobs and still manage to give countless hours to helping Newfs who need to find homes. When you attend any events, give these ladies a big thanks. Most of their work is behind the scenes but we see the results in healthy &amp; happy rescued Newfs!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hello Newfie Owners -  I need help -  we are new to Florida (Tampa Area) and we can not find veterinarian that we could trust. So far we tried two and in one case Veterinarian had no clue about Newfies and in another - after the visit for yearly checkup and shots -  dog is limping and we were told that there is nothing wrong.<br />Can you recommend veterinarian - Tampa, Orlando area will be great -  but if we have to drive farther - also no problem -  as long as we know the our dog will get help from competent people. From the looks of it -  he will need x-rays for sure. <br />Thank You in advance.<br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many of you saw Gandalf limping at Droolapalooza.  Two days later, he was diagnosed with bone cancer in his shoulder that had spread to his lungs.  Our only course of action was to manage him with pain meds and let him go when it was time.  This morning, his time came and he passed peacefully at age 2 1/2.<br /><br />I can't come up with a good reason that this goofy, gentle soul was not granted a long life, but I am thankful that he was able to overcome his fears and had a year full of love and happiness.  In spite of all of his fears, he was never afraid of people and loved everyone he met. Thank you to everyone who rescued him, bathed him, and loved him.  He was one of a kind and will be eternally missed.<br /><br />Lisa, Richard, and Sirius<br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1275165244_285_FT0_gandalf_coffee.jpg' rel='external' ><img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1275165244_285_FT0_gandalf_coffee_.jpg' class='bbcode' alt='' width='250' height='334'  /></a><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[HI everyone, <br />We are new to this forum and to the breed. We are down in New Orleans where there are not too many newf resources. We absolutely love Samson our 7.5 month old newf and did plenty of research before we decided on the breed. Samson is everything they said he would be, loveable, mild tempered, and very easily trained. The only problem we can't understand is why he is scared of everything and everyone. Dogs, people, ducks, cats, heights, water, stairs, and the list goes on....  He actually runs and gets in his kennel when the leash comes out because he doesn't want to leave the house.  He jumps up on the bed but is too scared to jump down. We have a large pool we thought he would  love but he is terrified of it... So we bought a baby pool to cool him off in the heat but he is scared of that too!!! We tried coaxing with treats, positive reinforcement, but we don't want to force him and make him even more scared. What are we not doing right? Are other newfs this scary? Our labs have always been daredevils so we don't think it is our temperament that is causing this behavior.   Another problem is when he gets scared of people or kids he barks and pounces around and at 105lbs he looks pretty scary to other people, but we known he would never hurt a fly. Does anyone have any advice to help us? <br />Thanks,<br />Mark, Cassie, and Samson<br /><a class='bbcode' href='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1275751522_567_FT0_img_1134.jpg' rel='external' ><img src='http://www.newffla.com/e107_files/public/1275751522_567_FT0_img_1134_.jpg' class='bbcode' alt='' width='250' height='188'  /></a><br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I just had a phone call from a man in Largo, FL.  He has a female less than 2 years old and admits he is "new at this" but wants a stud service for his girl. Please note that he is NOT at all interested in any sort of education a breeder may need but he simply wants to breed his Newfoundland.<br />This is a warning to stud owners, puppy purchasers and rescue workers alike.  A potential puppy mill at worst and uneducated backyard breeder at best is in our midst here in FL.   The chances of his having a healthy girl of a type which would contribute to the betterment of the breed is slim, given the lack of education about the breed, protocols, health clearances, and when I spoke to him about showing his dog, to have an expert opinion as to the fitness and  breed type of his Newfoundland he wanted to know, "Show my Newfoundland what?"<br /> Any potential puppy purchaser who thinks they will get a knowledgable mentorship from someone who has no idea what they are doing and doesn't care to learn. will be in for a rough time when they need the support of a reputable breeer.   The chance of a puppy produced by such an individual ending up in rescue is astronomical. If anyone would like more specific info about this man contact me privately.<br />Mickey Sterling<br />Conchshell Newfoundlands]]></description>
