One of our local pet stores is having a costume contest that Chloe is entered it. The three dogs with the most votes get a prize. If you have a chance, please help us beat all the little dogs! To vote you have to "like" her picture on facebook. Thanks...

Hey Brad, was your Calza born in 2005? I think Chloe is her half sister! I was checking to see if Chloe was on the OFA website yet (sent in her results a couple weeks ago) and saw ___ N ___ Unacalzanara under half siblings. Its a pretty unique name so I recognized with when I saw it there but...

Chloe turns 3 years old today (hard to believe)! We had our Northern California water test this weekend where she earned her WD on Saturday. Sunday we decided to try the WRD test just for fun, she has been working on jumping off the boat a little and I just got her a splunky for underwater...

I'm fixing the cart that I have, which is a homemade cart that I got used. It is well made, and the right size for a newf, so was an awesome find for $5! It had broken shafts, so I am replacing them. The brakes on the original shafts seem too close to the end for me. Can anyone tell me how far...

At the Wine Country KC show in Napa last weekend Chloe went WB, BW and BOS for her first points! I have been handling her myself and we have been waiting a long time now for those points. I am a lot better groomer and handler than I was earlier this year and we have gone reserve a few times and...

I have two questions for those of you that feed raw. The first is about liver. How much liver do they actually need if you are feeding other organ meat? Im asking because I ran out of liver and it has been over a week since Chloe has had any liver, but she has had lots of heart, some tripe and...

I am trying to get Chloe ready for a water test next month and have been going over the rules. I was under the impression that in the basic control portion the dog dog is supposed to heel and sit when you stop (like in obedience). But now that Im reading over the rules, it doesnt say anything...

I just started showing my girl this year, we have been to two shows and still have A LOT to learn. I have so many questions, but for now Im wondering if anyone has any tips or techniques they are willing to share for getting your newf ready on show day. I have been taking her to a groomer for...

Hi everyone! I have been lurking for a while but have not introduced myself yet. I am excited to meet other newf lovers from anywhere in the world, as well as those from my area. I own one beautiful, sweet, crazy Newf and there are five in my family, spread out over three states.

It took me forever to get the picture small enough so it better work!
