Just wanted to post that we missed the party and have been too busy to sit down and open gifts just yet. But we are thankful for all of you and will send individual thank yous when we are able. We appreciate all of you!!! Matt, Kristi, and the rest of the pack

If anyone knows of anyone who has a property for rent or rent to own in the Cleveland, OH area that would allow our several newfs, please PM me. Also, any suggestions anyone may have as to how to find one would be most helpful. Thanks.

Does anyone have access to a growth chart for female newfoundlands? If not, what is the approximate size (height/weight) range that is acceptable for a pup that just turned 6 months old? I have been told that approximately 10 pounds per month old is right on target, but know nothing about...

So, who all is going to Springfield? We're going with Nymiria and our Belgian Sheepdog, Kaden. :)

Every time we go on a trip, our newf Marriska refuses to go potty in strange locales, I am assuming, because she can't find anywhere to go that she finds suitable. Instead, she "holds it" for extremely long periods of time, sometimes a whole day, and we know that she's uncomfortable. She does...

First of all, this thread is not meant to be a solicitation for breeder recommendations or for breeders to contact us. We just need a little insight. My wife and I have been looking for our first top quality show dog for well over a year now. I guess we are doing something wrong, because...

Thanks to the help of a very talented friend, our newfs are trimmed to perfection for shows. But how do those of you that show keep that "freshly bathed look" over several days of showing? Nymiria looks great the first day, but then her coat starts to flatten out and sort of fall flat and...

I know this is probably not the appropriate place for this, but if anyone has a recommendation of a good veterinary soft tissue/ reconstructive surgeon within a reasonable drive of Cleveland, OH, please PM me. Thank you so much. Matt

So it's winter here in Ohio, and due to the type of heat we have, the humidity in our home is very low. We have noticed that our newfs' coats are a little on the dry side . Is there anything we can do to help this, perhaps a leave-in conditioner? We already give them salmon oil and a skin and...

I am wondering if some of the experts on here can give us some information. Our then 15 month old newf bitch had what appeared to be her first heat cycle beginning July 31. She bled, our neutered male was interested, the whole nine yards. Now 2.5 months later, she appears to be in season...

For those of you going to the Canfield shows: There was a death in our family and the funeral will be held Saturday morning. We will be unable to be there to show our 12-18 bitch on Saturday morning only. HOWEVER, if anyone would be willing to show her for us, we can probably arrange to get...

Other than obtaining the video, does anyone have any suggestions of where or how I can learn to groom my newf for the show ring when her breeder is a little less than helpful and I am not sure other exhibitors would welcome my asking for help? Thanks. -Matt
