HI Stacey,
I saw a post of yours and noticed not only were you from Ct(we live in Colchester), but that you have a Kloofbear!! We just love Evelyn and have 2 Kloofbears ourselves..Scarlet is 2 1/2 yrs and Karma is 8 1/2 months..We were new to "newfdom" also so we understand wanting to make sure you do everything right for the dog..If we can be of any help, or answer any questions please feel free to email me at srdelson@aol.com.. Also, are you a memeber of Newf club of New England? If not , you may want to consider joining for the ability to network with other Newf owners..Actually this Sunday 6/12, there is an activity called the Spring fling in Westford, Mass which is free..there will be several people doing 30 min talks on everything from rescue to clicker training to chiropractic for dogs! Hope you are enjoying you new pup and WELCOME to NewfNet!
Sylvia, Scarlet and Karma
