Thank you, thank you, thank you to all the wonderful people who helped bring about Tiika's success at the Penn-OH water tests last weekend. The Penn-OH Newf Club has such wonderful members who are so kind and helpful! The Judges, Roger, Bethany and Joyce for being so supportive and...

Just got back on Monday night from a wonderful water rescue dog seminar put on by the Penn-Ohio Newfoundland Club. Roger Frey was the instructor and the workshop was great. 34 dogs! Wow! We don't get many more than that for our National Specialty show here in Canada! It was so nice to meet all...

We're just back from Nationals. What a fabulous time we had! Tiika got her highest Obedience score yet - 190 in Open! which meant she got her AKC CDX. I'm so proud of her!

The Newfoundland Dog Club of Canada's (NDCC's) National Specialty Show will be the end of May. It's also the 50th Anniversary of the NDCC! We would love to see as many Newf owners and admirers as possible at the Specialty. It would be wonderful to see a big contingent from Newf Net ! On...

Tiika has had some swelling on her knee, so the Vet prescribed Rheumocam (Meloxicam) which cost us $156.78, and theoretically should give us 27 daily 5.5mg doses. Although it feels like not more than 1 or 2 doses are left after 22 days. In the meantime, I came to NewfNet, looked up threads and...

Wow! 30 people vying for 24 spots, not counting requal's and post-dated later than March 1st! Wish us luck in the lottery!

You can now do on-line entries for the NCA Specialty. How many Newf Netters are entering the Obedience and draft trials?

My outside grooming table is not that big but Tiika always wants to be 1st. As soon as the dryer is turned on after our walk she's up on the table waiting. This morning Splash went up 1st but Tiika wasn't happy with that so she climbed up, too. Both of them waiting to be blown in 11Degree F...

Tiika got her first leg in CKC Utility A this morning - 1st time in a Utility trial! We try again tomorrow!

I just spent 3 days in a working spot with Tiika at a Bridget Carlsen seminar here in Ottawa. Wow! I am overwhelmed with all the new things to try. It was absolutely amazing!!! Thanks to Newfiemom for recommending the seminars to me. Just wish I could have known about her methods 5 years ago...

We just got a wonderful letter and certificate in the mail from the Canadian Kennel Club. Apparently our Tiika took third place for Newfoundlands in Top Obedience Dogs in Canada in 2011. Wow! That was a big surprise but we are very proud of her!
