Hi! Yes, as pipelineozzy told you, I am looking for Newf fur! I'm going to spin it with an appropriate other fiber and make yarn!

Newf fur has to be prepared and stored properly to be usable - Completely dry, only undercoat, from a mostly clean dog. By mostly clean, I mean no vegetable matter or fecal/urine matter in it. The best way is to do a "blow out" or brush out with a slicker or fine comb and gather that dry hair in a paper grocery bag with a used dryer fabric softener sheet in it. ANY moisture at all will cause mold to happen in that bag and destroy the furn.

But, yes, if it comes with minimum leaves/grass and doesn't mold on the way, I'd LOVE to have white undercoat from your handsome dog!

Haven't seen you post recently, hope you have survived the winter in the frozen tundra of Me. Give Mr. Harley a big ol' scratch on the chest for me and Lu.

I'll be away at the end of the week on a little vacation .... perhaps I can figure out how to navigate this site better when I return. Looks interesting. I may possibly opt out of Newf-l myself.

I should've know that. You know me as "pattiekate". Not too sure how this place works yet.

Aha...found you here. Thanks for your response to my email of this a.m. Decided to check this site out, but not very good at navigating yet. I sometime think I'm too old for this stuff. But I did want to know how to keep in touch with Harley updates. I'll be a regular visitor hopefully.

I use the quick release also .Much easier.

Hey How's Harley doing with the prong collar.I took Chloe around the big block tonight and my neighbor joined us he couldn't believe how gently it gave me control and how pleasurable it could be to walk such a large dog.
