The Rule is in effect! If you are a breeder and you have more than 4 intact females of any species (dog, cat, hamster, whether you are breeding the animal or not) you may NO LONGER ship your puppies to ANY pet puppy buyer UNLESS they physically see the actual puppy they are buying IN PERSON (no...

This is what I keep hearing about my girl Mousse. I was at the vet recently and that's what the tech said. "I've never seen such a small Newfoundland". Mousse is 1 year 7 months, nearly 27? inches at her shoulders, thick boned, huge back end (she's growing and that was the most recently...

There is a group fighting for an injunction on the new USDA Rule (the one that will affect thousands of wonderful dog and cat breeders as well as pet owners looking for wonderful new family members). I believe we're close or at our $10,000 donation goal, but we need organizations to sign on as...

So the Final Rule has been posted, for anyone who has been keeping tabs on this. It is to go into effect in 60 days. Very sad...

Apparently there are still many people who haven't heard about this supposed new virus that has affected 8 dogs so far, 4 which are now dead (possibly more unreported?) A friend of mine sad a family friend just lost a few dogs to this, so I'm not sure if there are more deaths to be added to the...

Meet Linus!! Not a newf but still cuteee! He was meowing while we were bringing him home. He's sweet but scared a bit. So excited to pick him up today!

Lynn, I believe you were asking about Milo and Mousse pics (lol) I gotta get more Milo pics, but that's the hack job I did on his unruly ears :)

When getting the Cystinuria Testing test done by OptiGen, do the results automatically get sent to OFA? Also, how do you get your dogs health testing to post on AKC's Medical Screens section?

I saw this article on someone's facebook page. I read it and it brought back memories of High School and several of the animal groups I'm a part of. Is the Newfoundland show world like this? So far from what I've seen on the forums, most of the people are not like this, but I've seen some...

I was pleasantly surprised, when I got my x-rays to send into OFA, to find out my vet switched to digital!! :) Now I guess I get to just send them the CD instead of having to worry about bending actual X-rays :) :) Planning on mailing them in tomorrow! YAY! Sending in Mousse's hip rads to...

I found a groomer running a special, $5.00 off per dog on your first visit. Mousse is going to get her OFA prelims done on Monday so I wanted her to be clean anyway and I haven't had the time to groom them, so it worked out perfectly. So I went to her site and talked with her via email. The...

I groomed Mousse today and took some photos She's decided she doesn't want to stay in the dog run anymore. Yesterday she jumped the fence to chase a squirrel and we had someone pull over and knock saying our dog was running loose. Luckily her recall is good and she came immediately when I...

So mousse has had this rash on and off on her belly. It's not bothering her, she's not scratching or licking or biting at it. It's just red. No bumps or anything. It's on her belly area. I am hypothesizing that it's potentially from being damp when she comes inside and laying down in her...

We went sledding for the first time on Christmas. Milo seemed interested but was uninterested after pulling the empty sled back and forth a few times. Practice makes perfect. He had no problem with stopping to pose for a photo.

Some of you may have heard already through facebook but others may not have. We lost our girl this morning. From was I was told it was "bloat" but I was told it didn't include her stomach. She didn't have any gagging, throwing up, no hardened stomach, and no typical symptoms of bloat. She...

I'd like to share this with you guys. It was a sad day for a friend of mine who tried to attend an AKC event as a spectator accompanied by her service dog (well behaved, trained, and wearing his vest). I'm aware of the AKC's view on prong collars, but the law protects the disabled...

Well, not really, but in the exercise, he did... almost. Yesterday is the first day we have taken him to a real beach where the water actually comes up on shore. Usually we're at the canal which has a pretty steep dropoff. There were a bunch of really friendly dogs there and Milo had his...

Okay so this is the first time I've done ears, but they were getting unruly and needed to be trimmed. Here's one ear done, the other not done. I was wondering if you trim the chest up to remove the fur that's sticking out and rounding out the chest better? Milo has some floof that just...

Friday night, at about 2am, I let Miley out to go to the bathroom in the dog run. I went inside and sat down to continue watching tv. Then, all of a sudden about 20 minutes later, we heard a loud crash. We ran outside. My boyfriend was the first person outside. I heard him screaming "stop...

So she's doing well and growing like a weed. She's learning a ton as well. Currently we train every day and tonight is our first night of official training classes with Sue from Denali Training! Her portfolio includes: Sit Down Speak Shake High-5 Wait Stay Come Front Finish Heel...
