After a longer period I managed to come to this board and I was reading some old posts. I found the one about bones and freezing them to kill the bacteria (and the fact that it doesn't kill it...). Well I have a different oppinion on this matter. I belive we are wrong to fight bacteria with...

We are prepearing a couple of dog for the "final exam" and I've got a problem with one of the dogs. It's a lovely golden retriever. He can do all excercises on leash perfect (We do heel, sit in movement, down in movement, and come). But when he's off the lesh, he just wants to run around. The...

I have a problem with Misha's skin. Last summer she developed hot-spots (I delive that's what it was) on her body. On the same spot she lost a lot of hair and it grew bigger and bigger. We went to see the vet. We changed the diet and it didn't help. She was given antibiotics and I had to wash...

I was reading GAD's post about droping Cozy at the vet and how frightened she was... Our vet has a different practice and I loved it. We took Misha to the vet, we waited a while for out turn and then the doctor gave her some sedative in her mouth - there in the waiting room. We stayed there...

Last week it was a time when people here put their funny costumes on. On saturday my familly attended this small carnival nearby. I'd made Misha a costume too. She was gonna be a ladybug. I'd made her costume out of a big red fabric. I just cut the dots out and put it on her (Well I didn't even...

I just found this poem somewhere on the net yesterday and found it really cute. That's why I would like to share it with you. "TO LOVE AGAIN" Oh, what unhappy twist of fate has brought you homeless to my gate? The gate where once another stood to beg for shelter, warmth and food. For...

When Misha was just a small (if you can say that with a newf) puppy I noticed that her legs are trembling quite often - with no noticable reason or order. It happened when she stood or when she layed. It didn't seem to bother her at all and all she needed was to move her leg and the shaking...

This Saturday we took an exam we've been training for, and we passed with fine colours. In this exam we had the dasic obedience, traking (where Misha is very good in), and defence (nobody belived that a newfoundland could pass the defence). Well we passed and Misha has a "degree" now. I was...

I would just like to tell that Misha and I attended our second competition in tracking. It was fun and the weather was better this time - although it was sunny and a bit too hot for Misha (we here tracking at 1p.m.). But she did good - this time we got 93 points. So we did prove that newfs can...

This summer Misha developed some hotspots on her skin. We somehow got over that - with a little help of our vet. But now I noticed that her coat on her neck (under her chin)is very greasy. I never noticed this before. Otherwise her coat is beautiful and looks healthy - but I'm a bit worried if...

I don't think I ever mentioned that Misha and I alreaddy passed our exam on basic obedience. While training for obedience we have also tested her nose with some tracking. She was good in it and seemed to enjoy it, so we carried on with it. And now after half a year or instructor thinks we're...

Misha, my 1 1/2 year old newfy girl had recently got strange red spots on her back legs. They seemed to bother her, she would lick them a lot (already got a spot hairless). I took her to the vet and he told us it's an allergy and gave her a shot and recomended a change in diet. The spots slowly...

Hello! I've seen a wonderfull story on TV about a black newfy. He lives with his owner in a small apartment in a block. And the nicest thing about it is, that this dog is 16 years old. And he's still very brisk. He's got some trouble walking but that's because he got them stuck between bars...

I guess I have to introduce myself first. I'm Mirjam and I have a year old black newfy girl, called Misha. We come from Slovenia, Europe. I'll tell more about us some other time, but now I would like to post a question. I read on the Newf-L site this poem, that lord Byron wrote to his dog...
