I've only been showing my Newfs for a couple of years so I'm still on the uphill climb of the learning curve when it comes to show grooming, but one of the first tricks I was taught by other Newf handlers was to use a Listerine/water mist when grooming to volumize and add luster to the coat...

Any thoughts on the best time to ultrasound to confirm pregnancy and get an accurate count? Previously, I had it done at 4 weeks and saw 2 definite embryos and 1 maybe then repeated at 6 weeks and saw 7 clearly defined embryos, which proved to be accurate. I'm wondering if 5 weeks might be a...

Anyone know a good source for Newf-specific business cards? TIA

Anyone going to this show? I'm going to observe and learn as my girls won't be old enough to participated for a while yet. As a newbie to the show world, I would particularly like to see the pre-show grooming process.

Anyone here going to the test next weekend, Sept. 5-6 sponsored by HANC? I'm going as a spectator, my first water test, and would enjoy meeting others. Gordon

Anyone catch the demonstration of a Newf performing a water rescue on CNN this morning? It was at Mystic Seaport. I didn't catch the owner's name but the Newf was Nemo. Gordon

The latest issue of Newf Tide had some comments in the "Lest We Forget" column about Elizabeth Powers, owner of Waseeka Kennels. It states that she went to England in the early 1920's and brought back 5 Newfoundlands, including 1 Landseer, which formed the foundation of her kennel. It then...

I have a couple of related questions on inheritance of coat color: If a black/Landseer recessive male is bred to a Landseer female, will all of the resulting black puppies necessarily be Landseer recessive? If not a certainty, is the presence of white on the chest or toes of those black pups a...

Yes, I realize there's no such thing, a fact that's becoming frustratingly clear as I search for a prospect to mate with my Landseer, Bella. She had her first litter a year ago and I plan to breed her again in her upcoming heat. My hope is to produce a female Landseer which I can show and...

I've been reading that Newfoundlands (as well as other breeds) will sometimes, unprovoked and compulsively, move their new litters from place to place after whelping. I can see how this might be a throw-back to wild dogs moving their litters to minimize scent accumulation which might attract...

How unusual are brown landseers, if that's the correct term for a white and brown newf? I know that it's considered a disqualifying fault for AKC Conformation shows and I've read some material (probably dated) suggesting such pups be destroyed! But I have seen a few out there with their avid...

My 2 newfs, Bella, 11 months, and Bungo, 9 months, are currently on Proplan Large Breed Puppy Chicken & Rice and I'm wondering when to make the switch to adult food? In searching previous postings on the subject, most of what I see are from 2 or more years back and, like most discussions on food...
