Fantastic photos! i moved this here becouse of the conversation and that page is taking a bit to load for my fossile, no offense intended plus i have more to say.
want to pick your brains.
first off, that scenery makes me want to move to alaska even more! how fantastic, the only thing is the darkness, i need the sun.
even in wisconsin the short days really bother me, i function with the sun! LOL
what a handsome hubby to go along with such beautiful dogs.
ok i am in agreement with you that everything is important, but....
here is what i have concentrated on, of course temperament, i have heard so many say landseer are agressive, my gosh, i have yet to meet an aggresive landseer. i do believe that the bad owners who encourage wrong behavior to be at blame, so temperament and movement/structure.
but when it comes to the "pattern"
how do you breed for that?
i am finding that my last litter with morgan and Ch ralees Winddancer had unusual clear white with barely any ticking in probably 4 or 5 of the 7 pups.
now how could we have predicted that? the good ole ticking gene seems to pop up when it pleases and when we dont expect it.
and than the pattern.
it is so hard to get that perfect saddle along with everything else perfect plus with the standard saying the blaze is preferred but the judges mostly place all black heads.
so what can you tell me about that and is there someone you know who could help me.
My heart belongs to the landseer.
i also agree, the working end is more interesting but the conformation end balances out ONLY if the dogs are not in jeopardy.
i see so many AWFUL HORRID fronts and WEAK rears on some of these dogs, in my opinion the newf is at the bottom as far as it can go as far as the lower states go with structure.
my preference and goal is to put out more fantastic moving newfs as Winddancer does, he is the most impressive clear moving gaiting reach and drive that i have seen yet.
so......
can you help me on this and no worry the length of your post i am intrigued by what you have to say
