Wonderful photos! Zoe where did you get the water rescue harnesses for your Newfs? I've seen them used in Europe, but I've never found anything like them locally.

Our water group make the harness's - they are quite expensive as made from water treated leather etc.Below is a link to the page selling the - I'm not sure if they can be shipped etc but worth a look,they sure help in the water - esp as we do lots of excersice's that involve pulling the dogs in the boat !

Great Pictures!! Makes me wish it was summer again.
All Newfs use them in Europe. The water rescue in Europe is much different than in the US. To me it shows more of the natural abilities than our test. It is more advanced for sure than in the US. If you have seen any of Capri's photos of her girls working....amazing!!!!

Thanks guys,we are actually still swimming here in Blighty .. last Sunday was VERRRY chilly ! 8 degree's . . . I'm sure I lost feeling in my toes ! we're out this Sunday,and the next,then we'll swap over to carting all winter !
We have been doing some of the U.S Test excersices,our girl Ella has passed all of the English tests so we thought we'd try something different as a treat.We spent last Sunday throwing three people out of a boat together,sent her from th boat to get the first - return,2nd then third.She loved it!
