Fall 2011 Update

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas with luck and happiness in the New Year.

Summer 2011 Update

Berrypoint’s Dani turned 10 years old in August. We get wonderful updates from her owner. Dani and her “mom” volunteer at their local library.





A few months ago I purchased a booster bath. We had used one at the Canadian nationals and I thought it was wonderful. Years ago Bob had set up a great outdoor bathing area for the dogs, but this device is so easy and so light to move around. Lincoln and Jackie both enjoy sitting or standing in this while being bathed. We continue to do our tracking. All of the kids have come home during the summer for a visit and all have been giving extra attention to the newfs…they love it.

Spring Update 2011

We have collected all of our saliva swabs for the cruciate study going on in England. Owners who had dogs related to ours kindly participated in the study as well.

It has been a very wet and cold spring but we were able to get out and lay a few tracks in our endeavor to master tracking. Lincoln received his OFA clearances for heart and patellas. We also submitted his swabs for the OFA DNA data bank.

Winter 2011 Update

We have been spending time with my parents over in Richmond. The newfies have been well cared for by my husband and friends. Renée and Mike came out to visit during the holiday season and spent many hours outside walking with the dogs.
