Spring 2012 Update

Taylor is pictured here helping Bob redo the fencing around our apple trees. The newfies have the tendency to watch the deer as opposed to chasing them away.

We were back in the show ring with Lincoln. He took Best of Winners at the Newfoundland Booster held at the Tyee show for a lovely win of 4 points. Lincoln then finished his championship at the Nanaimo show. He really did enjoy all the fluffing and buffing. We are back to Tracking and onto Rally. Jackie came into season but we decided not to breed her as the timing for the puppies really did not fit into our plans for the fall so hopefully next spring we will have more time for a litter of pups.

Winter 2012 Update

Lincoln has been enjoying his tracking sessions. We’ve been doing some circle tracks with Jackie and her nose is right on the ground.

Both Lincoln and Jackie have been to homework obedience nights at our kennel club. Jackie has the fastest “arounds” of all the newfies we’ve owned. She’s quick! Every afternoon we go for a walk out and about the property. Jackie is always leading the way but checks often to make sure that we are not far behind.

We’ve had a new addition to our family! Our first grandbaby arrived on Dec. 29 2011. Guess we’re going to have to get the cart out and start practicing. Toooo exciting.
